A lot has changed since we last spoke

People have cried and others have found love

I have stopped breathing since we last spoke;

However you should not worry about my lungs

But you should know that my soul has stopped dancing

My lips could barely move to greet

My arms have become too lazy to hug

But my heart has continued to skip a beat at the thought of you

and my fingers will forever come back to life

like when you held my hand

Never mind that for now, all I care about is that you are doing well.

Between the stars, we shone brighter.

Treading on cloudy carpets with

delicacy, we left footprints heavy with

passion.

Through hell we extinguished each

other’s fire and locked out the demons.

Heaven is what I saw in your eyes,

But my wings have failed me,

And I am now back on earth.

We were on the same page
but you left me in the margin
a mere reference note
soon to be erased.

Please tell me about your life
I don't mean everything in it
I just want to know
what makes your cheeks flush red?
I just want to know
what do you think of
that makes your mouth curve up with satisfaction?
I just want to know
what do you remember that lightens your chest
in times of stress?

Spill out these answers
Carve them with every ounce of passion
onto paper
so i could have imprints of them on my skin
as I hold them close to me.

We have stopped talking.
He left,
and I broke down.

Give me back the breaths
you stole away from me.

Write back all the translucent words
I was too afraid to spill the first time.

Erase the bittersweet memories,
destroy the projections of us
for we are nothing now.

Teach your tongue to behave,
twist it in all ways
except for the curl it makes
when trying to say my name.

The paths we wanted to pave?
Dig up the bricks
you are not the way I want to live my life
we can never make homes out of people.

I want them back
but not you.

Heat up whatever cold I have inside,

Your warmth answers my prayers

and despite my numbness

I can’t deny that you make me feel something special
