So I Did

We held hands in the dark, and I couldn’t even see you.

What Once Was

If we were to dance,

Music

I took what I wanted. That’s for certain. It was like a flash of lighting you know? I didn’t know what it was until my eyes were burning and I had to think about it.

Hold On To A Moment

I hold on to a moment, far longer than I should, I know. I hold on to a day, or an hour, where you made the world stop, where we were young and beautiful and in love, where we were untouched by our own shortcomings, if only for a moment.

Empty promises and open bottle litter the floor

Because You Let Me

I lost.

Love in the palm of my hand I lost.

Eight Thousand And Seventy Eight Steps For Roses

I smell flowers in the garden.

Zero Point Seven Seconds

There is a

Divide

There has been no great divide here. There have been no swords that have sliced through flesh, nobody has touched anything.

Hide Ground

A pounding in my chest is the thing that I needed.

Beautiful Girl

He said “beautiful girl”

The Box Outside The Window

Outside the window there sits a box. It has never been opened. It has never left the spot by the front porch, even though the weather has come and gone. It is made of a strong material, something that would appear to last the test of time, or maybe it’s something magical, either way, it has not moved since it was placed there by a man in a grey uniform like so many men in grey uniforms do every day.

Grip

If she knew, it was only because the noise in her head had quieted for a moment. 

Fingers Fly

I am in a holed up space barely breathing. My limbs refuse to move and my hands they sit unused on my lap.

Others

A hand is outstretched, it’s morning in the middle of nowhere.

Pull

I pull. In and out of it and wrap myself in the thunder that surrounds it.

Think

They have all forgotten to move or to breathe.

Snow

Loneliness came calling in the dead of night for her.

Put Me Back

If you listen closely you can hear the churning.

Re-Glued

It would seem that we have arrived at an impasse. 

Love Like The Dark

The hardest piece of advice I have ever received goes like this: “Never use anyone else to dilute your own loneliness”.

Love Mom

If you ever bring this up again I’ll deny it, but all right.

Are We

Are we there yet? In the good place?

Without Me

Let us go dancing, and pore over old love letters.

Quiet Hours

They say there is a time in the middle of the night called the magic hour.

Day 61

It has been 60 days.

In

In the darkness we covet
