strangers

from my poetry book "Sweet familiarity"

your body disconnected from your mind somewhere between your house and mine. i wasn’t sure if you had made a pit stop along the way. i was speaking to a shell of a person i once knew and heard my voice echoing back to me. you gifted me empty responses and broken promises. we drove over to the overlook which i figured could cure just about anything and you might as well had been states away. perhaps i needed it more than you did. you can’t fix what isn’t broken. we were strangers together. couldn’t communicate, even though you were outspoken. a lick of loneliness in company; the hardest feeling to swallow.
