Mar 2013
The temporary taste your mouth craved quickly became forgotten by your restless mind. Didn't realize what you so desperately needed until ripe sweetness dissipated.
Her tired eyes could no longer precipitate on that overcast morning.
In sipping that black coffee a little too fast, bitterness struck the buds on your hot tongue.
She watched you cringe and almost felt the same shock that once scarred her. Because she did kiss satan before. And she did cry, hard,
for you.
Ice boulders against your freckled shoulders.
I leapt off the crescent moon's edge to feel the mere flecks of snow upon my own skin.
Everyday I wonder, was that kiss a sin?
Impossible to reel in, you tugged from afar. Gravity envied your strength.
The pull of your drift made me remember my weakness. I have felt the weight of hate, that small bit alone so great. Your heart played the victim bait on my stretched out line.
I swear, the moon's never shined so bright. You reflected my own light, I just wanted a cool touch but certain hugs can be too tight. Too hot to handle. I offered you my oxygen but grew lightheaded. Then I regained my balance.
I suffocated suffocating the most innocent catch I ever knew. I could never reel you too close to me again or, fatally, you'd burn too. You left nothing but an impressioned body orbiting other planets when I thought I was the star.
I commanded God to make up his mind. "Choose one side and give me a sign."
Bitter or sweet, he manipulated both.
Her system so solar, centered on herself, His help was useless against the burning lies and sin lying within. Never again did she feel guilty since the day she realized that she was only one galaxy in his limitless universe.
