1. I want to know if it’s still okay to want you like I reheat my coffee –
over and over till I finish the last drop
2. Here’s what I know
Some part of me misses
Some part of you
Every
Single
Day
Some days are just louder than others
3. Your memory asked me why today
I answered, because we have two irreconcilable definitions of terrible things
Yours, remembering how many broken pieces you buried inside me
Mine, forgetting
4. I kissed your lips
and you kissed my ripe betrayal
It was beautiful
I was lost
5. I loved the way
you loved me
with the lights on.
6. I think I fell in love with you
The first night you kissed me sober
7. I used to wait for you in empty letters and open mailboxes
Hoping you’d remember
The taste of my lips
As I crave you
8. I’m slowly coming to terms with the fact
That I may never be able to get every piece of you
Out of me.
9. I gave you my shattered love
You returned it
with a piece kept
10. All the left I have is a ghost of the piece you never returned
and the perception of a whole heart
