Like the salty breeze
You and your cigarette smoke
Invaded my air
Visions of blue and grey
Sweep my mind blank
I look down to your fingers
Clutching your cross
Teasing god
Along with my thoughts
I whisper your name
Over and over
Like a forgotten rose
I feel your bitter thorns
Bruise my skin
But I let them ***** me again
Hoping that the same breeze that
Brought you to me
Will have the decency to
Let you stay

I dream of you
Mostly when I'm sad
Or alone
For a moment I forget
You're gone
I get caught up
In the moment of
Disbelief
Maybe that's why
I intentionally put
Myself in situations
I can't win
That way
When the sadness
Ensues
I just
Close my eyes and
Dream of you

Your ubiquitous influence
Transcended my presence
Causing me to lose
Myself
I turn my back for a second
And your words
Haunt me every time
I took to you like a
Fish in a river
You ****** me up
And I was content
Until
My own thoughts began to
Spill over

I look at you
And suddenly
I feel the lump
Of bitterness in
My throat
Swell
And I'm left
Wondering what
Did I do wrong
I gave you
My moon
My stars
All of my
Cosmos and
Galaxies
And just as
I thought you
Would do the
Same
You
*Supernova'd

I didn’t prepare
Myself to stand
Quietly on the
Sidelines of your
Life
I wanted nothing
More than to cheer
You on right by
Your side
But you told me
That you didn’t
Need a fan
So I took the hint
Found a seat
On the cold
Bleachers
And tried my
Hardest
Not to breathe
Heavily in your
Direction

As you count
The number of
Times the sea
Kisses the shore
I count how many
Freckles I will
Have to kiss
Before my lips and
Your cheeks
Become well
Acquainted

I have never been
Too fond of
Waking up
Especially from a
Dream of you
Which has been
Quite Regular
Lately
I have become
Consumed
With a desire
For you
Not lust
No this feeling is
Much more
Pure
Almost natural
It comes as easily
To me as
Counting the
Flower petals
Before I whisper
Quiet questions
I already know
The answers to
