All night, I thought about
Calling you on the phone
Because your voice saws me open
And breaks all my bones

Like the May sky,
Pale blue and
Unwavering and
Unraveling me

At least
You scratched my back
Before I watched you leave
Maybe if I scratched yours,
You would have stayed

Drink it in
While the though of his lips
Still makes you drunk

Lover,
You know I
Breathed you
Like the sky

I am the parts of me nobody sees.
I am sleepy eyes
And little words I try to make sense of,
I am trying to make sense of God
I am late nights
I am alone

She sat and held my hands,
Promising she would always be there.
But she wasn't.
No one ever is until they understand the hurt
The stabbing I feel in my chest
The chest that extends beyond the surface he craves
To a heart no bitter friendship could ever mend
