he told me:
when i think of falling,
i think of comets and
insomnia and midnight
rushes of emotions and
breaking down just to feel
something
again. he told me
when i think of falling,
i think of you.

falling things cannot be

you have always been the most
beautiful in a quiet way, like how
the moon outshines the sun, and you
have dreams like uncut glass,
waiting to be shaped or dropped or
maybe both and
you promise you won't let me
break
but i think, i think that maybe

i already have and you can't
undo the past and there's no point
