You cross my mind so often
Might as well say you live rent free in my head

A smile so tiny.
A glance so quick.
My heart just skipped a beat.

our lips will never meet
nor our fingers intertwine
and so bless my dreams
for indulging what's not mine

I thought if I could swallow the stars
I’d be as beautiful as the evening sky
I tried one night    with fireflies
They burned my throat
Their legs striking at soft flesh
But my skin did not glow
No moon crawled from my eye sockets
I was left with corpses in my stomach
I soon learned I would only ever be
A cemetery

melting at your touch
a simple hug - our brusque
adieu

and you'll never be too much
for someone who can't get enough
of you
