The embers of us no longer keep me warm. But they still set fire to everything they touch.
BLAKE AUDENThe embers of us no longer keep me warm. But they still set fire to everything they touch.
BLAKE AUDENI don’t know how else to say it. I will love you for the rest of my life.
BLAKE AUDENShe smiles and life isn’t as hard as it used to be.
BLAKE AUDENIt’s not that I don’t love you. It’s just that I don’t want to.
BLAKE AUDENYou are more than the things that have hurt you.
BLAKE AUDENI know you will take the last of me and I will love you anyway.
BLAKE AUDENI’m sorry for being this hard to love.
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 AUDENI swear my bones can feel it whenever you speak my name.
BLAKE AUDENWhat a gentle curse: to still want you after all we’ve been.
BLAKE AUDENI knew I loved you before I understood what that meant.
BLAKE AUDENShe spoke with so much hope, the future dancing on her lips like a flame.
BLAKE AUDENI have no idea how I made it this far without you.
BLAKE AUDENEverything I know of love is told in the bruises we left on each other.
BLAKE AUDENMaybe letting go isn’t all that different to loving you.
BLAKE AUDEN
