Sitting here it
Almost looks like
Summer outside yet
I know it’s
Autumn with chill
Same for love
All is beautiful
On the outside
But inside where
Love lives is
Chilly be wary
The appearance of
Warmth for without
Your own cloak
To ward off
Cold icy hearts
Can cause the
Eventual loss of
Things most important
I don’t know
About you but
For me when
I look at
You I see
Me in someone
Else and as
I turn and
Cock my head
You mirror me
It’s in you
That I see
Myself beautifully blemished
Do you see
What you might
Be or are
We just simply
Together because of
Course who else
Could stare and
Not get absorbed
Into each other
So someone once
Said that his
Word was hypothetical
Does that mean
Fake or blemished
Real or embellished
Let’s see relished
And that’s how
I think you
I do remember
When once you
Were my fall
Once when you
Prompted the harvest
Of emotions feelings
Those subtle notes
That changed me
From shade to
To to something
Else unimaginable a
Thing that what
Once was and
Now is what
Oh an afterthought
That coaster that
Clings to the
Class absorbing the
Humidity of quench
Am I just
A coaster placed
There to erase
That dripping thing
That you are
Or am I
That thing that
Pops your top
Releasing you in
To the world
Absolutely the hardest
Thing in life
Is realizing that
You’re time has
Come that you’re
No longer it
Or that but
Yet perhaps maybe
They will remember
You at 3am
