The moon breaks through the window with luminosity
Your chest rises and falls lightly with every calming breath
My pale fingers trace your gorgeous skin as I lay awake
I blink with every inhale of breath your sleeping body takes
Our legs are tangled together to keep us from moving apart

My fingers seem to trail towards your collar bones
Chirping crickets and hissing cicadas fill the silent void
My colorless lips tug into a smile for you have awoken
Your lips lure towards my ear in a swift manner
Words of love and wishes for the future pour from your lips

And we end the night with a simple kiss

The beautiful birds outside
sing their daily songs

The flower buds
wait until the spring so they can see their own world

The autumn leaves
seep into the earth only to rejoin the cycle

Your boots
wait for your feet to join them once again for another one of your outside adventures

Your favorite sweater
the one that smells like me
hugs your body close to keep you safe from the crisp of the air

And I
wait until my arms can be wrapped around your waist once again

she laid
in the color changing leaves
which were dying
along with her
-------------------------------------------------------
i'm mighty jealous
of that blanket that
gets to hold you
all night long
-------------------------------------------------------
she closed her eyes
and remembered all his features
when their skin touched
and their warmth mixed
-------------------------------------------------------
let­ me tell you
all the ways
i love you
with just the
tenderness of my expression
------------------------------------------------------­-
you're my sun
the one that keeps
me alive and warm
and yet
I find myself
not wanting that sun
-------------------------------------------------------
press­ wet kisses
to my collar bones
and mummer
sweet nothings
into them too
------------------------------------------------------
that twinkle in your eye
does not come
from thin air
there has to be a reason
and I hope that reason
is me
-------------------------------------------------------
one day
i will be nothing more
than a phantom
haunting your memories
just like you did
to me
-------------------------------------------------------
as this thunder collides with the sky
i lay staring at the ceiling
remember all the times
you shielded me
from the rain
-------------------------------------------------------
thes­e are the nothings
i write in my mind
and drape across paper
to show myself
i am not insane
i am only human
