Poems by the platform

You said you wanted to see the world

I knew the world was a big, scary place

I knew there would be monsters

Just as I knew there would be knights and castles

But I said, "Go," because you wanted to

And because I am not the world and I don't know what exactly

That makes me but I know it makes me something that

You would like to see less frequently.

I am still at the stop where you left me

If I try to stand up from the bench

My stomach spins like it's looking for you

I don't know how to tell it

You are miles away

Boarded using a ticket we bought together.

I don't know how to tell it

We weren't enough this time.

Author's Note

While I was writing this I was actually sitting at a physical bus stop alone at like 1am by the way. So, sometimes these poems are literal! 🥴
