[eternalsappho]

a tear slips

up your face 

into your left eye 

and you blink. 

it’s gone

⠀

and i know we both

would go back and undo 

everything

if only we could.

[eternalsappho]

i really thought i was

okay but then i

saw your face

and realised

i was just

distracted

[eternalsappho]

how on earth

is not the right question;

i wasn’t on earth with you

i was in heaven

now i’m back

[eternalsappho]

yesterday,

when the wind carried

the scent of your home

i closed my eyes

and thought;

this is it

this is what happiness feels like

[eternalsappho]

i forgot to say

you looked beautiful today

you always do but

i wish i told you how

i loved your blushes

when i looked at you and

i loved your touches ‘cause

my sides, my cheeks and my

hands still feel them

[eternalsappho]

paint me golden,

let me go

endless summer

turns to snow

[eternalsappho]

her eyes change color in the sun

I notice when she comes closer

softly sighing secrets in my ear

and when she leans back

hand still on my lap

I can’t help but wonder

would you kiss me back?

[eternalsappho]

o flower, my flower

i watered your seeds

i bathed you in sunlight

and pulled all the weeds

but winter came early

and life isn’t fair

you withered too quickly

and left me no air
