You left crumbs in the butter dish
And empty cereal boxes in the cupboard
You left all the lights on
And the bed unmade
You left the ash tray full
And your hair on the floor
Of the shower
You left my tank top hanging over the lamp
Where you threw it
You left your belt on your jeans
When you dropped them
Carelessly
Into the hamper
You left poems
All over my thighs
In Sharpie marker
You left fresh coffee
On my dresser
And kisses
On my forehead
And then you left
Me
Desperately craving all of it
And not knowing how to live
Without it

A secret told between two souls

The stars of our scars on each others hearts

The warmth of a touch so deep so pure

The skip if a beat when you look at me

A disease of our souls

A game of pain when you walk away

The joy deep down when you come back to me

Oh, what is love?
Your head on my chest,
i'm tracing crop circles into your head.
I wonder if you can hear my heart.
You say it's beating
"I love you, I love you, I love you"
That may be true.
But I think it's saying
"don't leave me, don't leave me"
Because everyone always does
and
i'd like for you to stay.
