holes

I didn't know
that someone I didn't know
could smash my heart into
even smaller smitherines.

Three Strings

how many more days til I'm completely unraveled
I wonder
please
I need those braids now.

promise

I see the hint of a twinkle in my eyes
in these may photos where in february
it looked like every shred of happiness
had been vacuumed out of my soul

thank you

I promise I will not go to the photoblind where he carved our initials to surprise me
I promise
not yet

constellate

Love is sometimes an accident.

But I thought
a spider was weaving his web through the stars
and got to ours.

I'm scared that no one will smile at me like you did.

keep me in the cradle

keep me in the crib

rock me if you're able

keep calling me baby

Misery Express

At first I thought there could be beauty in this breakdown
but at some point I ended up in a different passenger car and it's
cramped and cold and the train left the tracks days ago

Don't you remember how your whistling made me cry when I
was a day away across the ocean?

Cursed

This heart is the dog by the door
waiting for its owner
who died
you can try
but there's no way to make it
understand that
he's not coming home anymore.
