I still remember 

The blood dripping 

My eyes in a daze 

I can’t think straight 

I remember thinking 

“What the fuck am I doing?” 

Every time you sacrificed 

My soul 

For your pleasure 

I still remember 

How you said you would pull the trigger 

I didn’t believe it

Figured you knew better 

I still remember 

The day before you did it 

You came by my house 

Talking about

being friends forever

But you were my lover

So to me it was bullshit 

Now I see 

It was never about me 

Now I see that your insanity 

Was the inability 

To accept this life’s poetry 

It’s a beautiful tragedy 

Specially for a hopeless romantic 

Who feels more emotion 

Then he knew what to do with 

Tell me what did you do with it? 

What did you put it into? 

Nice little bow ties 

Superficial lies 

Bullshit about pictures, apartments, hot girls and adderall?

I’m sorry I couldn’t fix it 

I’m sorry I didn’t see 

What you needed from me 

I was only 19 

Young enough to think straight 

But not old enough to know better 

I still remember 

The picture 

Posted all over social media 

now where you longed to be 

Far from the reach 

of our closed door society 

Far from the four walls 

That you hated so much 

Far from me

I still remember 

The phone call that morning 

“Hey baby, just seeing if you’re awake yet” 

“Hey handsome! good morning, yeah what’s up?”

“you know I was thinking we should really just be friends “

“Are you fucking kidding me Chris! 

Not again with this shit!

I’m not just your friend! I’m over this!! 

Just leave me alone Chris! 

I don’t ever want to speak to you again!!!” 

I remember running

Running 

Running 

Running out of breath 

Running until my chest 

Felt like it would implode 

Felt like all the world was against me 

I remember 

The sting 

More prominent then it had ever been 

The fire in the water 

That raced down my face 

took me to my knees 

Begging 

Begging me 

Please 

Please 

Not this

I remember loosing composure 

Throwing everything 

Yelling for you to come save me 

I remember the way 

You would set up a romantic space 

With wine and 

Rose peddles 

Music played 

And you would massage me 

oh so gently 

I remember falling 

Falling in love with your smile 

Falling 

Falling in love with your ideas 

Of a better life 

One where 

we didn’t have to think twice 

about whether or not you love me 

I remember..

I remember you 

Chris..

Your blonde hair 

Blue eyes 

Impeccable smile 

Chris?

Are you there? 

I sometimes think I can feel you here 

I know you remember my words 

“i think about you every day, I’ll always love you! Forever and ever!” 

“No you don’t” you said with a grin 

“One day

far far away

once we’ve gone

you’ll see 

See that what I’m telling you 

Is wholeheartedly” 

Chris...

Can you hear me? 

Who knew the truth would come so soon 

I can see the blood 

Drip 

Drip

Drip 

down my legs 

Into the water 

It’s crimson 

Just the way I remember 

You see this 

Is this how you wanted it 

My eyes are hazy 

I’ll see you soon baby

  • Oh my god. So unbelievably powerful and raw. I’ve lost my best friend and my girlfriend both to drug overdoses. I know the pain. Writing helps. But the words you sew together make such warm, but chilling prose. It’s so real and beautiful.
