Love lasts about seven years. That's how long it takes for the cells of the body to totally replace themselves.

my head is filled with crazy thoughts
to the point i went out and bought
a heavy duty combination lock
to keep it all well guarded

keeping them both out and in
the depths of my loony bin
is this were it all begins
homegrown or imported

does it come in a brown bag
to go orders from out the head
taking home all that is left
for later consumption

as always though the sanity leaks
from my crooked smile, between the teeth
as in and out i can't help but breathe
the thought of around the bend, crazy's coming...

to hold a star
would be a magnificent thing
but where would i hold it?
my arms?
my head?
my tongue?

yes

to hold a star on my tongue
i’d cough up a slew of new constellations
and put them into place
form nebulas
taste the moon- any moon
eat a planet
or a comet
bathe in stardust
sleep on clouds
fly over a supernova

if i could hold a star
