I think
That in another universe
We fell in love
With each other first
And it all worked out
To me
That is nothing
If not a small comfort

Here’s to the love poems
That are all about you
That I will never write

And boys dressed in black,
buttoned up and playing pianos
Walk across the tightropes behind my eyes
That form the cobwebs of my hollow mind

The air between my ears fills with music
There is silence underneath—
Still and very sweet
Being drowned by harmonies

And the ground shakes
I sink down into the stars—
Captivated

By boys dressed in black,
Buttoned up and playing pianos

I know that I
Haven’t been sleeping much
And I don’t know why but
This things that’s keeping me up
Even waking me up
You never even notice my
Open eyes and deep sighs
Under the covers, together but alone
