Marriage is the new going steady


your heart wont always be broken
and it wont always
stay
intact
explosions, cracks,
catastrophes
and-
there will be
bleeding

but there is glue
and stitches
and band-aids
and from time to time
shit like
words will heal
you -
a kiss will
hold you
together

the first time you
swallowed
the first time
i breathed
the first time it ever felt
good
the body we buried
the secrets we
swore
the drowning we witnessed
at sea

how we laughed at the
thought of a
happily
never after

the boat was
sinking

how we never
looked back
