(i) You remind me of flickering streetlights on silent streets//
(ii) There's a different kind of silence when you’re around//
(iii) We're slow dancing.
It's 7:43pm on a friday night,
your favourite song plays on repeat,
on our broken stereo//
There is music in the way you whisper my name.
(iv) The house feels full when you’re around//
(v) I keep changing houses looking for you//
(vi) You left your perfume behind,
it smells of sunshine on dark October nights//
(vii) I miss September.
(viii) I do not know how to grieve//
(ix) The house has never been emptier//
I miss the patterns your shadows drew,
on the floorboards outside our room.
your footsteps reminding me of the song you were//
(x) Sometimes, I wish we could undo months//
(xi) We wouldn’t be in October today,
the sun would shine a lot brighter,
and the silence wouldn’t hold my heart,
its claws choking on every word,
that I can find the courage to utter.
(xii) I miss my words.
(xiii) They’ll never be the same without you//
(xiv) October isn’t home.
You were//
