ever since your mother told you not to talk to strangers, you stopped looking at y o u r s e l f in the mirror but if anyone at all were to ask me about you i'd have to tell them how you love the sun or how you'd whisper in the morning allthough you are a bomb to me you told me once that you swear you had died with me in an attic fire in a past life that hurt even more than this that's when i realized i could scream my name into your mouth, and hear the echo coming from your chest that was the closest i could ever get to your heart i'd sleep next to you as you cuddle with your dreams while nightmares are fended off by the better parts of you the ones that put a pin-sized hole in your heart every time i cried for you, and you couldn't return the favor. every single morning, you'd wake and the nightmare would return it turns out that's what was holding my hand the whole time i memorized the words in your eyes it hurt and i suffered and i bled and i cried but at least i did it now they rush through my veins out of my fingers, through this pen i can't let go of it now
*now when i tell my friends ghost stories i just tell them things you did to me*
