Every step I take forward in the abyssal sand
I lose myself farther in your desert
I saw only dry bones and uninhabited land
but in this desolate wasteland you were my hallucination of an oasis
so I wasn't afraid to get lost in you
Chrissy Mar 2019
You blew dust in eyes so I couldn't see what I was doing
the mistakes I was making
you were pulling the strings and my movements correlated
I was following the choreography you scripted
I didn't realise the life I wasn't living
until you let go of those strings and I collapsed
I was the puppet you were puppeteering

It was a matter of time before the bomb was detonated
you stirred something in me
which made me blurt out my feelings for you in a single heartbeat
that's why I found you bewilderingly dangerous
you have unknowingly disarmed the soldier
making me surrender at your feet

every butterfly in my stomach waved a white flag
as you point your affection straight at my heart

vulnerability is a disease I wish not to catch
that is why I shy away from telling you how I feel

your eyes are full of galaxies and i just want to sit and stargaze until i discover every last one.

He strung together the most shimmery stars like constellations
and hung them around my neck
as a reminder that
I will always be the brightest star in his sky
my ubiquity luminous enough to find him when he is lost in the dark

Perhaps I loved you or perhaps I was just desperate, but whatever it was is burried deep inside me now. We both missed our chances, and now our world's are being pulled apart. Maybe only I've noticed, but suddenly the tide grew stronger and I was pulled out to sea. In the future will our islands still connect? Will our bridge have been burned, or will it stand stronger? Looking forward I have but one fear; who will I really have left?  

Love from .....
