theres melody in my limbs, morning song lining my lips, a groove in my step; seems like every time i take a breath a volcano erupts in my chest,
got my heart in my throat and its exploding -
im ready for the KO, the old one-two, the moment when my sk

and when the sun finally shone you were gone, sneakers pecking the ground as you swiftly fled, leaving behind furious toe-pricks on the road to your bed,
and i forgot how i missed you until your tree branch fingers appeared in my sleeping h

a door slammed shut.1.a door slammed shut.
you smoke too much and say to shut the door more quietly and ask stupid questions like: "why are you the kind of girl who writes poems about falling in love when you never will and purple balloons, and grey skies, and boys like cardigans that never fit right?" and i sigh and ask you if it matters, slide my hand under your shirt and you, you close your eyes and gasp and say "no."
