themes: memories, nostalgia, heartbreak
whispered confessions that still linger
all these years after we've said goodbye
my memories of you are ten feet under
because i can't bare to let them go
fading remnants are the only proof
that our eyes ever met across the room
i would rather bottle the sahara
than feel the pain of losing you
every piercing glance slipping through
my fingertips can't hold you tight enough
as she kisses the top of your head
i lay alone bitten by the october air
the only thing i can do tonight is
recount the words that you poured out
every letter dusted onto my skin
remembering that you meant it all
