to hear the words, “i was scared” fall from your lips was all the closure i thought i needed.
but i have my answers now, and i don’t feel much better. maybe i feel worse.
closure is a ******* hoax.
my mind can’t leave something behind if it doesn’t make sense to me,
and no explanation will ever make this make sense.
there will always be more questions, more questions, more questions…
i’ll live with the weight of it until they become background noise, like the videos i fall asleep to
until i know they’re there but i can’t hear what they’re asking or what it all means anymore.
but the thought that you couldn’t love someone who would have died for you
god, i wish that thought could leave me the way that you did.

on the night i touched you everywhere
i cried on the drive back home
thanking god that i'm not broken after all
you listen to fleetwood's "everywhere"
when you think of falling in love
i listen to it too and imagine you
there are pieces of you everywhere
in my bed, my shower, my soul
reminders of our love forever there
when you left me, i hurt everywhere
an ache i had never known
there is before you but no after you
i still want to be with you,
everywhere.

our ending didn't make sense
but when i think about it,
nothing about us ever did.
i still can't explain the way
your body melted into mine
and how its warmth
made the heaviness in my chest fade
like nothing else could.

if we are trees
our roots are intertwined
cut one down, and the other dies
as long as we live
we'll sway in tandem
arm in arm, limb in limb

i feel her warmth
through wisps of smoke
and rob my lungs
for fear i'll choke
but, god!
i wish to breathe her in.

why look upon the stars
when your eyes hold the same light?
i sail along glistening seas
until i'm lost, out of sight
look for the seventh wonder
through the day and through the night
years pass; i grow weak.
why listen to the sea
when i can hear you speak?
without warning, waves grow violent
shattering me, a deafening shriek
why try to brave the storm
when my heart's been tossed asunder?
it was only when you gazed at her
that i found the seventh wonder.

zeus and eros conspire
but they cannot light love's fire
in the hollows of her heart
enclosed by a work of art
a carefully crafted shroud
that wards off every cloud
noah's eyes glimmer green
at the sight of her machine
rain shies from withering skin
that her sorry soul is hiding in
she watches it relay to the floor
"will i feel if it falls more?"
she's only left alone in thought
as it grants life to all she's not
all the world will change and grow
and unless earth forbids it so
she'll spend eternity in her cover
just watching - no one to love her
