Aes: A Goodbye Letter:
You left marks on me that formed constellations
Every star is a memory that I cannot forget
Every space between them is a breath I wasn’t fast enough to catch,
A wound on my heart that I couldn’t heal,
Your faded scent on my clothing
You left acid in my lungs,
Poison ivy on my teeth,
You stole my dreams before I could make them
You burned up my future with your serpent tongue
You became the monster hiding under my bed
The anxiety I feel as I walk the streets
The nightmares that I can never escape from
And then
And then
And then
You left
And… I… could… breathe.
