Five minutes pass
and a hundred moments
run through my mind.
And when I try to hit fast-forward...
I click the damn rewind.

Shower
Why do I leave the shower
looking so puffy and red?
It’s because all I did
was just stand there…
Replaying all the things
I wish I had said.
Unraveled
Like a loose thread
on your favorite sweater
you unraveled me.
Nonchalantly picking,
pulling, and tugging at me...
Until I was left nothing
but a tangled mess.
Shivers
Whenever I go to somewhere we have been... I get shivers from the memories that stir from within...
Craving
Your rough exterior was so
sharp and sour to me.
Intense and unforgiving.
But as I let you sit on my tongue…
Slowly you melted away into
something so suddenly sweet.
Leaving me with a hunger
and only wanting more.
Shells
I have five shells
that I count one by one…
Found during a time
that can’t be undone.
You picked them by hand
and gave them to me…
In a place I thought
I wanted to be.
Invasive
You grew unnoticed
like a slow growing ivy.
Your deceitful emerald leaves
glimmering a seductive dew.
Consuming all you wanted
with your twisting vines.
Eventually wrapping
your way around me…
Whispering all of the things
that you wanted to do.
Shrapnel
We ignited each other
like pipe bombs.
Our harsh words
sailing into one another
like shrapnel…
And leaving nothing
but ragged scars
and bloodied flesh.
Drunk
You can tell me
what you think
whenever you’re
drunken at night…
Yet you can never
find the right words
when you’re sober
in the daylight.
Pathway
And here I am…
Walking down
this familiar cement sidewalk.
Recognizing the
same forbidden pathway.
Following all
the same cracks in the pavement.
Hoping that
they still somehow lead me back to you…
