maybe
the burning in your chest
when you see something
that you’re not supposed to see
is the feeling
of a body
trying to fix
a broken heart
by cauterizing the wounds
it’ll still be broken
but at least you won’t
bleed out

I stood next to you
and listened to the lyrics
that always reminded me of you.
I stood next to you
but not with you.
I stood next to you
and felt your warmth
but it wasn’t for me.
I stood next to you
and could smell your skin
but it’s not skin i’ve touched
because you’re not mine
anymore.

When I was young
Someone had told me
Something existed
Called a Universal Clock
Even at the tender age
Of nine
I knew this clock
Wasn’t like the ones
We have on Earth
It wouldn’t be analog or digital
It wouldn’t have two
Or three hands
Counting down the hours
And minutes
And seconds
This clock consist of
Planets and
Suns
Rotating
Spinning
Revolving
Around one another
Forever
Time is mysterious
Sometimes we lost it
Sometimes we take it for granted
But what is time
Time is something that not even
A clock
Or planets
Or suns
Could tell us about

As humans,
We are made of stardust.
Our bones composed of the same materials of the sun.
Our skin cells identical to distant galaxies.
You are no different.
Although you are made up of particles comparable to those light years away,
I have found my home.
Every touch is like the Big Bang,
Making my atoms collide
And galaxies form.
Every kiss is a black hole,
Bringing me in closer,
And distorting time.

I am the moon.
Dark and lonely.
Everyone is resting
Minus a few sad souls.
They stay awake
In their despair
And visit with me.
I am awake
When the silent come to talk.
You are the sun.
Adored and exquisite.
You bring happiness
To those beneath you.
They bathe in your rays
In minuscule portions
And visit with their friends.
You are awake
When humanity is alive.

She was the smell of freshly wet soil.
She was the sound of a thunder clap
She was the taste of sweet tea.
She was my lightning on a summer night.
She excited my neurons
And scattered my thoughts.
She rattled my bones
And left me speechless.

A cedar chest rested
Covered in layers of dust
That have accumulated over the years.
The lock had not been touched in ages
And the floor not stepped upon.
Because some memories shouldn't be remembered
Like the ones stored in the cedar chest.

I want to explore you
And discover your secrets.
What are you hiding
Behind those deep blue eyes.
Are you holding back salty tears
Or dark memories.
I can see the trenches
But not the information they hold.
Give me permission
To study you
And your ocean eyes.

She hid from the world,
Her triggers,
And all her responsibilities.
She hid between the layers of her duvet,
Like she did as a child.
It was her fortress.
It held her in,
And kept her problems out.

Lately,
I’ve been feeling lost.
Hopeless, really.
Words have been locked away in my head,
Screaming at me to let them flow.
But for some reason,
The words don’t come.
They cannot express
All the things I’m feeling,
All the things I wish to say.
No combination of the 26 letters
And millions of words
In the English language
Could convey
My love for you.
