I wanted to tell you the truth

that I was

scared

to lose

you,

but you were gone

with the fairies

just like I would be

in the middle

of the day.

it was 3 in the morning;

thinking of old things

getting up for a drink

whoever said it was water

I needed whiskey

it will help

I swear

the burn ran down

as my eyes closed

up against

the pillow

while I watched

your eyelids

twitch

like you had no clue

that I needed you.

put me somewhere in your shelf, i'll stay i promise. [completed]Where stories live. Discover now
