Dedicated to Mary
I’m struggling to form these words
To honour your honour
How can I put my love for you into words?
Blank space and half written lines
Occupy my notebook
Tear stains dot the J’s and loop the Q’s
X’s terrorize the broken phrases
Our actions were connected from the start
Every idiotic moment I had, you were there
Every breakup, hook up, shattered heart
You shot out of this world
On the back of Molly’s crystal
Landed in the atmosphere
Only to return to the dirt
They say the hurt will fade
And I’ll move on
That the tears will stop
And a smile will return
That the mourning will heal
And life will go back to normal
But I’ll never breathe again
