collision

we’ve been
strapped in
for what

feels like forever

driving
somewhere

anywhere

except
where
we just
were

bumping
    hard
smashing
    loud

going going

going circles
against
what
used to be

what now is

is not
who we were

the last time

i crashed into
you

you said it hurt

no shit
there was glass
everywhere
so

i did
it again
because

well

because it hurt
me
too

and you can’t
be the only
one

who gets hurt who gets
to hurt
around here

besides
you were
in my

way

going going

going circles

to nowhere
to anywhere

but where
you
used to be

better believe
next time i crash
into you

we will be
different

we will be
older

but we will still
be

going going

we will still be

bumper cars

we will still be
hurt
