nonexistent spark.

it started out as a small spark.

our spark was different from all of the others.

our spark didn't fly

like all the others.

&  our spark

never grew

into a giant fire

like all the others.

& as soon as i realized who you really were

i dumped a bucket of water on it.

that small

meaningless

spark.

it's gone.

& now,

now that spark is nonexistent.

it's gone forever.

and i'm glad.

we are not different than robots.

robots are different than us.

we made them.

we made them different than us.

they don't have minds

or hearts

like mine & yours.

but my mind

& my heart

is different than yours.

because they are different 

than us,

& we are different 

than each other.

you used to give me smiles & butterflies.

now you give me goosebumps, & not the good kind.
