It's been two months
Can you believe it?
Two months since
I told you how I felt
And you told me how you

didn't

"I just love being your
Best friend"
Is what you mustered to say.
But how can I be
"Just friends"
With someone whom
I want to pull in close at night
When it gets too cold
With someone whom
I want to wake up before
So I can see your marbled eyes
When I kiss your lips awake

It has been two months
Eight weeks
61 days
1464 hours
87840 minutes
5270400 seconds
And I'm still here
Smashing my fists
In closed bathroom stalls
In the back of cheap bars

maybe the pain in my knuckles will take away the pain in my chest

You managed to crawl
Into every crevice
And shatter every piece of hope I had
Left in me
You are the one who
Broke me
But stayed at my side
To aid me from falling
And cutting my knees

It's been two months
Two months since
I told you how I feel
And you told me how you

*didn't
