my favorite thing about you
is how quickly you got over me
i'd like to think it was a bit at a time
but i think it happened all at once
like the ocean swept up as it always does
and in one static moment
it washed me away
you probably thought it was beautiful
and above water
it must have been
but i swallowed too much saltwater in my silence
and my legs were covered in cuts and shreds
from being dragged almost as quickly as i was forgotten
something must be so wrong with me
to have washed up on shore
and still have something so ugly
as my favorite thing
