    I wanted you to


    stay / on that day when we had no summer rains


    and the night was perfect on that balcony seat


    you stared / into my eyes


    the stars were so bright I almost saw my soul


    devoured / by your gentle touch on a couchThis story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    morning past three I jumped / into arms so soft


    everything / right was falling


    apart / like two lovers holding pieces


    unshakable remains of dust spilled across


    mountains / who used to be a singular heart beating


    in a world so new / old things don’t matter anymore


    as you wander / alone


    without her / I wonder if you sometimes think of hands twined together


    tomorrow / is a fool to believe we could have been


    better / is a story I like to tell myself


    when no one’s around / to see the blood and peppermint


    in socks I slip into as I go out / at midnight in the Winter


    snow is falling on statues we cherished / before


    I told you farewell in silence / words I didn’t need to say


    “stay.”


    you would have left anyway
