Poetry - Away

needing time with you
without him
without them
makes me selfish

mirrorimage
and
transition

i don't know what to say
i'm across from him
wraught-iron interlocking, pole blocking
you fetching napkins

sex replaces friendship
i know.
i'm there.
lust in place of love
oedipus latches on

wrong drink
drunk from
white chocolate bonds
tethered to him and
skirting around catty, petty

but we've always been that way

maybe i was in love with
someone unexpectedly expected
stranger than you and not;
a work of fiction

he's gone
she's gone
i'm gone

away
