To the one I broke.
Hallie Bear Jul 2013
So maybe I can't make you love me
And I can't stop the stars from falling into space
But I can take the curve of your torso
Wrapped around mine
And twist it into my blood
As the hallelujah
I need to give myself
Even if your breathing is a lie
Even if you break me with deft words
So I can't make you love me
So I can't
But I'll try
But I'll try
I'm so sad. I'm so sorry.
Inspired by Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me

Maybe you dream of me. 
Maybe you think of me
Maybe you're turned on by me. 
But then again. 
Maybe not

Maybe your eyes dilate. 
Maybe your breath comes hard
Maybe your palms sweat. 
But then again. 
Maybe not 

Maybe your hairs stand on end. 
Maybe you stare
Maybe you tense up. 
But then again. 
Maybe not

Maybe saliva collects thick. 
Maybe you swallow hard
Maybe you stumble on your tongue
But then again. 

Maybe not.

Quiet Night

I'm stealing every star
one by one
if only to blot out the light
that rivals yours

— The End —
