I know who you are
You showed me your scars

i am a speck of dust in the galaxy of your mind
but to me you're astronomical
when i look at you i see stars
can you feel my love
thousands of light years away?

Skeletal fingers naked of leaves
stretching empty promises
into white skies
I take breaths
between the lines of your garbled
I love yous
whispered into the hollow of
my neck and
all I feel
are broken twigs
against an innocent back

Blurred city lights
palms pressing against fogged
window panes
wishing you were here
the hills and
hollows and
hidden valleys
of my body
calling out into an empty
lonely
night

Water scalding scarlet
running burned fingers over
******* and
belly and
thighs
coaxing old singing love from
white railroad tracks etched through
crystal critical
veins
skid marks from the
love you
left me
with

I said goodnight to someone else tonight
Someone who wasn't you
Someone who lives in distant lands I wish I could go to

I said goodnight to someone else tonight
With a wink and that wish
But not a kiss like I'd give you
if you were still on my list

I said goodnight to someone else tonight
Someone who seems to care more than you do
But the whole time I was staring at that polaroid of you
