ivy

Sometimes I want to peel the skin back from my body and expose you to the skeletal system too dry and brittle to hold all of my sadness in

And other times I want to replace my deflated organs with the brightness of your eyes and watch emotions and balance play out perfectly in front of your body

You have the world behind those eyes and I want to fall into them. Get lost in them. I want to lay blankets and pillows down in your eye sockets and sleep to the rhythm of your blinking. I want to fan myself with your eyelashes and warm myself with your tears.

If only you could feel the void you create whenever you close your eyes, you would realize how much impact you have on life around you.

 

I don't ever want you to close your eyes
