he asked her over dinner
"have you ever been in love"

she smiled into the bottom of her empty wine glass
"i have
          and it killed me"

s.s

in a parallel universe
you never broke me
and you still speak of me
with love on your tongue

in a parallel universe
your eyes still drip with desire
begging for me to come closer
rather than never even looking my way

in a parallel universe
you still love me
as much
as i still love you

in a parallel universe
is where my heart lives
and maybe that's why i'm not over you
because in some world i still hold your heart

and in all worlds you still hold mine

she whispered weary words
to the walls
late at night
so they absorbed her broken breaths
storing her somber stories

and my god
your heart would ache
if these walls could speak

s.s

i never wanted this to end

but just as i could not keep the rain from pouring
on a lovely sunny day

i just could not keep you
from walking away

s.s

she built a home for him in her heart

but he moved out and left it empty

so now her insides feel like a ghost town

with a haunting vacancy from lost love

s.s

he had a heart in his hand
that he did not own but it was his
and it was heavy with the weight of a ****** up world
far to difficult for him to carry

so he dropped it
done with all the problems it carried
and she dropped to her knees
unable to breathe

s.s
