As I walked around on the place
that we've first me, I suddenly realized
what am I really here for?

Maybe this is for my big ego,
and I just wanted you to see me doing fine,
much more better now than when we're
together.

Or maybe I am here because
I'm hoping that seeing you, would
help to fix my broken heart
and also  the damage
that you've
done in me.

But deep inside me, I always knew that
the real reason that I am here, even though
being here gives me so much pain, is that
no matter what you have done,
I will always be in love with
You.

You once told me you liked the way the city
breathes in beats of cold concrete
And since then I've found there's something fragile about our motley body heat
Cold breath and fur coats deep in the forest with the roaches
Burnt earth from the other kids' fires
Comfortable anxiety through wet window panes in the morning and wet hair in the evening
Both of us have fingernails nawed through to the bone
And lips scaled scarred but we still call them home
Hey, we're diamonds down to our human hilt
And we laugh when we realize our teeth are sharper 'cause of it
Pop your joints and join me in the tent we put up half heartedly
With the bags stacked up in the corner like mock artistry
Because we enjoy the grass more than we enjoy the stars -
Comets and planets only appeal to me when all of them are ours
Swirling in the eyes like a mark of what makes me yours
Or painted on your hands in kids acrylic when I'm tired and bored
Blue seeping into your freckles
Like starry night for sorry lovers.
