I ended up falling in love with the moon, because it faithfully showed up, night after night.

You leak slowly into my subconscious


Till it’s dripping with the echo of your name


My mind clouds with the sound of your laughter


But this is not a love poem


You made my body into a crime scene


You left invisible burns on my skin


With just your fingerprints
