You were an ocean and I never did learn to breathe underwater.
BLAKE AUDENYou were an ocean and I never did learn to breathe underwater.
BLAKE AUDENI have never known what happiness really means, but I’m sure it sounds a lot like your name.
BLAKE AUDENI know you will take the last of me and I will love you anyway.
BLAKE AUDENYou taught me to believe in love and then showed me exactly why I shouldn’t.
BLAKE AUDENI surround myself with trees in the hope I might become a growing thing, too.
BLAKE AUDENIt was always you who felt like water when my whole body was a flame.
BLAKE AUDENMaybe the universe breaks people in different ways so they fit when they are together.
BLAKE AUDENThere’s a weight to it, this missing you.
BLAKE AUDENHer heart is heavy and ruined with hope.
BLAKE AUDENShe smiles and life isn’t as hard as it used to be.
BLAKE AUDENThe embers of us no longer keep me warm. But they still set fire to everything they touch.
BLAKE AUDENJust because the pain is comfortable doesn’t mean you have to wear it.
BLAKE AUDENI am a child of autumn: At home amongst things that only know of falling.
BLAKE AUDENThere are pieces of you in all the things you have loved. This is how we live forever.
BLAKE AUDENWhat if love just isn’t enough.
BLAKE AUDENMy body has always been a stranger. And it aches in a language I don’t understand.
BLAKE AUDEN
