Her eyes are like a bowl of cereal:
swirled with sweetness, soft but cold.
She lays in the center of a cobblestone intersection,
as tires bounce like knuckles off of teeth.
And ruby ribbons run from her mouth,
heading down the street that breathes south.
The sky above her stretches like notes from a guitar,
spitting acid rain tunes that'll turn into the pitter patter of a musical monsoon,
washing her body away from my sight and yours,
cleansed from our memories and the city floors.

His permanent scent was a mixture of Clorox and cologne. After 49 weeks, that smell still lingers in the spots I first found it, and I ache for his touch. I long for the aromatic hysterics to overtake me and cling to my sweaters and my hair and for his handprints to be pressed forever into my back and for the emotionless love to act once again as my escape because I've only been pushed further under since we last tragically locked our mouths together.
it smelled like him in my room today
