I wrote stories on the back of your palm,

of waning moons and tides,
and how they came to be

of the deep setting of your eyes,
and how those also came to be

of the miniscule role we play in reality,
and how it makes my chest ache

of the emptiness that echoes
and echoes in me, reverberating

of the creases on your discarded shirt,
and the throb of our unsteady hearts

of the lights dancing outside
and their imminent deaths from overuse

of everything and nothing
that makes me wonder if we have either

but with a tug,
the stories ended all at once,
abrupt,

like we had.
