To Him Poem by Brie Carter

You are just a footnote
In my autobiography
A sacchrin 'It's been so long'
At our future reunion
Last summer I longed for you
But that was long ago
We were just awkward hearts
Playing each other like poker cards
You have a full house?
I have a flush.
Watch me flush you away
Down the drain that leads to a world
Outside of my own
You'll be happy there.
You were just a sheep
In my restless, childhood dreams
A 'could have been'
That never was
And never will be
I still feel our artificial passion
Thickening the air between us like a toxin.
