I press my fingers against a blank screen,

once an image of your face

now dissolving in my memory

tears shatter as it hits the floor.

You wrote your name on my palms 

So that I would rmember the feeling of warmth.

You were intangible, but my mind made you materialize.

Opening doos to what we could be,

my imagination was strong,

But impenetrable forcefields

Prevented me from reaching beyond the open door

Taunting that I would never have you

Knowing that I needed you.

To breathe the air you breathed

intertwine my fingers with yours like a vine,

Blossoming beautiful flowers in the spring you sprung

The new life a new beginning

But like the change of seasons,

you went away with the wind

whisking the love you gave to me away from you.

Autumn breeze, cold and unwelcoming 

Like the feelings you left me with

Perplexed and in love with you

You pressed your palms against a cold screen,

with pitiful eyes you stared at me, 

the girl you could never love

passing through her life, the still before the strom,

You wrecked my ideals of love

but never broke my heart,

instead you put it back together.

Every single fragment 

Every groove and jagged edge

You left me to drown in an ocean of emotions

Knowing that I could swim

But I wanted you to save me

You fixed my broken pieces

To leave me whole and incomplete
