○ poem ●

And should the light shine brighter

than the stars on the river

every night amongst the fog,

I will look at you silently once more.

Crystal caves echoing

only the most purest of feelings

and refracting, shattering, capturing all

the shards of colour and glass.

And should my legs fail to walk

I will gladly put out my heart for you

even though it would mean killing me

to let you know how much I love you.

Christmas lights may shine and glitter

but they also do resemble

the glassy droplets that threaten to spill from my eyes

when I realise how much our love will be impossible.

Sunsets and sunrises everlasting

but I wonder if

my love will be the same

and if your memory of me will be forevermore.

And it was not because of you that I

I learned to play these songs

but it is now because of you that they continue to spill from my hands

onto the keyboard, reminding me of you everytime they do.

And the city skies, they weep and cry

everytime I walk on the streets alone

mind full of thoughts, heart cold from the wind,

soul empty from your absence.

The ink blots and paint marks

everytime I see a portrait, a work of art

they remind me of you

and of your love of creativity - you never stopped.

Somehow I managed to get by

acting platonic

suppressing my heart and my crying feelings

so that you would never notice.

My thoughts scream

they've been asking me

if what I really wanted was for you

to know.

My pen spills a thousand words

in lieu of your leaving

but you never bother to even say

goodbye.

And cracks run up my bones

joints separate and fall apart

and my legs cannot hold me any longer

I collapse to the ground.

You wound me more than any other

even when you never try to

and I'm sure you never intend to

but it's as if my body was so brittle, as porcelain.

I question what else I could do

to make you believe that I loved you

a kiss on the cheek? more than this?

surely more than what I now do.

And everytime you smile

you have no idea how many galaxies you brighten up

far beyond their potential and

mine.

You have the incredible power

to make me and break me

to keep me entranced by you

for ages and ages whence.

I loved how you were bubbly and lively

always laughing

eyes twinkling, so beautiful

more so than the lady Athena.

And your presence inspires me

to spin these words of truth and tell

to let the world know

what you never will.

I love you.
