my phone dings

i blink

it rings

i sink

i read

i bleed

i cry

i die.

“i don’t think i’m in love with you anymore”

since when?

why not?

just friends?

but i thought

we were

better together

together

forever?

light as a feather

were the secrets

whispered from

the abyss of

your lips

soft as rain

were the

little kisses that

you left behind

on my cheeks

gentle were the

fingers you used

to stroke my

hair

are you just going to leave this behind?

are you leaving

us

behind?

did i do something wrong?

i was trying to do everything right

with

morning pillow kisses

whispered little wishes

loving hands entwined

but we were running out of time.

you’re the only person i have left

you were my reason for waking up

maybe i’m meant to be alone

lost without a home

i’m glad you loved me though

even if i never knew you’d up and go

i’m sorry.

goodbye.

will you enjoy

knowing that

i cry?

i cry every night,

thinking of how

right

we were

together.

i thought we were

better together.

i thought we’d be

together

forever.

well,

you were my

forever.
