The Cracks In Our Stars

I see the cracks in my stars

and yours

and they look no different

from all the mistakes:

your lying and cheating,

all my broken promises.

 

I don’t have a reason

for every day like you do

I’m lost in the passage of seconds,

in every pause before your heartbeat

 

Closet full of wax

skeletons I can’t get rid of

They tend to melt

in the cold of your heart

and shape into the only worry

I've ever had:

what will I do when

the spot beside me is empty

where you used to sleep

and the sheets are cold?
