i loved you like a car crash. i loved you skidding tires and screeching brakes and shattered glass. i loved you three lanes shut down on the freeway. i loved you cracked palms and cigarette burns and shredded skin. i loved you mouthfuls of smoke and blood and prayers. i loved you holy morning moments and sips of coffee; i loved you dopamine and alprazolam. i loved you sharp and cold and metal. i loved you sweaty sunsets in your car when you read the bruises on my thighs like rorsarch blots and i traced constellations in your scars. i loved you broken because your shards fit so beautifully with mine. i loved you ragged. i loved you desperate. i loved you hurting and wanting and whispering. i used to wake up screaming every time i dreamed of you, but these days i just wake up empty and cold and aching in the spaces your hands used to fill.

missing you and courting relapse are essentially the same
i loved you like a car crash. i loved you skidding tires and screeching brakes and shattered glass. i loved you three lanes shut down on the freeway. i loved you cracked palms and cigarette burns and shredded skin. i loved you mouthfuls of smoke and blood and prayers. i loved you holy morning moments and sips of coffee; i loved you dopamine and alprazolam. i loved you sharp and cold and metal. i loved you sweaty sunsets in your car when you read the bruises on my thighs like rorsarch blots and i traced constellations in your scars. i loved you broken because your shards fit so beautifully with mine. i loved you ragged. i loved you desperate. i loved you hurting and wanting and whispering. i used to wake up screaming every time i dreamed of you, but these days i just wake up empty and cold and aching in the spaces your hands used to fill.
