I wish I could raise the blinds

I’d open them and allow every inch of my skin to feel the sun.
I foolishly think this is what will make me happy

I am punished with a dull cast of sunshine
The pain I’ve been through won’t let me get sun burnt  

Tying my hands together as I continue  to smile and nod

My troubles were
all shades of dark
and goodbye was
odorless

And he walked in
with a handful of incense
with the ease of transparency
in his eyes

I,

Linger in the pain caused by you,
Oppress my uncontrollable feelings,
Value every moment and memory,
Embrace the sensation of seeing you,

You appreciate me unconditionally,
Obsess over every detail about me,
Understand always and support too,

I love you.
