evaporate

one too many

missed steps,

two missed texts,

messed up a

friendship.

you "mistook" the

things we ranted,

but before,

we weren't to be

taken for granted.

"forgive and forget"

oh, but i cannot,

"forgive and regret"

that's more like it,

but i'll can it away.

otherwise,

i'll be weighed down,

drowned,

by the nagging feeling of

this unappealing mess.

for now,

i think we need

to take a banana split,

because things aren't

looking too sweet.

lately,

salt is the only thing

keeping me afloat.

but unlike evaporated water,

you won't me mist.
