i stayed home from school that day
because i was exhausted and lacked sleep
or maybe it was because i didn't really feel like going
it wasn't because i was texting you
all night saying goodbye, or
because i simply didn't feel like i could
continue on living
at least that's what i tell myself
when i hear three knocks on my door and
it's eleven in the morning and i'm
still in my pajamas
it really could have been
because i wanted to sleep in, which is
what i tell to the police officer as he sits down
across from me and asks me if i'm okay
of course, do i not breathe before you?
at least that's what i tell him
in my mind, the same little phrase
i have told myself all the times before
and he looks at me and he does not smile
or look away or crease his eyebrows
and i do not ask for a reaction
or people begging at my feet
we both know what is happening here
we both wish we didn't

under the crescent moon
i tell you that i love you,
a glimpse of your eyes
filled with stardust
you tell me you love me too

i think i've fallen into you
or maybe i have just stopped at a dead end
somewhere in the maze of your eyes
too afraid to find the exit
for i may never be able to return again
(i want to return again)

love me or leave me
which will you choose?
both bring pain
one sooner than the other
but at least you will be my muse

you make me feel blue
not from melancholy,
but from the way you have
become the sun
and i wish to be the skies
that always exist, comforting you
so that you will always have me,
a love that (i hope) you know is true

when you tell me you love me
do you feel it from deep within?
or are these words disposable
the same way in my eyes
i have always been

love always had four letters
until i heard your name
and suddenly it became five

a colour i've never felt before
staining the very fingers i use to
write love letters and tuck
little hairs away
like the oceans of which it shares its hue
it came crashing into me
it came crashing through me
it came crashing past me
and into my heart
where you claimed your place
as quick as the morning dew
leaves after the rising of the sun
and i felt safe like i have
never been
i felt safe in these waves
though i've never known
how to swim
felt safe as the tide overcame
the beatings of my heart
even if it had never been this way before
what is this?
who are you?
what have you done to me?
questions i've asked the moon (but not yet you)
looking for the answers in the creases of your eyes
but maybe you'll save them for another day
a time when you'll know too

# ***i tell the moon about you
when you're all that's left
on my wandering mind
amidst all the rain and
deep waters, somehow
you stay a sweet divine
the stars know your name
they've listened to dreams of
when i wished you were mine
lullabies of the night sky
tell me,
do you hear them sometimes?*** #
