not my photo
4:01 am.
my eyes glued shut for a horror movie to play.
she's an exquisite stranger.
she's me now.
i'm a neglected wraith.
the motion picture was so practical
i believe it still moved to the big screen.
it was a mandatory watch.
sweat filled my pores as you gripped onto her
like you vowed you'd do me.
i was unable to arise.
i feared it was sincere.
the exquisite stranger is a replacement of who i thought i was
with you.
our so-called charm was just a fantasy movie that i have watched too many times.
but this time
i woke up
and turned my fear into a rhyme
that you'll never read
rather than a nightmare
that you'll never see.
4:18 am.
