loving you is a constant ache
a constant shiver
and a constant wake

loving you is as hard as crying in silence
as running forever
as running in water
poets had their head full of love
tho they mistook it for eternal misery

i instead am the antithesis
cause grief won’t act as such

it creeps on you
and covers your view
preventing you from feeling
and leaving you reeling


it’s a feeling in the stomach
that for lone minds like mine
is seen as fleeing wings
rupturing my insides
i miss walking home to you
even tho you were never inside

there was you in the moon
from my window
when i stargazed the sky

there was you in the pages i wrote
with the intention
of getting you out of my nights

there was you in the bedsheets
that held a shivering body
full of “neverminds”

there was you in the keys of my piano
that caught me hum through the cries

i felt you everywhere
cause there was you in my mind.
i dance like a star tonight
so you can hold me with your fantasy
forever with your hands empty

— The End —
