I used to look for you in everyone
And in every crowd
Relentlessly, quietly...
Now I savengely, frantically run in the opposite direction of anyone with blue eyes or pretty words
Because I don't think I can handle
A ghost of you
Creeping your way back
Underneath my skin

As much as you love to get lost in a good book,
I was the only novel you didn't finish.
Your bookmark is still between my pages...

Tearing love out of someone's chest
Is
When it isn't returned

My body is freezing
And I fear starting a fire
For I may let it consume me

The winters been so long
That I forget things bloom
When spring quietly returns
I've been without love so long
That I don't recognize it
When it quietly returns
And begins to bloom too

I may not be able to read your mind
But I can read your body like Braille

I lost the moon while counting the stars in your eyes.

It seems
That your call
is the only thing
That would dismantle
The anxious bomb
In my chest
That is my heart
And would keep it from exploding
From your silence

We lose our skin every twenty seven days
And it's been over 108 since I shedded your touch

We should have went on that walk
In those shoes you were sure I wouldn't be comfortable walking in
So I could hear your voice cutting the stars and the white air
;stringing thoughts like constellations
So I could take you in like ocean waves
So I could feel your heart beat within my hands
So I could see your stars for eyes behind blinding lenses and in them the reflection of street lights...
But we wrapped up in each others skin instead and forgot the true meaning of letting new love in
