Invisible Selfies

Invisible Selfies

– You never saw the selfies I took after midnight

Or read the poetry I wrote about my muse

The texts where I shared my thoughts and wonderings

I deleted

They will never bother you

– You never heard my passion or kissed away my tears

So many nights your photos sang my heart to sleep

And I dreamt my fingers stroked your skin

But I woke up

It’s just a memory I will keep

– You never had a morning with me playing till noon

Under covers spilling coffee sipping kisses

To satiate our insatiable appetites

I thought we could

But this love just hits and misses
