wishing for you is like

praying for rain
in the Sahara

waiting for Santa
in July

searching for snow
in California

so **** crazy that it just might work

his love was like lightning

bolts of energy surging from the kiss of his lips

incandescent heat of his hand trickling down your spine

and the sense of anticipation waiting for him to strike again

but just like lightning

he never strikes in the same place twice

thank you for seeing art in me

when all i ever saw was a blank canvas

you are the sun
center of my world

i revolve around you

i am eternally yours
but you are seldom mine

get too close
you get burnt

stray too far
you burn out

i am eternally yours
but you are seldom mine

when you were mine
your contagious laugh, quirky smile, even your simple existence
paralyzed me

unable to move
as if I was drifting on a cloud

when you left
the paralysis wore off

how ironic
standing on two feet
I am unable to stand on my own

they say the pen is mightier than the sword

but no matter how many times I write to get through the day

the memories of you still hurt

like a dagger in the heart
