i woke up late last night to shrill ringing.

my phone lit up, your contact picture glowing in the dark.

i thought about all the times you hurt me 

and the people who tried to get involved, 

the people who tried to tell me this is wrong. 

i thought about your hand on the small of my back, 

claws coming out every time i opened my mouth.

i thought about how much you always smelled like weed

to the point that i searched the crowd every time someone smoked. 

and i answered. 

like nothing ever happened. 

like my heart wasn't folding in on itself. 

is this love?
