Someday, soon

 
 
I suppose if we broke it down
there’s simply a part of you
that reminds me of me            
 
I’d apologise for this  
in a visceral display  
of awkward Englishness      
if I thought it would matter  
a single solitary shit              
 
but sometimes there’s weight  
to your emptiness, and I know—      
I’ve felt it, written it out              
 
tattooed it on my forearms  
where I keep all my best scars        
 
so we talk for a while,
shoot the shit about everything  
and nothing at all                
 
write poems that connect oceans  
and I dream that you’ll be  
a better person behind a screen  
than the one who stays too long  
in one complicated place.                
 
Never forget, love  
there’s a world out there  
with your name on her chest
 
she’s made of skin and memories  
as real as the lines on your face  
 
as real, and untold
to the infinite.
