Poems
Feb 2017
I watched
I watched as the rain pooled in the wells of your cheeks,
The shadows fought for dominance between the cracks in your teeth.
I watched as the light left your eyes,
Your wandering soul pulling its way out of them.
I watched as your breath fought to make your chest rise again,
Hammering its way up and down, like a jackhammer on a mission.
I’m sorry that I saw stars in your eyes,
And I fell for you, yet I wasn’t there when the light left.
I’m sorry I saw flowers within your heart,
And I picked a few, but I wasn’t there to pick you up when you fell.
I’m sorry I heard birds sing each time you took a breath,
And I held a few of those birds, but I never let go and you suffocated.
I’m sorry that I fell in love with your smile,
But I got nervous and left to quickly.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry for loving you,
Because regardless of the nights we spent smiling,
I left and you fell apart.
And lastly I’m sorry,
I’m sorry I never told you I was falling apart too
