You tore me apart
brick by brick
I came to realize that
you built a solid wall between us.

You only whisper you love me,
after the sun is down
Your arms around my waist,
tightening throughout the night
Suffocating and exhilarating

In the morning,
the sun shines down at us
My body is tired and starving for air
Through my squinted eyes,
your smile widens

your first taste
makes the aftertaste
worth it

With a thrilling smile and
open arms.
I saw death
straight in the eye
and welcomed it.

her dreams become
a part of her.
she drowned in them
and died in reality.

I thought your love
would save
me
but it
sank
me
further
down instead.

you can't make the stone flatter
just to walk on it better
