a.
we drive faster at night
so that the world is streaks of light ripping through the darkness
and i press my face against the window
and watch stars die in the sky
[sometimes, i wonder if they're just shutting their eyes
so they don't have to see this mess called 'us'.]
b.
you were lightning in a bottle
bolts striking cracked glass sides trying to escape
and it's my glowinthedark vision
that makes you glitter more brightly when
you finally get blown out
[make a wish
just remember they never come true
or else, i would have just wished for you.]
c.
i've been trying to swallow all the dust rain
that floats in front of sunny windowpanes
since it's all i have left
from before you were gone
[some days, i like to pretend
i'm breathing you in
instead of just choking on the past.]
d.
lately i feel like i'm losing my memories
but only the space between now and when i last saw you
so while i'm busy trying to erase you
it always seems like every yesterday was suitcases by the door
and mumbled 'this-isn't-really-working-anymores'
if time heals all wounds
why are all the clocks ticking backwards
this isn't what i meant when i said forever
[i wonder if hearts have expiration dates
since i want to stop loving you.]
