~Subtle~

I found
that toast
and venting
makes me
feel better

well, that
was interesting
ashes to
ashes, right?
living isn't
about tasks
it's about
living

I think
I'm going to
stop controlling
every moment
because the best ones
sneak up
on you

time falls
back on
me but
I can't
give in
to yesterday
memories
don't die

I promised
I would never leave
and you slowly
melted into
beautiful ice
I long for
the subtle
moments in between

you told
me stories
don't change minds
but stories
are the
only things
that really do
