It’s not that I don’t love you. It’s just that I don’t want to.
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 cannot lose you quietly. It will take blood and bone to pull you from my chest.
BLAKE AUDENI have never known what happiness really means, but I’m sure it sounds a lot like your name.
BLAKE AUDENI knew I loved you before I understood what that meant.
BLAKE AUDENYou were an ocean and I never did learn to breathe underwater.
BLAKE AUDENI can’t imagine a universe where she is anything other than a masterpiece.
BLAKE AUDENPlease don’t let me sleep. I’ll only dream of her.
BLAKE AUDENShe lost herself, a little, in that darkness but returned with stars beneath her skin.
BLAKE AUDENI spent a lifetime building shrine to things that can’t love me back. (music, poetry, you)
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 AUDENThese days my bones are shifting, trembled things. I am more earthquake than anything.
BLAKE AUDENThe answer is you. I forget the question.
BLAKE AUDENAll I really know is whatever the cost you’re worth it.
BLAKE AUDENMaybe I hold onto pain because I don’t know who I am without it.
BLAKE AUDENThe embers of us no longer keep me warm. But they still set fire to everything they touch.
BLAKE AUDEN
