Shiver

The coldest morning
On the wrong side of June
Sunset shimmer lost
On flowers full bloom
Full bloom
Full bloom

I remember petals, scattered across
The roof where we kissed
The wind on my skin
Still burning. Remembering…

It got harder this week
It’s been harder all year

The walls come back
They break me down
I can’t figure how
To stand
To breathe
To love
To leave

You broke me
The whole way through

The years have passed
And you’ve moved on
But I’m still here

Lost and alone
Tattered in shame
Unable to sleep

What gave you the right?
To take my worth?
My fucking choice?

All I have
And all you took
Will wilt away

October air
October air
