in shadows cast
by a broken facade
we once existed
in this old home
stained glass
from hushed secrets
the lies fell one by one
on the ledge
a breath away from freedom
these empty walls
now echo with echos
absorbing words of anger
stale smoke now lingers
through every room
screaming to be heard
but no one there to listen
and somewhere inside
that fragmented place
a part of her is still there
hidden in memories
goodbye
a dance of shadows
the ones of you and I
an intricate ballet
in the depths of night
each step we take
is filled with hesitation
as we move apart
leaving behind little pieces
of what used to be
it’s the silence that follows
that will forever be engraved
into this broken heart
in the heartbeat of memories
where time surrenders
whispers of the past
float on a gentle breath
a tapestry woven
with threads of forgotten days
the past just a symphony
of fragmented melodies
echoing through the corridors
of my mind
and with each day that passes
I’ll remember
you and I this way
a mosaic of moments
stitched together for a lifetime
in the realm
of tender whispers
where silence finds its voice
a dance of you and I
an intimate love song
that replays within our touch
your lips like brushstrokes
upon my delicate canvas
painting hues of desire’s bloom
each touch a stanza of longing
an ode to love’s sweet essence
for in this verse of stolen moments
where time itself doesn’t exist
a kiss becomes a timeless poem
etched in the depths of you and I
I’ve always believed
that on the other side of me
on the other side of this
there has always existed you
it was in those quiet moments
when all I could hear
was the tick-tock of the clock
I could feel the darkness of the night
lying quietly upon my skin
and in these moments
here with you
I feel so infinite
every layer of myself
begins to unravel
naked before you
wearing only my scars
and I am finally seen
finally free
you and I are just
time in a bottle
slowly slipping through
a brief moment
of this boundless space
until we are only
beautiful grains of sand
quietly settled
into the universe
intertwined
of flesh and bone
where we are timelessly
etched together
for all of eternity
long after our bones
have become stardust
and our souls
have become the wind
dancing together
beyond the infinite
it’s you that will always be
the melody
to my favorite song
inside the element
of your existence
I saw everything
in one single moment
that you once were
and
somewhere in between
the space of you and I
is the capacity
of every heartbeat
that my body has held
for you
and even through
this entire universe
this vast space
of our existence
I found you
and I know now
that I was always
meant to love you
within this lifetime
she sits alone on the steps
of her broken home
waiting
and wondering
as if time just stopped
with each car that passed
hopes would rise
and quickly fall again
she lost count of the hours
that went by
and fragments
of that little girl
are still sitting on those steps
waiting
and wondering
sometimes
she can still hear
the cars passing by
and the emptiness that follows
but she knows
that he isn’t coming
he was never coming
