unbearable ache
can't I just touch your face?
poppies
petals brush against my broken
sternum
please

time makes you forget
but I want to remember
everything
why can't I remember

I really like buttons
and the way
your hair is
swept
in all directions

the way you slowly grab my hands
you say start over
and here we are
finally, at last
you can't speak
you can't say those words out loud
but I hear you screaming to me
it feels like forever
but as you walk away
I scream aloud
those words from my heart and soul
all those words you wrote down
the love of eternity
you tried to say, and I couldn't breathe
I won't lose those words you said to me
as you got up and let me be
that last kiss
as you walked away
there you were
in front of me
and away you go

as the waves crash in
caressing my sin
with the clever words
to make me sleep
live with this secret
the shores make me keep
the rivers wash me clean
only to keep me here
rinsing my lies
from me
just to keep me here
the waters speak
with cold intentions
so I stay careful
not to slip a word
water slips beneath
to carry me away
into a sea of lies

I am the rainbow
I am the ocean
I am your favorite breath to breathe

stale taste
at the bitter edges of my thin tongue
more of a feel
something in the air
dryness
raking in my throat
for every simple gulp
I try to swallow
my pride
