i'm sorry i've stopped

i've stopped dreaming 
about a version of you 
that admires me when i sleep
and waits for me to wake up 

i've stopped believing you
exist 
that i'll ever be able to share 
my ugly 
without you walking away 

i've stopped thinking that 
i'll never not be a cowboy 
and that you'll never not 
see through that 

i've stopped trying to love myself 
so that you can love me 
shrinking myself 
to be the hole that you crave

my poems are richer when
you're not here
