Nothing in my life ever lasts
but I need you to
because I didn't even know
what home felt like
until you fell asleep in my arms.
I can see entire galaxies
inside of your eyes
and they're swallowing me whole
but I won't fight it
because you make me feel
like an astronaut.
I want to get lost
in the constellations
that you are made up of.

you can turn off the t.v. and tell
yourself not to look at worldwide
news anymore, but that would
be impossible to do when you have
to do simple things every morning
such as checking the weather,
temperature, or train delays.
and when you look, that's
the first thing you see.

innocent people, who
once knew nothing about these
blood-thirsty killers
as opposed to peace-loving killers,
who had big dreams
framed with success. since when did
big dreams turn into nightmares
where people can't be brought back from alive?

what if i had the same dream as
those innocent people? what if
i want to travel freely and roam the
world, writing poetry and news to bring
back and tell others about my
experiences? what if
these killers ruined my dream and
a million other dreams and
turned them into nightmares?
what would happen?

Last night
I fell asleep
imagining my arms
wrapped around you,
thinking of how sweet
your sleepy kisses
would taste.
Last night
was the first night
in over three weeks
that I slept soundly.
