its right
that it was beautiful on the night you left
our goodbyes never occur when they should
so they never happen at all
we're are ongoing, moving, living
breathing;still
our pulses; checked
blood doesn't flow
and yet you would let it stop
if only we could stay like this forever
your tears drift onto my cheek,
and then they fall to my blanket
this room
will seem so vague
when the leaves change color,
the temperature drops
and i start counting miles
the moon
will wake me
and it'll be the next best thing to you
see
the thruway through my window
at sunrise,dusk,noon
i'll have
smoke filled lungs
high ceilings
accompanied by fancy liquor i'll
never be able to drink
and they're will be titles that i'll never read
but memories
of parks and
swings
will lie next to me when you cannot
moments that made me wish i had chosen differently
to evolve whatever it is i do with you
to evolve what it is i do with you
constantly by my side, by my side
and
snow will line my windowsill
flannel will line my bed
i'm not sleeping
i'm not eating but
i'm breathing,breathing
once i leave here
i'll cry for you
my body will ache
my head will be in two
my hands will be empty
my lungs will be cleaned
by the air of the green mountains
while yours are stained by 14th street
yes,
ghosts will walk my halls
my doors will lock
creaks and feet will wake me
your body will not
trains will run through my mind
they'll be drawn in my books
somehow i'll disguise
my sarcastic, lonely looks,
smoke signals from the thruway
carrier pigeons to you
i'm sending my love
it's the least i can do
