honey
after you were gone, everything started to grow bitter. all i want is
for something to feel sweet again.
chili powder
you brought a variety into life that i've never found elsewhere.
although i loved it- and, in honesty, still do- i've understood life
without it to be bland.
headphones
i hear the sound of your voice in the way people tap their feet and click
their pens like you did. the refrigerator hums songs you used to sing
in the silences you created when you stopped singing them to me
tissues
isn't it funny how you used to be the one who made my tears dry,
and yet now, you're the one who removes the dams my eyes had
finally built?
birthday cards
it is a profound celebration; i've been reborn into someone whose
love can no longer belong to you.
