I miss you. By which I mean I’m jealous of the soil that gets to hold your bones.
BLAKE AUDENI miss you. By which I mean I’m jealous of the soil that gets to hold your bones.
BLAKE AUDENWe built futures I’ll never get to visit. But I still have to watch them crumble.
BLAKE AUDENYou touch me as though you have forgotten my skin.
BLAKE AUDENEverything I know of love is told in the bruises we left on each other.
BLAKE AUDENIt’s not that I don’t love you. It’s just that I don’t want to.
BLAKE AUDENYou taught me to believe in love and then showed me exactly why I shouldn’t.
BLAKE AUDENMaybe the universe breaks people in different ways so they fit when they are together.
BLAKE AUDENAll I really know is whatever the cost you’re worth it.
BLAKE AUDENHer heart is heavy and ruined with hope.
BLAKE AUDENWhat if love just isn’t enough.
BLAKE AUDENTo survive is to drag yourself from the water and forget what it is to swallow salt.
BLAKE AUDENWhat a fragile, dying thing love turned out to be.
BLAKE AUDENI surround myself with trees in the hope I might become a growing thing, too.
BLAKE AUDENThere’s a weight to it, this missing you.
BLAKE AUDENWhat a gentle curse: to still want you after all we’ve been.
BLAKE AUDENShe smiles and life isn’t as hard as it used to be.
BLAKE AUDEN
