him.

he’s no longer the one

maybe he never was

but the birds gossiped bout it all

the tears wept in solitude

the illusion of intimacy cracks

when laughter becomes a reckoned memory

i miss him

i really do

wish i could wrap a blanket around me & you

silence the noise creeping up from the air conditioning vents

coz you never liked them,,

you were a sign

one from the above

telling me the truth

reminding me of the possibilities

and am scared am scared am scared

please don’t fall away

please don’t bury yourself

you’re too sacred for that

let me for once caress your face

find the words to grace you w my presence

like a dream that doesn’t make sense

a heart of gold

which i couldn’t hold

i miss your soul
