Untouchable

like two kids
in a candy store
ruining their dinner

unwrapping secrets
and belly laughs
whispering stories
the stars told us

you wrote in my book
then reached in
and tore the page
out

you wanted to
play
pretend
it never happened
you never said those things.
it wasn’t real.
you didn’t feel.

there are things i know
i can’t explain
i want to finish this story
but you stole from mine
to finish yours

so, i’ll tell the trees
about you
and me
how we used to be
the taste of candy
the hurt inside me
what laughter feels like at midnight

when you’re untouchable
