shallow graves in one kiss

this is the hour i waited

                     (waisted)

you never showed (up)

                    intrest was made for

wishing on lightening bugs

mistaking stars

for tears

that washed away

tomorrow

was the perfect way

to spend today

knowing (nothing)

          you were always a liar

never a (pause)

          moment

spent thinking

i wanted to capture truth

but you never (dispensed)

tell me something real

for the first time

              the last time

i wanted to hear you

    breathing

click (clack)

      (click) clack

you type faster

when you cry

                                          "when i write

                                          i am breathing"

didn't you hear me

wispering

a love letter

filled with

       countless stars

i know because  

i counted them all

one

  by

   one

a star for every tear

a tear for every goodbye

how did you catch the truth

i only threw the lie

i liked this poem. it sort of reminds me about how a felt about past exes. to tell you the truth right now i'm in a situation that i'm crying inside. i wrote a poem called
"a night of eternal crying" thats 100% true but i should have called it The Start of Eternal Crying. your poem is just the poem i needed to hear cause this is the type of poem that you can feel.thanx 4 sharing

I am breathing"
