The broken always find the broken,
and they only break each other a little more.
I found you on a Friday night in January, summer sweat on our skin.
We didn't speak much that night, you just held me close under flashing lights and it was as soon as you kissed me, I knew I'd never be the same again.
Do you remember the night you first told me you loved me?
You'd been away for weeks, and
you came home and pressed me against your body and looked me in the eye, steady and sure.
"I love you"
And we drove up that hill and I kissed you hard and I knew - I wouldn't ever love another more.
I'm sorry I spent three hours crying against your chest last Monday,
I'm sorry I ruined your shirt.
Sometimes,
I wish we'd never met, just so life would be easier for you now.
So there wouldn't be pain flickering in your brown, brown eyes.
I'm sorry I swear too much and drink too much and drink too much and send you text after text.
I try so hard to fix this but I only ruin it more.
I'm sorry I can't leave you alone.
The damaged only love the damaged, and they damage each other a little more.
