every touch was a taunt
your hand behind your back
palm up, touching
touching her hand, her back, her hair
i tried to look away but i couldn't help it
i am drawn to you
like a moth to light
like black & white
there is no grey in what i feel for you

foggy concert lights echoed euphoria
dancing alone
dancing with him
in my mind,
we were one in that moment
so far apart, yet so close
a distant day dream
a dream we were at that concert together,
swaying to the melody, grasping on to each word like they meant something
like i meant something
like i could ever mean anything to him

The fog in the lights echoed euphoria
You,
dancing to the beat of the drum in an open space
Me,
wanting to dance within your space
Sway to the melody with your hand in mine
With your hand on my waist,
With your hand in the air
singing along to every word
If I closed my eyes it’s like we were
You,
standing there a few inches away
Me,
wanting so badly to grab your waist,
your hand
and sing along to every word

Growing up your parents always made sure you knew that they loved you. Mom would walk up the stairs and say, “ Goodnight, i love you” and you would respond, “love you more” and a fight about who could possibly love the other more would endure.
These days, I know she loves me, but its not said as much. We don't fight about who says "i love you more" last. She doesn't know me as well as she used to. She doesn't see what I’m going through. She’s blinded by the fact that she "loves me to the moon and back "
and she feels like that should be enough..

I can't remember the exact words you uttered into my ear that night on the phone. All I remember is the feeling i got, i was giddy. I think you said, “my birthday wish is for you to get here now” but i also think maybe you said “yall” and i just hoped you meant me..

I’m scared that I’ll let you down
That I won’t be what you need me to be
I won’t be what you think I am
I’m scared that I could never be fully vulnerable with you, emotionally or intimately
So, I’ll take my cowardly heart and save you from the heartbreak that is bound to come out of this

Love
Love-less- lacking love in both the secular and the divine way
Love- who needs it
Love- who craves it
Love- who poured her heart out on the side of the road
Love- who mustered up the courage to say how she felt
Love- who, despite what her so called friends would think, fell for you
Love- who cries at night just thinking about all the opportunities she had
Love

Wanting you would be a death wish but
I'd cross the river styx and look the devil in the eyes
just to know your every thought...

Maybe I trusted the moon too much. She always made me believe things were gonna be okay. But she spends her whole life chasing the sun, she can’t know what true love means.
