beautifully unfinished,
we hang up the shimmering night stars
like souvenirs of our years.

the feelings you borrowed.

just your common pawn,

another beautiful disaster
of not knowing
what i am to you.

splintered
untied from a life
splintered over time,
they now share different heartbeats
under the same blankets.

may i hold you
while the sun hits your eyes
and dries your tears?

may my shoulder
be your place
to lose your tears.
