as we fall

to you, from me

you've found someone
else,
smarter
funnier
better

i still look at the photos
of you two
and think
about what i've lost

and what you've gained
i still think
we could've been
legendary,
say what you want
but we were an
epic love,
a shooting star
across the pitch sky

so i wipe away
the drips at the corners of
my eyelids,
my allergies have been crazy
since you've left,
and drink my coffee black
and hide out under my black
sheets
that you hated because you
always wanted
color
