you tried to feed
me stardust
sway and hold me
as we danced
you tried to make a home
out of me
open my shutters
let the light
flood inside
push sheer magenta
curtains aside
you tried to run
your fingers reverently
over my rosewood
you tried to ***** my home
raise it from the island
kiss my lips after broken
storms hold my hands in your own convince me that you replaced my old
broken doors
peeling paint and vinyl siding
you tried to
feed me stardust
sway and hold me
as we danced
you tried to make
a home out of me
but I was really an island
ready to be claimed
by the fire and the sea
