Apr 2015
your eyes cried love at the back of my head for years
and i ended up kissing your heels for attention
our anxiety ridden smiles match
i flirted through a funeral when you wore the color of lively cheeks and sun burnt toes
my mirror looks hold room for two
and when i wash my face
i look up hoping to see you
blazing purple like the subtle brilliant lights behind the milky way
that make it so wise
this story never had heroic start and will have a passive end
but in the meantime i can't bear to see your wedding day acted out in every silent moment that catches my calendar
and i ended up kissing your heels for attention
our anxiety ridden smiles match
i flirted through a funeral when you wore the color of lively cheeks and sun burnt toes
my mirror looks hold room for two
and when i wash my face
i look up hoping to see you
blazing purple like the subtle brilliant lights behind the milky way
that make it so wise
this story never had heroic start and will have a passive end
but in the meantime i can't bear to see your wedding day acted out in every silent moment that catches my calendar
I cast a line into my chest
hoping for the banned feelings to bite
so i can finally extract the small piece of you
that's been living in me for the past four years
i would say its been living in my brain
but it's far more innate
and my heart is a much warmer place
hoping for the banned feelings to bite
so i can finally extract the small piece of you
that's been living in me for the past four years
i would say its been living in my brain
but it's far more innate
and my heart is a much warmer place
