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
