It’s not love.

You turn away
Paper air planes flit to the ground
I do not seek to regain contact
You were gone long before
I said hi.

The planes are burning now.
Ash coats my gingers
Collects on the eyelids of
My dreams, dry tears
Spilling from empty
Non-verbal lies.

It’s about time
We pulled that castle down.
