Have you ever sat down and waited for a friendship to end?

you whisper words to me
of sweetness that is so
unrecognizable,
but definitely bearable ♥️

You stepped into my life
And crept into my heart
You made a bed and slept there
As you dreamt, I came apart
Turning inside out I smelled
The embers of a fire
And knew that it was me that
Lay there burning on that pyre

You consume me.

Your lips softly placed
on mine
A gentle opening
allowing our souls to collide

Embracing
our arms lovingly hold
This moment
wishing it to last forever

Your lips
sealed with mine
This moment
wishing it to last forever

all of the possibilities
tied to that hope
floated away
with it

my body
rejects my sadness
hardens me instead

this sadness
grew today

the wringing
the tension

a black hole
reducing me
to nothing

i accepted our reality
already
but
that doesn't make it
any easier
to get through the day

you're not here
we aren't anything
this isn't real
i'm not your problem
