Across a crowded room (poem)

I wanted to sit somewhere else,
even just across from this spot,
so I would have my back turned to you,
instead of a direct view of you across.

I want to turn my back on us,
instead of watching our story play out
in the empty crowded space between us,
in the moments our eyes meet and look away.

I want to forget our history,
our love intertwined with song,
our duet, our musical interludes,
our screams harmonized with hate.

I want to be anywhere else,
instead of here missing you.

-Zero
