I wonder how it feels to be snow white underneath the wishing well, but it’s just me staring back

[I]the stain o

-

the stain on the ottoman

nostalgia bleeding,

the same blood I lost

somewhere in a summer

we forgot.

You left a scene, a scent of tangled

limbs, a rosy disposition,

a lilac colored bruise.

I can picture it all

with one look from your

sunburned eyes.

Your bodega-bought cologne carries

an all too well sensation

I’d describe it

If paradise were human.

you’d be too good,

good enough to float above

all the cracks we mended

over five summers,

two funerals,

and the next one

already happening

inside my heart.

A sapling kept watered

by crocodile tears

It dried

like a white lie.

Charades beneath table sheets,

pretending love from a stranger

was all I would ever need

like it was

the only choice I ever had,

because you never gave me one

that looked like happiness

And when you called me beautiful

I knew.

that was the biggest lie of all.

but I reconsidered my own devices,

and thought

maybe being a fool

is easier

than facing the truth.

so I said it back to myself

nothing.

so I say it back to you

nothing.

so I say it to a stranger

thank you.
