Fall Down

It is January thirty-first,

and in exactly fourteen days

On what is supposedly

the most romantic day of the year

I will have been apart from you

for longer than we were ever together.

I wish I could grab you and shake you

and somehow explain to you

how insane that makes me feel

It's like an acid trip and

a psychotic break and

at the same time

I've always been one of

those people who remembers

every birthday and every

anniversary

And I know on that day

you won't feel anything

but I'll be screaming and

screaming into my pillow again

and I don't know how I'm supposed

to handle this, but I'm pretty

sure throwing myself off

the nearest skyscraper

isn't what my family

would consider ideal
