now is not the time
July 25, 2024
that last summer night i saw you
a star fell from the sky
i ripped up my heart
gave you a half
traded for a half of yours
fitting perfectly with each other
our heartstrings tangled together
knotting too tight to undo
it feels too surreal to explain
you ran to the woods
and i swam to the beach
strings are not long enough for this
the sun held you captive
only you can end the war
your half aches to be reunited
the blood still stains my chest
groping for that beautiful mess
but getting poisoned instead
can we please go back to sleep
we woke up before the alarm rang
