And again I wake up hoping today is the day I don’t miss you.
BLAKE AUDENAnd again I wake up hoping today is the day I don’t miss you.
BLAKE AUDENLove is a child with a gun in her hand.
BLAKE AUDENIt’s not that I don’t love you. It’s just that I don’t want to.
BLAKE AUDENShe smiles and life isn’t as hard as it used to be.
BLAKE AUDENOf course, you don’t know how to love me. I’ve never known how to do that, either.
BLAKE AUDENI know you will take the last of me and I will love you anyway.
BLAKE AUDENPlease don’t let me sleep. I’ll only dream of her.
BLAKE AUDENI cannot lose you quietly. It will take blood and bone to pull you from my chest.
BLAKE AUDENWhat a gentle curse: to still want you after all we’ve been.
BLAKE AUDENSome days survival is all the living I can do.
BLAKE AUDENWhat if love just isn’t enough.
BLAKE AUDENOf all the people I’ve been the man you loved is the only one I miss.
BLAKE AUDENAnd again my mind runs to you in the way that rivers can’t help but return to the salt.
BLAKE AUDENI miss you. By which I mean I’m jealous of the soil that gets to hold your bones.
BLAKE AUDENThe embers of us no longer keep me warm. But they still set fire to everything they touch.
BLAKE AUDENMaybe the universe breaks people in different ways so they fit when they are together.
