(yesterday) there was a hollow in my bed, shaped like you and all the stories you used to tell. i don’t know if you were happy but i think i was, then. (today) all that’s left is shards of glass and promises whispered over the blade of a knife and the heat of your skin is imprinted on mine (tomorrow) i’ll take out the trash and strew the pieces of what i have left and blow delicate flowers of lost dreams and cold ashes (after?) it’s supposed to hurt i guess (i know) and the punch line of this joke is [ silence ]
