as we fall

mona

you knew even then that maybe
there was something worth saving
and clever you managed to
crush my walls down one by
one
and clever you managed to worm
your way into my heart
we were perfect, we were
beautiful
we got along like perfect halves
and you left your mark
on me;
i will never be the same
the remnants of your kisses still
litter my sharp
shoulder blades
and you still take up my
memories.
oh, mona, if only
i had met you later,
when we weren't young and
blossoming in our
naivety.
if only you had
told me the truth, mona,
back when we were young
and choking in our
naivety.
