Left Behind

ONE.

They say time heals all wounds but when I saw you walk out that door, you took all the clocks with you. Well, you did say that you needed time.

TWO.

You were so good at math that you left tally marks all over my body. Sometimes they bleed for you.

THREE.

Let me remind you that vandalism is a punishable offence and if I didn't love you so much I'd report you to the police for writing your name all over my heart. It was good ink; it stayed more than you did.

FOUR.

This love between us was not perfect. It was a mess. This love between us felt like a video made for Cupid's birthday to embarrass him by displaying the times he hilariously messed up.

FIVE.

Our memories are like a mountain; too heavy to carry. So I'm leaving them behind, in a wooden chest. If you ever find your way back, you can have them. After all, they were as much yours as mine..
