(un)requited

o1.

she’s like a sunset
fleetingly beautiful but
feels like forever

o2.

her hair is crushed auburn
leaves in autumn
fall
ing for her
over and over

o3.

sometimes i fall in love with things that i shouldn’t
(like razorblades and pills and sweet numbing apathy)
and the things that i should are the things i can’t have
(like forever sunshine and sunsets and you)
