Ash Wednesday! Down and Across

By Ash Catcher
W hat was your first impression of me? What did you think when we first met? I thought you were weird. 

E verything I told you was the truth. I trusted you too easily. I should have known.  You reminded me of him. 


N ever on the same page it seems, I am a chapter or two ahead. I am always in a rush and you take months to finish something. 

E ither of us gonna cave and say something? I feel you linked to me. What the fuck is going on? I’ve never felt like this.  

E lectric is how I would describe this feeling. I think you rely too much on technology, I wonder if you have feelings. Maybe that's why you run. 

D id you not learn how to express your feelings for another person? do you love yourself? I do. Show me. Your move, chicken shit. 


T amper, someone is tampering with this connection. I was having trouble with my 5G/5D signal, better reception by you, and more to do. 

O bscure, that would be something that we both can agree on. Why were you always trying to be in competition with me? I supported, and loved you. It wasn’t mutual. 


T angible, I wish that was how things were. We seem to always be up in the clouds. I like the sky, it's pretty here. I look up every day. You should, too. 

A bandoned, that's how I feel, and I have every right to be- you took all my stuff, broke my trust, and split. How does that look? Not so good. 

L acerated, you fucking cut through people like I do. I should keep an eye on that one. I’ll address that on Tuesday in therapy. 

K illjoy? No that wasn’t me. I did nothing but love and support you, I still do, I am just not going to tell you that to your face. Nice subtlety, how's your sobriety? I thought I saw you stumble out the door the other night. Guess you still need to get your mind right.
