vanish
how well do you trust these
lying eyes of mine
that bore
through your skin to your soul
and send signals
that everything is fine
while swimming
in saltwater seas?
do you believe
the smile you trace
strained under your fingertips
that falls whenever you turn away
to land
somewhere
around my knees?
did you hear the words
i didn’t say
or read the letters
i never wrote?
did you save the date
that i erased
from the calendar
i threw away?
have you noticed yet
that you’re missing me
from a space
i never occupied?
