bummed cigarettes

I wade into tidal waves,

my hands full of dandelions

 

humbled by the sun

choked up over comets

I’ve given up on sunsets

 

you are a supernova clad only in my bed sheets

I make a wish every time your chest falls

 

****** lungs full of anxiety

My mouth tastes like an ashtray

filled with the buts of things i forgot to say

washed down by things i wish i hadn't

 

Still tripping over shoe laces,

I search for poetry in *** holes.

Forgiveness in pillowcases

my eyes have trouble resting these days

 

So, why aren't we dancing?

 

Following the rhythm of our mismatched heartbeats

I clumsily waltz through misleading conversations
