to me you speak proverbs
and Hymns
and Hallelujahs
If God isn't real, i know there is still a deity in you
a broken deity
a light that lived many lives
a cackling joker
if you may
i cry and listen to simple songs
that remind me
you may have kissed the most beautiful face in the world
and then i cry more because
to have felt true love in this world
just makes you a sucker
and we both fell victim to euphoria
we both fell victim to big thoughts and small gestures
and big smiles hiding small lies
i like to believe nothing is little
but i am sad
i love that you remember calendar dates
because you only keep track of the things that you care about
but you can't put a date
on the day we both let these men deteriorate us
decay is gradual
i love that you value repetition
in clothes, routines, and words
but we lost ourselves in the Nights We Can't Remake
and we keep driving night highways in search of
the past pieces of our friend group
but they choose pride over fellowship
so they can chain the ones they want to marriage bands and empty vows
thank you for teaching me
that you can not try for brilliance
instead it gravitates toward you
through honesty and observation
you are the most interesting story my life will ever get the chance to read
