WE WERE ALWAYS TOLD TO WISH
UPON THE STARS BUT OUT MY
WINDOW IT'S ONLY DARKNESS SO
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WISH
FOR YOU WHEN ALL I SEE IS
NOTHING

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I DID TO
MAKE YOU STOP LOVING ME. WAS
IT MY CONSTANT NEED FOR
REASSURANCE THAT YOU WANTED
ME AS MUCH AS I WANTED YOU
OR WAS IT THE FACT THAT I CRIED
AND CRIED TO YOU UNTIL I
COULDN'T BREATHE FOR EVERY
REASON POSSIBLE AND YOU
WERE THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT
ME STABLE AND YOU DESTROYED
ME

I CAN'T EVEN GO ONE DAY
WITHOUT SAYING YOUR NAME
AND WONDERING WHAT YOU'RE
DOING AT ANY GIVEN TIME AND IF I
EVER WANDER INTO YOUR
THOUGHTS AT THE SAME MOMENT
YOU WANDER INTO MINE AND OH
MY GOD I NEED YOU **HERE

The fluttering of the butterflies tickle my insides
Every joke, every compliment, every satisfying word
I am in love with the idea of you, the
way your smile meets perfectly with your cheekbones
The way your eyes strike mine in a moment of intimacy
I am in love with your presence,
your smell, and your laugh

Your love is like the fierce wind
I can't see it

But I can feel it

IT'S 2:30 AM AND I'M SCARED TO
FALL ASLEEP KNOWING I'LL WAKE
UP WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE ON
THE PILLOW YOUR HEAD NEVER
MET

there's an envelope with your name
on it
a letter left untouched
by the soft fingers belonging on your
beautiful hands
the same hands that gently touched
my face
wiping off my tears

the same tears that you caused me
frequently
your painful words stabbed me like a knife

now I write to you
confessing my love like a sin
and I'm sorry
but I'm no longer yours and you're no
longer mine
