a dance i can’t seem to learn the moves to
step together, rush back
drink to forget, or to remember how to feel
like something is there but
not enough to admit that i care
enough about this game anymore
love me until i burn away or
fake it ‘til you make it
pretend to be aloof and force me into a corner
until my chest constricts and i finally burst
into a thousand sweet nothings
all over the floor, puzzle pieces scattered and searching
drink up false hopes and insecurities
that shine bright like distant nebulae
suffocating any glimmer of hope left for us
raise your glass one last time
to your forgotten lies and alibis
just friends
‘lmao ily,’ too
