ONE:
i miss the
way your
body sinks
into my
mattress
marking your
beauty finitely
TWO:
and I also
miss how
your tired
kisses came
with soft
promises of
forever
THREE:
i wonder
about who
stains your
cheeks now
with red
praise and
scarlet i love yous
THREE&aHALF:
she would
never love you
as much as
i do
FOUR:
and i miss
you so much
i fall asleep
to the monotone
of myself
counting the days
of how long it has
been since
your departure
FIVE:
and to pass
my time
i count the
times you
told me you
loved me
with absent
ghost eyes
SIX:
i'm trying
to live with
the ribs you
broke and
the air
you left
SIX&aHALF:
but how can
i go on
with the bones
you left me?
SEVEN:
i'll keep trying
but it's hard
when my
memories
of you litter
my head like
the dust in
my attic
EIGHT:
and how can i
go on when
you emptied me
and left me
wondering why?
NINE:
i have
watched you
leave over
and over
and my zenith
sadness is
quite enough
to make
a collapsing
supernova feel
shame
TEN:
and sometimes
I blame
love itself for
handing me
right into
your hands
ELEVEN:
but when
it's darkest
please know
that my
moon still
chases after you
ELEVEN&aHALF:
and that
i don't
hate love
for giving
you
MIDNIGHT:
i hate love
for residing
in my heart
infinitely when
it knew you
weren't staying
forever
