You were a brick through my window,
The pin tumbler deftly undone -
but for all the damage that now shows,
I miss all the messy memories.

I crashed through glass

I unlocked you

and in this mess

made you love me.


The coffee is bought, not made anymore,
I cannot recall the color Green -
there are no dust outlines for picture frames -
although I'm fine, nothing is as it seems

I am your french roast

your seafoam Ivy

combing other shores

and ever surreal

It's every success and every mistake
each new addition that tears down the old -
I've built the scaffolding up to my mind
though I'd only meant to cover my heart.

I was your intentions

paving your way to hell -

I make up the wood beams

that now scaffold your thoughts


And now my eye is a window no more

The lock's been replaced, securing the door

but for all the damage that yet still shows

the missing is the thing that grows
