just as grapefruits
shrink over time,
your faith in me as faded
and dried.
our bitterness fills the room,
so much so that
my apologies
rot on my tongue
before you can even hear me.

the weak and the gentle
look identical
in the shield of the dark,
but i can tell the difference.
guilt can hide no longer.

haunted by your sweet caresses
of yesterday,
i can't bear to
hold your gaze
if you can only see me
with jaded eyes.

and the belfry empties
as the sound of
my shattering heart
pours out
for all to enjoy.

"and i'll sit and wonder of every love that could have been
if i'd only thought of something charming to say..." -death cab
