Footprints in the snow
Side by side down the sidewalk
Part at the crosswalk

2024.09.12

Lovely promises
Of our future together
How you liked to tease

I heard you miss me
We have that in common, then
I miss that me, too

I won't recover
When it means forgetting you
I choose to suffer

My coffee is black
No sugar, no milk, bitter
It keeps my heart safe

Blackout curtains hang
Heavy against the sunshine
Of memories gone

Staying up past three
Whispering into the dark
Hollow without you

I'm broken again
The mechanics aren't upset
Just disappointed

Smiling for the sky
Sunkissed and nature embraced
Eyes closed to the world

Rustle of bedsheets
The soft, wet warmth of breathing
Summer together
