I wish you could see my heaven and hell.
I dream you could understand it.

She reached out
"Hi, I'm Belle."
She talked first.
She wanted it.

I tried. We talked. We laughed.
We smiled and gasped for air.

"You have a beautiful smile," she whispered.

She has a beautiful everything.

One day.
That's all it took.

One day. One day gone.
Left on read.
Never seen.
"Hello?"
"Are you there?"
"..."

Now I'm here and they're gone.
Inhabitants on my island for a couple days.
Stopped by.
Said hello.
Promised.
Then left.

"Hey, have you seen her?"
"No."
"...Oh. Ok."
I just wanted to rant- I know it's horrible, sorry. I'll write a better one soon.

Tomorrow,
Next week,
Next month,
Next year

They're all the same.

"I'll lose weight tomorrow."
"I'll study tomorrow."
"I'll finish tomorrow."

But tomorrow never comes.
Horrible, I know, but I just wanted to publish something.
We've changed, we're old.
If I had another chance
to taste you I would.
Give me a glance
see me young again
backstairs ******
escapades reaching
stars and breaking
time's limitations
old, fat, forgotten.

Dear Reader,
if you're reading this
it means
I'm dead
as a paper

free

to be etched
with the poem
I tried to write
so many times
when I was me-
-at

Once carved to a window,

With finger, and breath of intimacy,

Comes alive, on a frosty day

Having to eat our own words
should give us food for thought.
