i fell in love with
words and promises instead
of with a person.
and you didn’t keep your promises // a.s.m
i fell in love with
words and promises instead
of with a person.
i miss you.
every minute part of you
is not with me,
i miss you.
All the words I’ve ever wanted to hear come out of your mouth are about her.
i used to dream about you.
now i just drink about you.
my heart hangs
from the ceiling fan; a kite
i never really learned
how to fly.
a bloody carousel
i paid too much
to ride.
an exhibit
to be displayed for the rest
of my life, my remains sit
behind plastic wrap walls
that
leave no handprints,
eternally orbiting
emptiness.
please don’t leave me alone
tonight. there are spiders
in the corners of my mind,
spinning webs that spell out his name
and i’m afraid
if your arms aren’t wrapped
around me i will soon
be wrapped in silk instead.
