loneliness
used to taste like cough syrup,
coating my throat
in artifice.
now i'm just lovesick
dancing in a sea of lights
they kiss my skin like
tulips/two lips/i'd choose this/new bliss/
our mouths collide like planet & asteroid
blood's rushing through my veins
trying to tell me to sing hallelujah
because i'm finally
just
living
and although
the pain is there
it is fading out of touch
i don't know where to stop
but i'll always
start
with this
