"I-"
-
a hesitation
an inhale,
an exhale
one word
and then the silence
-
"Nevermind."

I
miss
you
and
I
don't know what to do anymore

catch your breath
on cherry tree air
and
then
swallow rose bush thorns
bright as a flame
so much
like a
sinking paper boat
inside your eyes,
like seeing you
inhale the brightest sky,
the way you
catch your breath
on cherry tree air,
makes me smile
and
spin sweet words
on spider silk,
beginning
the
whisper
that:
"you are my one and only
because you,
are you."

I'd
perfer it
If you turned
on your heel and
just walked away
And I'm not 'tired'
I don't 'hate you'
I just can't let
you see
me
cry
        I can't             let you see
            when I                   feel like dying
    I need                         the quiet
     To fix up                             my feelings
     To stitch                              up my cuts
       To fix                            my heart
   With clear                       plastic tape
because
...
that's
the only
way I can
ever apear
'happy' So
stand
...
far
away
give me
some space
So maybe, I
won't have
to worry,
about the
tears
...
on
my
face

I'll leave the light on

In the hallway

Just so you know,

That I'm here to stay.
