this was the coldest christmas, since the split

i wish i could hold what we had
in hand, a holiday globe, falling snowflakes
falling for you, falling together, in a whitened world
the clearest skies, onlookers… transfixed eyes,
like β€” how is that?
like β€” how are they?
i don’t know.
i don’t get it.
an unusual image.
yeah, we pushed limits, driven by flurryβ€”
β€” precious passion.

you looked @ me. i looked into you β€”
for approval. (like children do.)

those sweetened β€” soft smells.
i just want you.

in a way, what a lover you were with me.
but in other ways, you contradicted that.
like an angry mum.
like a boring child.
like a darkened day.

i miss shopping for you. getting little gifts.
do you miss this? you probably are doing this
…for many others.

i loved your raw spots.
not because i had to.
not even because you asked me to.
i loved them because they were rawly you.

when you were bawling, crawling, calling for perfection
out of me
i melted, the belting was seen as sweet, sad +…

screams for healing,
your soul was kneeling.
the tears peeling old skin, + scars,
you were my star

where . you . are .
β€” now β€”
is not with me
β€” and i’m not with you β€”
how is that for two
to break away
to fall away
out of that globe
out of that whiter world
into foreign places
tattered traces
memories, erasin’

i just don’t know.
where are you with all of this?
