He's in love
with
cigarettes
backstreet alleys
dark parking lots
and the scars
we hid
from
one another.

I told him

"You need
to find a publisher"

He responded

"Publish me
in your heart,
and I'll be
your best
kept secret
since
childhood trauma"

I still have
those
long stemmed
roses
he sent me
from the other
side
of
the world
hanging in my
walk in robe.

Sometimes
I sit in there
behind
the door
with it closed
pondering all
the have beens
but never weres.

He will always
be
my friend
and theres
much
beauty
in dried
flowers.
