What do you call a heartbreak
That feels like your heart ain't there anymore...

We used to run barefoot through the yard,
Arms outstretched to the darkened sky...

Do you remember our first date?
That downtown Chinese place...

The word tattooed on my skin
A reminder of how naive I can be...

I am not cut out for this human heart.
It bleeds in colors only visible to me...

Ink drips from my eyes like rain from the sky
As I spill my emotions on this old parchment...

I try not to think about you anymore
But it’s hard to forget how your smile touched...

I used to whisper my wishes to the moon,
Spoke to her as if her craters were your face...

Golden are the flecks in the iris of your eyes
A deep forest green lit with beautiful fireflies...

You were the very glue that held this
family together, our center of gravity...

Green eyes
Darkly rimmed, mixed with molten amber gold...

The only lie I can guiltlessly tell is one where I...
That each day is the straight and narrow...
