The last night I spoke with you
I was walking to the house
looking up at the night sky and all its wonders
and a single rain drop fell from the clouds
and landed right on the middle of my forehead
Astounded and taken aback
I walked all the way home with my arms outstretched
wanting to feel more of the rain
But I did not
Only that one single kiss from the heavens
And so I walked through the door
Unknowingly so that it would be the last that'd lead me to you
That night you laid out all your jewelry in front of me
And you told me the story behind each piece
The way you laid it all out was so beautiful
and I tried so hard to not cry.
And I didn't.
But I wish I did.

every time I find a strand of your hair
I fall to pieces
every time I think of your laugh
I crumble and wither
every time I see your daughters tossing and turning
I ache
because I know they're looking for you

Maybe it would be better,
if I didn't wake up tomorrow morning
Because then maybe if anything,
I could wake up with you

we are like broken records
you and i
spiraling around and around each other
whispering and declaring
promising and always cherishing
the mantras of our undying love.

my essence and my being
my awakened spirit within my soul
my fire and air
my despair and my desires
the carousal in head
spinning round and round
the pendulum in my mind swaying
back and forth
back
and forth
back
and forth
keeping me in balance
keeping me in place
with you
Which is all I ever want to be

Sometimes you make me quake within my chest
and my hands ball up into fists.
Sometimes you make me bite my lip so hard I bleed
and throw my fists too hard against the wall and bruise.
During those times my heart goes thumpthumthumpthumpthump
while I'm trying so ******* desperately not to scream.
My knuckles become white and my vision becomes blurred
my hands reach up to make them stop...
The dripdripdripping.

You are the sarcastic stain in my words.
You are the scoff in my laugh.
The dragging in my steps and the scar on my side.
I’m restraining myself,
I’m holding it all in.
But I will always be searching for your empty laugh.
And waiting for your restless phone calls.
You will always be the unwelcoming sun,
that casts my darkest of shadows.

Drowsy and disorganized
but your promising eyes
keep me moving through the crowds.

the poem that i promised you
the one i never finished
i wanted it perfect for you
the poem of your love
the poem of our blossoming love
was only of a simple flower
and the big bright burning sun
you used to burn with passion
and i was always warming my petals with your light
i was always in bloom
yearning to embrace you
and you were always there
smiling at me from above
but my sun has left
and my petals have fallen
you are on the other side of the world
and i am still where you left me

I am the northern wind
and you the southern breeze
I am the shriveling desert
You are my oasis
I am the failing flower
You are my sunshine
I am the coward
You are my rock
I am the cliche poem
You are a rough kiss on the lips
I am wanting something I can’t have
Something you won’t give me
I am the northern wind
I am way up
here
You are way down
there
The life in my lungs
The air I breathe
I am here
You are there
Yet you and I
We are everywhere
