Understood

I bend too much.
It's all, and all, and all--
until it breaks.  I break,
and then watch you try
and smooth it over with a kiss.
But you can't catch a falling heart
with dreams,

you can't unsay
and undo, or unquestion.  But I watched you
unLove me--I sat and understood what it meant
as you slowly removed each grain
of resolute adoration.  It was not me,
but it was.  I was, and then was not.
It matters, and then it doesn't--and these,
and this...
only words, in the dark.
