I am a wave crashing
in the dead of night when
nobody sees the impact
nobody feels the spray
nobody hears the clap of thunder.
I am a crumpled notebook paper
filled with unfinished verses
whispering that I’m sorry
whispering that I love you
whispering the words i’ve been aching to hear.
I am every star in the universe
burning my very image
into the empty night sky
into the backs of your eyelids
into every abyss you can name.
