ONE: i miss the way your body sinks into my mattress marking your beauty finitely TWO: and I also miss how your tired kisses came with soft promises of forever THREE: i wonder about who stains your cheeks now with red praise and scarlet i love yous THREE&aHALF: she would never love you as much as i do FOUR: and i miss you so much i fall asleep to the monotone of myself counting the days of how long it has been since your departure FIVE: and to pass my time i count the times you told me you loved me with absent ghost eyes SIX: i'm trying to live with the ribs you broke and the air you left SIX&aHALF: but how can i go on with the bones you left me? SEVEN: i'll keep trying but it's hard when my memories of you litter my head like the dust in my attic EIGHT: and how can i go on when you emptied me and left me wondering why? NINE: i have watched you leave over and over and my zenith sadness is quite enough to make a collapsing supernova feel shame TEN: and sometimes I blame love itself for handing me right into your hands ELEVEN: but when it's darkest please know that my moon still chases after you ELEVEN&aHALF: and that i don't hate love for giving you MIDNIGHT: i hate love for residing in my heart infinitely when it knew you weren't staying forever
