a farewell to YOU. 2014

you left me sad

even though i told myself you wouldn't

i've still been fooling myself into believing that

none of this can touch me

but it does

i melted into you

and got used to the taste of my words

coming from your mouth

sometimes i think i wished you up

but i should have wished for longer

for the nights to go forever

and the mornings, stretched into eternity

a pot of coffee, fresh on the windowsill

you have a way of making me

completely terrified and completely comfortable

you're a walking paradox

and no matter how long i look

you still surprise me

we're robots, the two of us

only, i'm afraid you're better

because you left me sad

when i told myself you couldn't.
