Of all the people I’ve been the man you loved is the only one I miss.
BLAKE AUDENOf all the people I’ve been the man you loved is the only one I miss.
BLAKE AUDENEverything I know of love is told in the bruises we left on each other.
BLAKE AUDENI surround myself with trees in the hope I might become a growing thing, too.
BLAKE AUDENHer smile is an open flame and I have a paper heart.
BLAKE AUDENSome days, all of it aches with beauty. Others, it all just aches with you.
BLAKE AUDENJust because the pain is comfortable doesn’t mean you have to wear it.
BLAKE AUDENMaybe I hold onto pain because I don’t know who I am without it.
BLAKE AUDENAnd again I wake up hoping today is the day I don’t miss you.
BLAKE AUDENAll I really know is whatever the cost you’re worth it.
BLAKE AUDENMaybe letting go isn’t all that different to loving you.
BLAKE AUDENI am a child of autumn: At home amongst things that only know of falling.
BLAKE AUDENI know you will take the last of me and I will love you anyway.
BLAKE AUDENWhat a gentle curse: to still want you after all we’ve been.
BLAKE AUDENHer heart is heavy and ruined with hope.
BLAKE AUDENYou are more than the things that have hurt you.
BLAKE AUDENI spent a lifetime building shrine to things that can’t love me back. (music, poetry, you)
BLAKE AUDEN
