No reason to hope

The tram almost killed a reckless boy today, on his bike
He must have been drunk and I thought you must be drunk somewhere in the world
And you’d never ride yourself into a tram


They say the hearts break
And when X broke mine I swear I heard it break
It was the only time I actually heard the breaking
But what do they call it
when someone hurts you so bad
that your heart ties itself into a  knot and cannot breathe for months on end
And the pain and the pressure they stay with you at all times
There is no healing, just letting go
But it’s bloated and salty and


I cannot breathe without you
But it’s a choice
I chose not to unknot our love
You left and I wrapped myself up into a knot
Like a modern art piece
and waited for you to love me
How
You cannot see the breaking
You didn’t see me when I was right in front of you
So how could you know that I was almost ok
When you punched me all of a sudden in a peruvian restaurant after climbing
You could have been here

But you bailed.

Catfish

I thought we built a love out of words
Just words
They were not lies not half truths either
Just words
How foolish to believe that we could have built a love like this
This crazy quest
To build a love with no physical proof
kept in our hearts.
We disregarded
that when you touch it, it disappears
And all that’s left is words

Just words
Returning to the real world
It’s cold, it’s damp, my feet are frozen
I wonder where I’m coming from
Was he there too and is he cold
Was it his world and was it better
It was
A world built out of words
My breath, my smile, the warmth, my voice
For I was real.
Everything else
The world, the wind, his smile, him
made up.
