Owl
Thinking of you is like twisting my head around like an owl.
Hoping the see the past behind me.
We do not stick together.
Two pieces of a puzzle and I am the missing piece.
But you are already entertwined, you do not realize I am the
Missing Piece.
We both picked up a pen to tell our love for each other
Somehow
I am the only one who ran out of ink.
"I love you", I said.
"You said that already", he replied.
In this instance I think I loved you a little bit less.
Like a broken sink with an eternal drip,
My love rang empty when I called out your name.
Like a broken sink with an eternal drip,
I would sleep with the echo in my head of what could have been.
This morning I fixed my broken heart,
And with it all went
My past love for a memory.
1 : She wasn't expecting you to come over.
2 :  She said no.
1 : You went anyway.
2 : I had something of hers.
1 : In your pocket.
2 : She asked for it back.
1 : It was stuck at the bottom.
2 : Dragging you down.
1 : The guilt…
2 : She could have smiled.
1 : I stole it away.
2 : With a single touch…
1 : The pocket was messy. Filled with heavy regrets.
2 : Do you ever go through them?
1 : No.
2 : Why not?
1 : They would drown me.
2 : Don't you think she…
1 : She what?
2 : Drowned.
1 : Perhaps.
2 : Do you ever think about it?
1 : No.
2 : Why?
1 : Because.
2 : Of course. Because.
"Someone punctured your skin five years ago, and you are still bleeding."

"I tried to cover the wound with words, with tears, with time, with my own two hands… nothing was ever enough."
Someone once said I had a good heart. But my heart is dark like heavy poison. If my heart were a planet, it would be a sad planet with no sunsets to look at. No stars to count. My heart is a black hole I have grown tired of looking at. Tired of being faced with emptiness and sorrow, a past I had no control over, drowing memories into a pit of cold tears. My heart is made of nightmares. Monsters hiding in corners, hoping to get a little light to shine. Pain and shadows clogging my throat until I can no longer breathe. Day in and day out, I suffocate.
