To survive is to drag yourself from the water and forget what it is to swallow salt.
BLAKE AUDENTo survive is to drag yourself from the water and forget what it is to swallow salt.
BLAKE AUDENCan someone tell the birds she’s gone. They’re still singing for her and it’s breaking what’s left of my heart.
BLAKE AUDENMaybe letting go isn’t all that different to loving you.
BLAKE AUDENPlease don’t let me sleep. I’ll only dream of her.
BLAKE AUDENYou touch me as though you have forgotten my skin.
BLAKE AUDENThere are pieces of you in all the things you have loved. This is how we live forever.
BLAKE AUDENI didn’t believe in forever. But I did believe in you.
BLAKE AUDENWhat a fragile, dying thing love turned out to be.
BLAKE AUDENI have never known what happiness really means, but I’m sure it sounds a lot like your name.
BLAKE AUDENWe built futures I’ll never get to visit. But I still have to watch them crumble.
BLAKE AUDENJust because the pain is comfortable doesn’t mean you have to wear it.
BLAKE AUDENI spent a lifetime building shrine to things that can’t love me back. (music, poetry, you)
BLAKE AUDENMaybe I hold onto pain because I don’t know who I am without it.
BLAKE AUDENMaybe the universe breaks people in different ways so they fit when they are together.
BLAKE AUDENWhat a gentle curse: to still want you after all we’ve been.
BLAKE AUDENYou taught me to believe in love and then showed me exactly why I shouldn’t.
