For Now

Guitar hums, solemnly come

Slumping over my bed

In the evening mist

I look out to you,

Though you are forever indifferent

Know that I've left some clues for you

If you ever choose

To come back


The most lonely of days

When bodies ache of nothingness

We must hold onto the furniture

Unable to stand with weak legs

And tread back to sleep

Slowly and unwillingly

I'll let the sadness wash over

Like a rusted old bike,

I am left unused


So in my letters I write

Words and words

Without your name,

Because you know I'm scared

To let you find me,

Yet I also wait patiently

For when you do


And I said no don't think

Don't think about you

It's toxic, my mind is toxic

You filthy girl, I said

Don't you know your own greed?

Stay within your boundaries

This dream too sweet

Unreachable by my

Dying hands


Monday already,

I don't wanna go

So today, my will for you

Has faded ever so slightly

Because now I can't waste any thought

Because thinking of you is painful

So, I beg myself to stop,

Stop pushing that old, rusted bike

And let it rest


Light taps, on the drums

Against my sides, my ankles

Curled up in curtains of memories

I let myself forget you

Though time has passed so quickly

Know that I might remember you again

If you ever choose

To come back
