thirteen

13 wishes washed ashore,
Our strings broke and tore.

12 more deaths at a local bar,
You never seemed quite this far.

11 times you told me to stay,
But I never saw you this way.

10 fingers tearing you apart,
I told you not to fall from the start.

9 ways to kill a mockingjay,
I watched you break day by day.

8 things you never understood,
And a thousand more I wish I could.

7 places to go alone,
Arguments over the phone.

6 gifts you always gave away,
Hearts are not made for display.

5 words to blow your perfect cover,
You were my friend, I was your lover.

4 puzzle pieces forever lost,
You never understood the cost.

3 chances you never knew,
I wish I could tell you "I love you", too.

2 pale bruises on my fingers,
Your poisonous touch lingers.

1 too many goodbyes,
Leave now.
I don't want your lies.

Author Notes: // inspired by billie eilish's song wish you were gay //
