I know you will take the last of me and I will love you anyway.
BLAKE AUDENI know you will take the last of me and I will love you anyway.
BLAKE AUDENShe spoke with so much hope, the future dancing on her lips like a flame.
BLAKE AUDENMaybe the universe breaks people in different ways so they fit when they are together.
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 AUDENAnd again I wake up hoping today is the day I don’t miss you.
BLAKE AUDENAnd again my mind runs to you in the way that rivers can’t help but return to the salt.
BLAKE AUDENWhat a gentle curse: to still want you after all we’ve been.
BLAKE AUDENI didn’t believe in forever. But I did believe in you.
BLAKE AUDENSome days, all of it aches with beauty. Others, it all just aches with you.
BLAKE AUDENThere’s a weight to it, this missing you.
BLAKE AUDENShe lost herself, a little, in that darkness but returned with stars beneath her skin.
BLAKE AUDENI knew I loved you before I understood what that meant.
BLAKE AUDENShe smiles and life isn’t as hard as it used to be.
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 AUDENI spent a lifetime building shrine to things that can’t love me back. (music, poetry, you)
BLAKE AUDEN
