They call it a flower
I eat it to live
Broken bones and severed limbs
Painted blood in Jewish homes
How can you live in my uncles house?
I'm drowning in all this love I hoped I'd give you, the love that's over here waiting for you to receive but I can't breathe anymore.

I'm so empty from all the nights you kissed " I love you " into my neck then ripped it off as soon as you got your pants off the floor.

I've been waiting for you to save me from my loneliness when I should've just saved myself from this crucifixion.
I walked into the night, engulfed in moonlight & it was as if the stars knew me better than my mother.
that night, the sky screamed your name and wept more than I did.
Everything is the same
I sleep the same
The sun shines in the window
I sleep the same
The rain on the rooftop
I sleep the same
Silk sheet and a blanket
I sleep the same  
No snoring next to me
I sleep the same
I’m all alone
I sleep the same
It’s just me
I sleep the same
I miss you
I sleep the same.
most nights I want to curl out of my skin and lick it's wounds.
I dreamt of you last night
Like you watched me
I woke up as always
But you didn’t feel like a dream
I hugged you as I recalled
But you didn’t touch me the same
I kissed your dry lips
And stared at the picture
There’s to much to remember between you and I.
when I'm alone I hear the screams of forgotten promises.

— The End —
