Truths at 2am

"i fell in love with the
person i deluded you into."

Reaching

Shoot for the moon
miss and land among the stars.
Aimed for your heart
missed
and never got a chance
to restart.

I don't know what I called it.

I found between your fingertips the unknown.
The dark beauty that bleeds
otherworldly blood.
And as is with war torn lovers
mistaking red for green.
Left us both ruined
but you perhaps more so.

i can see the moon now

i.
the waterways are leading me
to places i was too scared to adventure alone

ii.
one day this heart will heal
with this earth holding me up

iii.
one day all of these poems
will remind me of that empty feeling
of thinking about you.

Reefs

the song in the whirlpool
with coral collarbone
i didn't mean to break you
we weren't made to be alone.

Once all is said and done

Write to me
about the sun.

Even if we're over
and I'm not fine.

I'll live knowing
your sun can still shine.

Incorrect inference

I woke with you on my mind.
(but not on my lips)
I walked with your words.
(but not in your hand)
I slept with your goodbye in my ears.
(but not your good morning in my heart)
