You're not holding me right

your arms don't fit me anymore

I try a smile but my courage fails,

my mouth twisting into tears

I still love you

We used to laugh in champagne kisses

stolen secrets in the middle of the night

but now we avoid gazes lost

and cry ourselves to sleep

And it's over

Messages print into my mind

sepia tone negatives of glazed bright lips

Words you told me, were they lies?

I crush the notes then iron them smooth

You said you loved me.


AN: feeling sorry for myself. -sob-
