I take two showers a day now. Mainly because I’ve been sweating bullets and tar. Cleansing lightning and your thick black ink out of my pores. Vintage sweatshirts on the beach and a dining room sky. A pair of haunting eyes going down the drain a little more each time. I keep your silver close. I haven’t forgotten. I feel it cold against the bones in my neck, good memories tears and chills down my spine. Soft kisses and a storm, wisteria tapping on your window. Whispering our secrets to the neighbors. When our bodies melted into one against purple plum thunder. Letting go is like trying to sell a wool sweater in the summer. I’ll always remember loving you no matter the weather.

Lightning Night
I take two showers a day now. Mainly because I’ve been sweating bullets and tar. Cleansing lightning and your thick black ink out of my pores. Vintage sweatshirts on the beach and a dining room sky. A pair of haunting eyes going down the drain a little more each time. I keep your silver close. I haven’t forgotten. I feel it cold against the bones in my neck, good memories tears and chills down my spine. Soft kisses and a storm, wisteria tapping on your window. Whispering our secrets to the neighbors. When our bodies melted into one against purple plum thunder. Letting go is like trying to sell a wool sweater in the summer. I’ll always remember loving you no matter the weather.
