Puddles of rain formed your eyes
from the deepest crack in the sidewalk,
the impurest shade of blue I have ever seen.

Your arms crawling with veins
and I fed the rivers to your beating heart,
even though I knew it ran for someone else.

Your laugh like midnight thunder
crumbling away all the walls I built so high,
in hopes they wouldn't collapse under your touch.

Smiles that shine like lightning           
shocking the inner core of me I try to hide,
I wonder if you can see the way I swallow my breath.
