Her heart
fell to the floor
without a sound
while it shattered
into a million pieces,
but the pain
still pounded
through her ears.

She held stars
that had died
years ago
as if they were
brand new.

Impatience
and
Anxiety's
fingertips
have found
their way
to my
throat,

they pierced
my skin
with Fury
and
made
me bleed
Alone.

We
bleed
forgiveness
like
it
is
the
dust
of
stars.

We dance
in a room
painted black
where stars

dot our eyes,
the smell of
lilacs
touching our lips

once we
intertwine.
Our bodies
are a symphony

weaving together,
every limb
another instrument,
composing

what Beauty
would be defined as.
We are flowers
with thorns and stems

lacing together.
We are lilacs
in the dark,
dancing in

an endless dance
of belief,
beauty,
and belonging.

Let me drug you with my smile
so you'll stay for just a while,
long enough for me to say
everything to this day

that's crossed my mind
since you left behind
the world of freedom
so I would come

to your open arms
where the world is wide
and alone is small,
my smile won't fall

as long as you're there
to catch me,
to build me the moon
with a tool formed by you

this composition only you'll read
with every inch of need
and glory to see
how much you are to me
