Maybe you're better this way
Can we still be friends?
  Five words.
  Five syllables.
  
  It’s funny how we are more creative when we're dying of pain
  Like the pain can turn to liquid
  Race through our purple veins,
  Drip through our fingertips
  To hit keys,
  To grip a pencil like a throat
  To create masterpieces that will only ever be appreciated by those
  Who grieved.
  
  We will carry our art on our backs
  Tripping over pebbles
  We are dehydrated from love
  We crave and have a hunger for beauty
  We look at freckles and we see stars
  I will never, see freckles the way that they were placed on your pale face
  Your eyes tell too many stories that you'll never explain
  You forced me to drown in a desire for you I did not have
  I did not love you,
  I never did.
  My love will turn to liquid and feed another whose thirst craves the same.
