the filament i used.
my voice echoed up the winding stairs,
vacant, left with ghosts of our bodies
once tangled in the fibers of the soiled carpet.
you and i, we ate the love like breakfast on
sundays; drizzled in warmth,
there is nothing but christmas.
lately, i’ve been memorizing your memories.
and one by one, they gather like old cut outs of
newspaper clippings.
i use my breaths to wipe them clean of dust and age,
as if to keep it together,
to keep the harmony alive.
you ask, “have we locked the rainy days away?
oh, are your fingers still numb?”
and i have, and they are.
you are the exit sign inside of me,
the sounds of gunshots echoing inside your head;
the remains of several severed memories.
there is this crippling sound, one that penetrates the
raised goosebumps that are creeping up my skin;
like a disease, like an airborne poison.
and if, as i repent, i am lost -
it’s inside that beckoning light that i surrender;
because i love you, because i love you.
it’s inside that beckoning light that i come alive.
because i love you, because i love you.
