Fall

1905

Your heart filled with hate vacuums the smile off my face. 
It makes a bad day pass slower 
--your backward ideas-- 
stumbling and falling instead of reaching... 
I don't want to. 
I dont want to look at the stars with you 
until you can look at strangers with me 
(and smile instead of smirk) a sneer across your face, 
everything is ugly to you 
and beauty can't exist in anything, in anyone at all...) 
are not here 
your body is a shadow a memory of what used to be 
we can say hello but you're dead to me. 
I don't want to look at the stars with you 
until you can look at strangers with me and smile.
