Kyla
The first day we met, I remember
The first time we talked, I remember
The glint in your eyes that day, I remember
I remember

Wrap you
Kiss you
Hold you
That's all I've ever wanted

You're my sun in the rain
You're my light in the dark
You're exactly what I need

You, Somehow,
Made me feel worth it
Yet, Somehow,
Made me feel completely unimportant

If you let me
I'll make you feel wanted
I'll make you happy
I'll take care of you

Like the depths of the blue ocean
Like the shades of sunset
You're as simple, yet breath-taking,
As those

They've been snickering
They've been whispering
About how stupid I am
About how ridiculous I become
But, they don't know anything
Anything, about what we've shared

You're just
As radiant as the sun
As warm as the bonfire
You're worth it
I know, you worth the fight

Help me
Help me to stop this painful waiting
Help me to stop crying every night
Just be here

Will you stay?
Just like me, through this whole year?
Will you care for me?
Just like what I've been doing for you?
The important thing is,
Will you love me?
Just like I love you?

electricity in these aortas
that illumine the thunder storms
of the jazz pianist in my brain
echoing finger taps up
and down the spinal column
triggering solar flares
in the sclera
puffs of thought drip
through these neurons
and seep into my soul
blackening the happenstance
of our existence
walking through the night skies
in my toenails
i can't seem to find you
what
where
who
how
zip
zap
tip
tap
constellations of brain cells
deadened by life
are seen in the pools of
my ear cavities
auratic sniffs of the spirit
leads down the path of
slavery
chained to those words
eternity doesn't care
today, tomorrow, yesterday
one big nebulous
freedom is you
and your senses
but all gone, Mister-Death-
stolen.
eat it while you can.
Lying in a flower patch
Staring at the sky
Wishing you were here with me
But its just me, myself and I
Never had the courage
Was always just too shy
You always looked so pretty
With that sparkle in your eye
I miss you so much
And I let out a sigh
But I just want you to be happy
To you I'll never lie
I had always hoped
That I would be your guy
My phone starts to ring
My ringtones "Pumpkin Pie"
I listen to it ring
Before I pick up and say "Hi"
I turn around just like you said
And almost start to cry
You run to me and give me a hug
You don't want to say goodbye
This place just means so much to you
And its easy to know why
Because without you we're like flowers
We'll all just wilt and die.
Who can I be if not me?
Someone Else

Where would I be if not here?
Somewhere Else

What could I be if not human?
Something Else

When could this be if not now?
Some Time Soon

— The End —
