I watch you,
A life that couldn’t be more beautiful.
My hand on yours;
You’ll never leave, I’m sure.
When you’re not looking,
I stare at your beauty;
Something I’ve sealed in a jar,
I can pick the days I want,
And lift it from a shelf.
I’ll stare at it, and admire you.


I could go a day without
your beauty,
I loved you for more
than that. But, my love
won’t ever bring you back.
I just need
you with me, I need
your voice in my ears.
The day you said goodbye, I threw the jar
Away, Shattered like my world.
Your beauty leaked onto the carpet,
And before I could scrub it away,
It soaked and stayed.
