Run away into her arms

You’ll be safe there

Drowned in expensive perfume

Gluttony, let me eat the envy

12 batches of burnt chocolate chip cookies

 

You colored over my heart

With black sharpies

Those bittersweet memories

Leave me blind

With stained t-shirts

 

I thought you were sincere

But truth and lies mix

In your mouth

Simultaneously

An endless bundle of

tantrums

But my words remain silent

 

Listen

The wind is talking

Every drop of rain

Hitting the pavement tells a

Story of the heavens

That we can never translate

 

Gravity continues to weigh me

Down

My heart hangs

Onto my ankles

 

Is this what you saw?

When you left me in the dark

Jumping at the shadows
