you

by makala

you were the only boy i let close enough to see the blue beauty mark that’s on my left cheek. you were the only boy i let taste my cherry flavored chapstick that i used to smother all over my lips. (i can't even use it anymore because of you) you were the only boy i let close enough to see the scars that are drawn across my body in places that people could only see if they cared enough to. you were the only boy that told me that there were entire worlds hidden in my eyes, that aphrodite, venus, and achlys were nothing compared to me. and i was so stupid to think that all of these sweet nothings were true. ever since you left it feels like the lilac sky that used to hover over us has turned into a deep purple, green and blue kind of sky that only comes right before a storm starts. ever since you left i haven’t been able to listen to the songs that once were my salvation because when I hear them I can only think of your face. the face that has put me through hell, but that same fucking face that made me feel like I was on top of the world. and even though it’s so fucked up of me to say this, but if you showed up at my door right now saying sorry for making me feel like a black hole that was collapsing in my lungs, for making me feel so numb that the only thing i can feel was my heart beating faster than the first time you held me. i would still open my arms and blossom like a flower for you. you're my weakness.
