Knowing you would repeat the cycle over and over didn’t stop it from crushing me. I couldn’t love you enough to save you, to save us. When the sky blue in your eyes dulls into slate, I know you’re gone. Once I was your treasure, now I’m just the imperfect heartbreaker thrown in a box. If love had ever been enough, we would have saved each other. The bed feels extra empty. No one is there to dance with me. The air’s heavier. I wanted to hear that one giggle for the rest of my life. Who will wipe my tears? Who will water this Pisces? All my wounds, you know them. We turned into memories. That’s all you left me when you walked out again.
