      The memories

      these walls keep,

      I wish they

      could speak.

      So I could relive

      you touching me.

Line drawing of two glasses clinking.

      DRUNK

      I always want

      to make a toast

      before we clink

      our glasses.

      It’s my way

      of getting to tell you

      that I love you.

      A profession of my love

      disguised by a spirit.

      Cheers.

Line drawing of a couple looking at the stars.

      You pointed out the

      Big Dipper to me

      on the balcony

      near the end of summer.

      But I’ll let myself forget

      so you can show me again.

      Just tell me more

      about the stars,

      my love.

      Allow me to lose myself

      in your constellations.

      You let me lay on your clean

      sheets and wrap myself in

      your damp duvet.

      The tumbling washing

      machine mixed with the

      sound of your video games.

      An ordinary day,

      an ordinary moment

      driving home from work,

      with a yellow setting sky

      and the windows

      cracked open.

      I told myself

      that I would never let you be

      the one that got away.

Line drawing of a woman smoking.

      it seems to be our winter,

      so I’ll try to make

      snow angels in your

      cigarette smoke.

      he laid down his pen

      after a few quiet moments.

      and there were no marks

      on the corner of the page,

      where his hand

      had been resting.

      the ink had run dry.

      there was nothing.

      nothing left.

      If you give love and project

      your heart into the world,

      you will receive it in return.

      Maybe not right away,

      but eventually.

      I’m living proof.

      I kept loving.

      I didn’t give up.

      And I finally got it back.

      Don’t give up on what your

      heart tells you.

      Don’t ignore the thoughts

      that keep you up at night.

      How is it possible

      that the moment your

      breath meets mine

      my lungs become so clear,

      it’s as if I had been silently

      suffocating.

      I hope you look at me like

      you do the sky.

      Standing,

      breathless,

      admiring my colors.

      My heart feels heavy today
