helpless,
your eyes watered
yet you say you’re fine.
the coldness crippled through your spine
and afraid to fault again,
silence lurked.
you hid your pain with light,
it blinded the darkness
and your sorrows were held high.
my heart aches writing this, but
held so close in your embrace,
still- far apart.
your presence caressed me.
just a breath away,
you slipped from my hands.
i held you like water dripping down my bare hands.
now i’m stuck between these spaces,
these memories,
they were crumpled and thrown away into the bin.
tissues that drenched
and pillows that knew every story.
my legs couldn’t take the weight,
i fell to my knees.
the last petal drops
the moon cries
was i destroying something so beautiful yet bitter?
