Where She Went

Years from now, maybe decades When I’ve stopped looking for you In every face, and every song In every book, and every call When wishing wells are empty Of my desperate bids for you When I’ve realized shooting stars Are beautiful because My eyes weren’t picturing Your face for a wish instead When memories of how you Laughed at my valentine’s note In front of your popular friends Will stop leaving an ache When scars from razor blades On my ankles fade into spiders’ web Trapping my love like a broken fly Maybe after all this and more I’ll look back and smile Say it was a crush I had, And my smile won’t tremble With hidden denials and screams Maybe then, you’ll look back And remember this crazy girl Who loved you with the force Of a thousand cannons and bombs And wonder where she went.
