i dreamt you real last night
(lying next to me all moonlight blue and
bones)
you don’t know
you don’t know
anymore.
you had a girl and a home
and i came in with that sense of
entitlement
you always hated and fucked your shit up
(again)
you took it with a smile
staring at a pile of letters
burned at the edges
lying in bed you kissed me wet
/what’s the deal with your hands these
days?/
i realised you’re glass now
a glass house
paper skin and fading
i’m sorry for all that
i’m sorry for all that
the fishbowl smashed on the floor
and the curtains were singeing embers
clinging
to the hairs on our legs and you said
go.
and i did.
(i’m sorry for all that)
All moonlight blue and bones. Delicious writing, beautiful girl. Your words always echo in my mind for days.
