The sun will beat down on your down casted eyes,
Your shadow will stretch in front of you, begging for separation from what you are becoming.
You will fall in love and he will walk with you on cigarette-covered streets. Tripping on uneven sidewalks and petting stray cats.
He will grow apart from you, like your shadow does when the sun sets.
Later, he will leave and you will be A walking hole with arms and legs, like a hollow tree,
In the park the children play around you but never questions how the hole got there, it is now filled with old, bird’s nests and people’s forgotten garbage, where the others have etched their lover’s name with a promise that is too hard too keep.
You will collect it all much like how his words collected in your mouth, and his shoes smelt up the room.
you will no longer wander with a beating heart.

The sun will beat down on your down casted eyes,
Your shadow will stretch in front of you, begging for separation from what you are becoming.
You will fall in love and he will walk with you on cigarette-covered streets. Tripping on uneven sidewalks and petting stray cats.
He will grow apart from you, like your shadow does when the sun sets.
Later, he will leave and you will be A walking hole with arms and legs, like a hollow tree,
In the park the children play around you but never questions how the hole got there, it is now filled with old, bird’s nests and people’s forgotten garbage, where the others have etched their lover’s name with a promise that is too hard too keep.
You will collect it all much like how his words collected in your mouth, and his shoes smelt up the room.
you will no longer wander with a beating heart.
