old love

May 09, 2016 01:18

Fingertips- ghosts along skin
where you once loved me
is now where I bleed
onto our worn, fraying duvet

that warmth borrowed, stolen
from orange glow of street lights
listlessly glistening off a wet pavement
Where I bought a matchstick from a dead girl.

I could set my soul ablaze with it
But darling, you would still be cold.
