Tonight.

In the darkness.

In the cold.

I waited for you.

Waited.

Shivering underneath a starless sky.

A moonless night.

My breath silver in the cold.

I waited for you:

Waited.

For someone I knew would never come.

 

Two years of You

After two years of you

After two years of blue eyes

and crooked smiles

and hugs

filled with so much warmth

they made all my sadness melt

away

no matter how cold it was

After two years of you

I wake up alone

a gaping emptiness

and memories that burn.

Inside my chest

my heart is screaming

into blackness
