light

the mistake was kissing that space on your neck right below your ear, that made you smile and close your eyes slowly.

i could feel the corners of your mouth turn up on the tip of my nose

and it made me think that you desired my love, and that my passion for you was enough to carry us through anything that the dynamics of life threw at us

it makes me feel better now to think that you never wanted me

so that i don't sit and drink my coffee thinking about how my crazy antics drove you away

i remember how you used to use ending our relationship as leverage

cus you knew how much i cared about you.

maybe the sun will shine on me tomorrow

most likely the sun will shine on the sidewalk where you walk

life sometimes works that way

it makes me feel better to write you emails and save them in the drafts folder

the mistake was falling in love with your family dynamics, and the way the light shined on your patio furniture and reflected into your house as the the sun was setting

maybe the sun will shine on me tomorrow and reflect into the house i call home

most likely the light will reflect off a mirror and hurt my eyes

life sometimes works that way
