youve lost weight

youve lost weight and ive lost touch
with the part of myself that gives a fuck
about what other people think of us

they say we re cute and practically married
but i know they mean practically buried
under headstones of our former separate selves

but now you smile more and i venture outside
even on soggy days and sable nights
when even the stray cats like to hide
