Although I’m Dust

We held hands and I kissed her 
for a second time, untouched. 
I scribbled a sad word 
onto the side of her face 
which she mistook for a compliment.
  
And then and there,  
outside of her,  
outside of o-me-o-my, 
I took a knife to love’s system of signs. 
 
—Help me cut through this thing, 
this simple little thing. 
She couldn’t do it; 
but my, she sure was pretty.
