playoff game

we lost.

we were barely playing,

showed up late

cussed each other out

finished strong

too not show up when it mattered most;

it’s not all you

i know the ball could have been better

not perfect, just better

we were never perfect

just humans

showing up each game

playing for our lives

faulty timing

shape up or she’ll be gone

listen up, if you were a man

you’d know what’s going on at home

“your” home- nothing but a coward

nothing is what roams these halls

calls to you in the night

reads to you in the dark-

it’s frosty in this bed

our bed

the one we share

just never at the same time

your song

this dream-

the one that calls me in the morning

eats with me at lunch

and crawls into my sheets every night-

i remember our first dance

to Maroon 5 in a gym

now we slow dance to Elton John

i miss my wife

but this life

swipes my throat like a pup’s belly.

treasure;
