Crypto Love
You swear you love me
But it’s the idea of love
Rather than the reality
that I feel from you
Your love is cryptocurrency
I can’t count it
or count on it
I can’t see it
even though
You swear continuously
it exists
if I had some proof
A circle of gold
on my finger
Or a piece of paper
from the courthouse
Some proof of the reality
Of your declared love
I wouldn’t get this
Deep seated panic
Searing though my chest
Waking me up at night
This unrelenting fear
That one day
I will wake up
And you and your love
Will be both be gone
Like a cloud of smoke
A random glitch
in a computer program
An error in coding
Never existing
in the real world
Deleted forever
with a Careless touch
On my heart’s keyboard
