chasing stars - poetry

adults

it's been more than
two years
since he and i
last kissed

that means
this makes
three of his birthdays
i've missed

i love someone
else now
and frankly
i'm pissed

i don't
know why
this day's stuck
in my head

an illusion
of significance
upon which
my sadness fed

why can't we
just settle this
like adults
instead?
