The End of The Circle

September 22nd, 2025

I’ve apologized for pushing
Though you should’ve stayed away
Because you chose this cyclical pattern 
Of the games that you play
Was this a one sided connection
Our memories are fleeting
And I should have known better
Because our history is repeating
You’re like hitting a bowling pin
That wobbles but never falls
What a disappointment
I never saw behind your walls
I’ve filled pages in metaphors
Wondering if my words were pretentious
Always dancing around the meaning
As I didn’t want us to be fictitious
I think maybe that’s the reason
That I didn’t want to leave
Because if I never confronted it
Then I could still believe
I thought love could be found in patience
Building tolerance for my disclosure
Dropping little things in moderation
You still left me without closure
I guess you never figured things out
Keeping me on a leash was never fair
You can run but what are you running from
Maybe you’re damaged beyond repair

The Stranger With Your Name

I saw your name on the profile
In October’s midnight hours
Then the pictures weren’t of you
But your name still had powers
I decided to swipe right
I saw no harm in that decision
Then I froze in place
Like my heart took an incision
It wasn’t because it matched
We did but I didn’t engage
It’s what I couldn’t believe
On the very next page
There you were
Your photos and name
Even after two years
Your profile still looked the same
I sat in my feelings
The emotional weight
From your name to you
Like some twist of fate
I took another chance
As I slid your photo right
And froze to the statement
That triggered fight or flight
It said it’s a match
Two profiles back to back
Again holding off on messaging
And feeling the draw back
Something new
And something old
Feeling the weight
Of the decision I hold
Looking back at that night 
Now that my heart’s out of danger
Wondering why I never messaged
The other stranger
