Snowflakes

I know you
have no memory
I could never stick
like the pictures you loved.
Only I recall,
the night when
the sky was dark purple
and the snowflakes flew
straight to your eyes
magnetized by the beauty
of the poles
I kissed you
because your eyes told me to.
And I breathed my deepest,
deep enough to suck
the life from your lungs.
Your heart through your lips
vacuumed clumsily into me.
Held it in
resuscitating you with winter
wind romance.
Just a lonely couple
of minutes
then it climbed its way out
tugging on veins,
strangling my vitals
scratching inside.
Pulling its mirror
organ out with her,
mimicking the owners.
Still missing.
You don't remember
how hard I held you,
how sweet the air
between our lungs
was passed.
You only remember
the night
and how the snowflakes
left those cute violet
smears around
your eyes.
