where are you now
in this great big world
are you leaving flames for footsteps
and burning down this town
can you remember to a time
where our words weren't like daggers and
our hearts weren't coal?

can you live without me so easily
three words so eloquently said
holding the world in their little white hands
"i miss you," i say, with utter defeat
i can feel it from my toes,
all through my body heat.

am i forgotten as swiftly as i came,
like the words you said that took my breath away
under blankets and blood stained sheets,
we spent our nights together, incomplete.

could you stay for a little while longer?
i could really use the extra time.
