I want to remind someone of the sun,
of light and laughter


I want to remind someone of the weightless feeling just before sleep,
of spinning in circles so fast they get dizzy


I want to remind someone of falling in love,
not just with me,

but with life.

I want to hear the way my names sound
spilling from your lips
warm honey
dripping from your touch

I am nothing more than a collection of what others want me to be

are you in love with them or do they just bring you peace?

go, fool, be useless in your attempt to save yet another from the same demons that  plague your heart. failure is the expectation here, for it is you making such a feeble attempt.

late night drives with you, hand on my thigh as I act the part of dj, playing songs that make us feel nostalgic for a time that has yet to exist.

wait to paint sunsets and galaxies on your skin, in hopes that they'll be even a fraction as beautiful as you.
