you told me you didn't know how to laugh
so i tried to show you how

by erupting into one of my giggling fits
which you often said were too loud

you told me you'd never been happy
well, not in the true sense of the word

so i gave you something to relate to
which only a few have heard

i don't know it if made you feel better
in hindsight, probably not

but maybe it made me feel better
and honestly, is that so wrong?

you told me you didn't know who you were
so i tried to help you find

the answers you'd been searching for
within the layers of your mind

you told me you'd never been speechless before
my mouth was on your mouth

you told me you didn't know how to love
so this is me showing you how
whatever
Something is drilling between my ribs.
Freedom swings to guilt.

It's almost Kubrickian,
How you slide across the floor,
Polished,
Drifting just above the crux of reality.
Dichotomy of ordinary,
A prototype of moral vasectomy,
Knee length in liquid
Endlessly,
In all her corners.

it's about learning that love doesn't come with an address
rather, a skeleton you hung in the subconscious element of your closet
i'm learning the grey area that resulted in the clash of our existences is something i don't fundamentally need
three days ago i realized its something i don't want
hey i'm still writing to you as if it were my career and i'm learning that
with you, i never had to taste the metallic tone of closure
i just, left. you didn't know
my last "i love you" would be the last and
instead of writing you novels and sobbing in between
every page, i stomped my feelings into bottles and lately i've been busy imagining the emotion that comes along with splitting a fine wine thats festered in my gut for quite some time
maybe i'll share it with my mirror,
sleeping on the floor is becoming much too frequent as is getting drunk off of emotion, only to
wish you were here
