Love failed her
the very first time she thought:
She had found herself in the reflection of another's eyes.
Had found home under the warmth of another's skin.
Had found meaning in words dropped carelessly from (love) drunk lips.
Has found safety in the presence of another.

the things we said
i. you once said that
i looked prettiest at night
until now
i didn’t realise that
maybe
that was just because in the darkness
you didn’t have to see me
ii. you told me i was a star
and you were just the sky
i thought that was romantic
but i wish you’d told me
that you meant
there were a million others
there to outshine me
(and i’d never be the brightest)
iii. you said it was right
this time
you said a lot of things
said we’d reach for the stars
(if only i’d known you meant the fallen kind
then maybe i’d never have placed

she said
i asked her
why she didn't write
any more than
she needed
and
she said it was
too personal
too exploitative
too painful
to line a page
with words
for me.
i asked her why
why she stopped painting
filming our
every moment
and
she said
(whispered, really)
she can't
her hands
too stiff
too old
too sad
to splash color on page
for me.
i asked her
why she doesn't love me
like she used
to.
and
she said
she's
too tired
forever
to answer that question
for me.

it was obsession.
{it was monday}
when i texted you at eight a.m. wondering what you were doing for the day.
i texted you at nine too. oh, and ten.
you didn't reply.
i figured you were busy and left you alone.
it was four in the afternoon when i rang you to see if you were okay.
"i was just worried about you. you weren't replying to my texts!"
you said you were okay and that you had to hang out with your family for the evening.
i hung up and said i'd talk to you online later.
at nine p.m. i wrote to you on facebook.
you said you were just signing off and going bed.
you had to be up early.
i said it was okay and to get some sleep.
i went to bed too
