Shed : Day 54 #100daysofwriting

I gave up
On you
On us
Today
Shed my role
As fool
As lover
Hollow warnings
Ring cold
You said
" You love more"
But look
How easily I turn
Love into surgery
I snip away
Sever
Remove
Throw away
Look how easily
I throw my hands
Into the air
And shed you
Like a skin outgrown
I boil
I steam
I puff away

Hold On Tight : Day 23 #100daysofwriting

We rode
With the wind
Clinging
No extra gloves
My fingers frozen
I held on
I was safe

We rode
To the beach
Laughing
Lying on sand
My skin thawed
I let go
We weren't safe

I loved you
So much that day
But I knew
I knew
It had to end
Still now
I long for that day.
