In the middle of your bedroom
Hand in hand
Nose to nose
I followed your lead
Swept away by the grace
In the steps of your two left feet
Just dancing to the sound
Of our rhythmic hearts’ beat

Now when you’re away
And I feel alone
I find myself dancing
Just dancing on my own.

others pose dreams with unending possibilities
while mine are seemingly limited in numbers
i guess
some infinities just hold less than others

it seems to me that maybe
my entire life I have mistaken
pain for love because truthfully
i don’t know the difference
when those i love are
pushing me to do better  
and laughing as i fall
allowing me to foolishly believe
that love is built with  
bandaids and a wrecking ball
and the pain feels nice sometimes

the sands of time are passing,

and as every grain I have

knowingly yet

wrongfully

given

away

collects at

the bottom of the

hourglass, i begin to wonder

just how much time is left for myself.

if emotions are colors
love is a burning red
sadness the deepest of blues
so i painted seven oceans on fire
and named it after you
Colors are easy. Words are not.

the waves still crash
the tide still pulls me
and when I’m drowning
he still holds me
refusing to let go
whispering the air to my lungs
he breathes

“hope floats”

my demons
they walk with me
so i quicken my steps

but they match my pace
now i am running

and with each purposeful step
in the wrong direction
it’s becoming clear to me

that i am losing
an eternal race
