I have empty riverbeds carved into my cheeks.
A dried out landscape from past streams.
I can still taste the salt.

I injected myself with sadness.
It has no way out.
It sleeps in my blood,
creeps around my heart,
whispers to my lungs.
It has turned my body against me,

I’ll miss the breath
in your lungs,
singing in your sleep.
I’m miss the warmth
radiating
from your soft, soft skin.
I’ll miss your lips,
and their secret sorrows.
I am sorry
that I couldn’t bandage
the breaks in your soul.
I am sorry
that I couldn’t heal you.
I am sorry
that I couldn’t heal me.
Will be all,
always,
be this broken?
