Claustrophobic lullabies
collecting in the tear ducts

Her white is transparent of her regrets

In my desperate search for true love;
I lost myself.
This was a huge surprise for me; totally unexpected! Thank you :3

Can you imagine what would happen if we could have everything?
I'm still watching the stars and the moon, waiting for you to breathe.
The days feel like decades, I'm stuck in the moments when you were next to me.
Even if I wasn't the one you were smiling for,
Even if I wasn't the one you were looking for,
I wished at the very least, you were happy.

I glanced at an old polaroid of us,
it belonged on the corner
of my writing desk
months ago

I don’t know how fond memories
are becoming so distant,
how the colors are fading
from warm to dull

like I won’t remember
anything, soon

even red lipstick
leaves a mark on your skin
when you try to wipe it off
and you’re left with
a cherry stain

I'm losing you,
it was nice.. the thought
that you actually could've been mine
I need to get my life together

You’ve found another lover,
That will replace me in your bed.
You’ve found another lover,
That will help take away all your dread.
You’ve found another lover,
That will hold your pieces together each day.
You’ve found another lover,
To help push me farther away.

So hold her tight
And kiss her each night
And tell her all those sweet words.
Don’t let her see
The bleeding need
That you still feel for me.

Whisper such promises,
That captures her heart,
And leave her filled to the brim.
Don’t think of my name
Inside of your brain,
Let this be your fresh start.

You’ve found another lover,
To help you go on.
And all I can do is grin.
Because I have wished for you to heal
And let your life begin.

"I love you,"

I said.

He replied,

"Good night."

That night

I knew

what love was for me

was a dream to him
sad

I begged you - please don't let me go.

My love lies elsewhere, you spoke.
Into the snowy night you drove.
So i sat, stripped down, barriers broken,
Saturated in sadness.

Yet here i am, stronger than before.
Our love a dying ember held closely to my heart.
Until one day i may see you again.

I remember the way
the alcohol
lubricated our words to each other
and she told me those three
poisonous words:
"I love you"
Except she added
my name to the end
to make sure I knew
how important it was.
"You're the only
person I've said that to,"
She told me that night
as we parted ways

The next day she told
me that it didn't count
and that she was being
dramatic
and I remained in place
amongst those
who function better
as shadows,
withering under her
light,
hoping to hear the
meaningless words
again.
