it was all for you. all of it.

you always said it without saying it.

you knew.

don't leave me here to do this on my own

you're ingrained in me

on a molecular level

Stardust spirit

deep in my veins; rip my heart out.

i don't know how to be anything other than me.

but i don't remember how to be me without you.

crocodile tears

never ending, eternal

the whisper of you clings to me like smoke.

sweet tobacco burning cough

stay with me here

just an eternity longer.
