just as you let yourself get the better of you

the eyes in the back of your stale mind look back

a subtle frown draws, and suddenly a certainness

that everything is going to be okay

rests heavy on your chest

Paint me as the sky

See me rise

Send me high

Blurred stars pass by

Shimmering Shooting stars

Are the tears I cry

Enduring the night

I’m Beside

My blue-blind mind

And I

I absolutely adore her

Lavishly love her

Cannot stop craving her taste

And I am Patiently waiting

for my lips to meet hers

so that I can forget about the world

again

Covered
by the warm weight of 3 blankets because she is cold, and I must hold her lightly to keep her warm
Comforted
by the timing of her breath drawing down my neck, and her heart beat keeping the rhythm of the restless world outside my open window
Comply
to each sound I hear which conducts vibrations that remind me I am still alive, and there is a war to be won in my dormant mind
Concerned
by the redundant consideration that I remain vital within a chemical comatose dreamland as her reassuring eyes beam through like an angel, and I remain safeguarded
Concede
to the blackness which is bordering the confines of the slanted wall above my head, and I no longer can remain awake in the corner I am curled into
Unconscious

What were those words that we said
I remember as I close my eyes, and cry in my bed
Like the first time when we lost sight of the world in our eyes
And I could’ve died happily without another word to be said
Now I swear I wouldn’t even know if I was dead
Or the moment we drove north to be free
As my hand found yours, green mountains, for as far as the eye could see
Oh I wish I could be
I wish I could be
But you’re up in the trees
And I’m lost out at sea
Though you lay heavily
On my heart, Dear Gracie
It’s like the moment we touched
Infinite, indescribable, felt beautiful, for a moment I trust
Just for a moment I trust
Do you feel just as such?
Like the light that lit the emptiness of our chests
The same place where your smile, your heart, and mine still rest
I’m falling asleep in this mess
Oh I wish I wish you the best
I love you
I rest
