roses in the wintertime ✓

karma

i made you crave me
i made you chase me.

i would disappear out of nowhere
and you would wonder for hours
why i left without notice.
you would stay up at night waiting for me to tell you i loved you.

you did the same to me.

but i did not recognise
it as a game.
i recognised it
as a loss of love.

so now we stand here.

my spine presses
into the wall,
my feet point
towards you
and your beating heart

my lips are open
and your ears
are listening

but no noise surfaces
