i should just be happy


why does there 
seem to be
nothing here anymore

i remember 
we smelt the strength
of shorepines 
by the riverbed 
but all we cared about 
was the way the cigarette 
looked
behind my back
while i kissed you

and shit

what about all
the ghosts we thought up
with eyes that told us 
how to live
like a petty crime

the world seems so
much bigger 
now
that you're not mine

and i'm scared
it's gonna keep spreading out
and i'm scared
of myself without your tears in my hands

tonight i was so fucking mad
i could barely say goodbye
and i thought it was strange how

you still laughed
and your mouth overflowed
with butterflies
