Poems from madelineolivia
You brought my eyes
To acid tears and
I thought,
This is the end.
It wasn’t the end but
I couldn’t
See the sky
Until July was over and...
In the dead of night it
Comes to me like
Cold fingers running
Through my hair and
Stroking my brain
With the sharp blades
Of missing you...
Your car moved across the gravel
And the noise was like
Soldiers’ swords in battle-
Like the tears fighting
To slow down so
I could...
You’d think
The things you left behind
That haunt me would be the
Diamonds intertwined
With silver that I tried
To put back in your hands...
Every word you say
I keep with me,
Like that sweatshirt you left
At my house that I keep because
It still smells a little like you.
I am...
