❝ p o l l y ❞

{ 3 }

I know it would be

better for you

not to reply to someone

like me, but

I can't relinquish this nagging

hope tugging at my sleeve.

I know it would be more desirable

for you to keep forgetting,

but time

goddamn time is surpassing

me

and I call out for you

because the notion of

departing this place without

my name somewhere on your

mind

daunts me.

It may be selfish of me. { it is }
