colours around me
fish me up to the light
when i clawed myself
down this deep hole

i feel the sun
i feel the “after you”
i taste the glory
everything
i missed out on

i brea
th
i
brea
l
th

in and out

take my breath that you stole from my lungs
put it back in my rotting stomach
swallowing hard
you sleep
in a nightmare
piled in the
trash out the back

i keep stepping
in the place with no bridge
head up high up so tall
there’s nothing to see beneath

you become tv static
a pedestrian
at the streetlights
a name
recycled

i'm grateful for scraps
just a drop of your sweet love
a taste of honey

Someone once read my words
and told me that I had this ability
to sum up heartbreak so beautifully
I laughed,
shook my head,
and wished I really couldn't.
