I.
a note in your voice
is a song in my head.

II.
you called me the queen of your heart
but you never told me your heart was made of eggshells
and i should tiptoe around it.

III.
the first time you touched me
my heart sped faster than a hummingbird's wings
but it was for all the wrong reasons
(even though you stopped when I said 'when').

IV.
the veins in your neck stand out when you try to hold your anger in
sometimes tears are not enough to glue people back together.

V.
forever vanished with the fickle winter wind
love nestled deep into hibernation with jealous thoughts and angry words.

VI.
i no longer want to breathe you in.
