• moved my hair away from my neck
• spreading it on the pillow like flowers
• his ribcage is full of flowers too
• there were flowers in his thighs
• the flowers, i ripped out of my heart
• that garden was too, too sweet
• would kiss the purple bruises on his translucent soul
• ***** my mind
• he once touched to ease my aching
• gentleness to the ugliness of me
• wonderful riot in the air
• i would kiss him to stop the swelling
• a humming in my chest
• when he left, he took the splendidness of sun with him
• it’s easier to cry in pain alone
• it sinks into my body
• i slept with your memories
• scarred and tormented
• my baggage still carries your smiles
• old voicemails
• creak of the bed for someone leaving
• a chasm began
• get lost
• because you could only love me sometimes
