The cigarette smoke filters the sunlight Creating a misty yellow haze that dries my eyes turning them red and sore in the morning glare I wipe the tears staining her high cheekbones and kiss her forehead pulling her face to mine and feeling her wet cheeks on my hard Stubbly jaw My heart beats harder in my chest as I fight to breathe and say the words she doesn’t want to hear and I never want to say I look away into the smoke at the pictures on the wall of the small hotel room and I open my mouth to tell her Goodbye… Never be a carbon copy of anybody...make your own impressions. - ANON. |

My heart beats harder in my chest as I fight to breathe and say the words she doesn’t want to hear and I never want to say Intense and poignant, yes. Love, Margherita |

CMGrimm, Why are “Creating”, “Stubbly”, and “Goodbye” capitalized? Bobby |
