we exist
simply together
in pockets of happiness I keep in my coat
our love like fireworks
sudden, beautiful, fleeting
but
these colors wont last I know
my fear warp into a quilt that rests on our bed
an eyelash on your cheek
hair down the shower sink
the world doesn't stop just because I hold mine in my hands
im losing seconds of you to myself and im
JEALOUS
holding tight to something that isn't gone yet
holding tighter and never letting go

when do you stop saying "I wonder what he would think of this"

the clouds weep with me

for a long moment
nobody said a word
the Dissonance crept in like ice
under the nails, under the skin
mouths frozen shut
silence again

and it lingered

the scent of a cigarette
chill of the air
the disturbance of something constant

for a long moment
we touched
for a long moment, we just touched
and everything was okay again

everybody knows, everybody knows, everybody knows

time doesn't stop, it only seems to slow

so it goes
so it goes
so it goes
