fairy lights and wine
sparkling eyes
your voice echoes around my heart,
not talking.
the ghost of a girl I lost
stirs emotions I denied
and threw into a fire
that never died.
you never loved me.
and each time you left
I counted every breath
that you stole
and you never understood.
I thought you would fade
but you're still imprinted on
my heart
your thick brown hair and sharp smile; a confused silhouette
torn between soft and serrated,
oh but darling
my heart remains untouched in your pocket
and I wonder if you know that it's there.
