love #1

it was good while it lasted,

like brightness then nothing.


my eyes, tracing the shape of your hand 

until you run away without saying goodbye.

but i guess it's my fault because i was too scared to try.


adopting your fears as my own,

letting you unknowingly control my disposition

until we reach the point of boredom.

because i wish you leaned on me like when we met

but you want what i’m too afraid to do.


you’ll never know i wanted it too.

i learned nothing from you,

only from what you didn’t do.
