Today was the day you broke my heart

fingers on temples

chest pounding

stomach burning and you took your time

and stood apart

You prepared your nonchalance

I was caught off guard

frozen in the New York beastly spring

rain drops encouraging me to do the same

I wish you would hold me now

just this once

I wish I could make you remember our love

Can’t I convince you against this heart ache?

Just for today, can I be everything that you need?

Everything that you’ve ever wanted?
