loving you
is a little
like bleeding

even the sun
can’t seep into
my pores like
you do
—
burning me
from within

I can't
remember
the way I
saw the world
before I
saw the
light in your
eyes

I read
your words
over and
over
again

Trying to
figure
if
you’ve written
anything
for me

Then I remember
I am not
her

When the
moon hugs your
skin tonight

a little part of
me will ache
for you

it's easy to breathe
for you --
when the sky is a
clear blue,
nothing burns
not even
the spots
you last
touched

you asked
why

I never tell
you that
I miss you
anymore

the truth is I do

but there are
no words that
can do your
absence justice

only my chest
my skin, my
bones, my eyes
my lips know
how I ache for
you

do to me
what
summer does
to flowers

make me
blush and
bloom to
the nature
trapped
beneath
your fingertips
