things that fall

petals,

when the flowers you brought me have withered, and the sun is too strong in my eyes.

tears,

when the pain in my chest gets too heavy to bear, and my heart beats a certain way when i think of you.

snowflakes,

as the dry air makes my lips bleed into the cracks of the words i couldn’t say when you buried your head in my neck.

rain,

as i sit in my window, the woollen grey clouds as dark as the deliquescent threads in my head.

stars,

when all i wish for is to feel your breath against my face. you sigh and i trace my thumb over your brow.

tides,

because the moon is drifting away from the earth as you are from me.

eyelids,

because my eyes are paper thin from the fever on my forehead. it’s too warm and i’m drenched in sweat. it burns to touch them.

time,

because love becomes infinitely heavier when it has nowhere to go.

shadows,

of two lovers slow dancing in a burning room.

leaves,

as you tread over the maple hope that we would last; crushing them under your feet and over my chest.

the sun,

in my sky, colourless without your palette. i’m begging you to stay. you’re crying now. you rub your nose against mine and i don’t want to live beyond this moment.

and i, for you.

i fall for you. like everything that falls.
