Before
When concrete sweet lips
Put me to sleep

Fragmented
Fragile
Moments of happiness that
Slip through my outstretched fingers
To fall between the ocean waves
Splashing into the depths of your dark hair

Even now I could say your name
So easily it could slip from my lips
A precious thing

Forget it

Forget
The shadow you throw
Sketched out in front of the sunset

Your voice
I could write each
Silly
Common
Useless word on my skin

The cloluds are cut from construction paper
Orange red and yellow
The sun is falling to the sound of your laughter
Each breath I watch
The rise and fall

The smell of your perfume
Skin
Fingers
eyes
eyes
eyes
eyes
eyes
eyes
green as ivy
Stitch by stitch
Sew the seams
Of a heart
Once broken
