calculated

predicting your next move

one wrong step

and everything falls apart

mistakes cannot be afforded

discerning eyes lock with yours

silence so loud it’s deafening

“i love you”

she never saw him coming

naive

she fell deeper and deeper in love

plastic promises never made to last

make another, pray he means it this time

kindle this feeling of hope lost

flames licking the house we once called home

devouring everything we loved

there’s nothing you couldn’t do

devotion of the highest degree

i worship you on my knees

please, don’t tatter your image

please, don’t break me again

i’m always on the ice

precarious cracks form

i can’t afford to fail

another perfect step

but it’s never enough

i’m never enough

what we could’ve had

wedding bells

heard through church windows

a life of love and laughter

slipping through my fingers

goodbye

my muse

when it comes to you

promises are void

and oaths are abolished

i don’t know why i believed you

when you said you were getting me something

because this is exactly

what i expected

die hard

i see your box cutter

and your back as you walk away

we’ve formed a routine

you and i

i’m seven lines deep

a dreary haze clouds my vision

the world stops spinning

and for a moment

when i look into your eyes

resting a little too long on her body

the way she moves

so effortlessly

so unlike me

i don’t know what i can do

to make you see me like that

to stop liking those videos

is warmth

a promise that i’ll be there

on your rainiest days

an oath that won’t falter

even through the roughest of storms

the best i’ve got isn’t a lot

but it’s enough

and the heat was sweltering

we were tossing our cigarettes

into an overflowing ashtray

and i don’t think

i’ve ever loved the smell of smoke more

than when it was on your lips
