if i told you
that i loved you
would you stay
or would you leave

the moon hangs
so heavily
over your dark hair
eyes lit up
by the halo
of the tides'

i don't want to forget
the feeling
of your fingertips
or your lips
searing the curve
of my neck

when you smile
my heart is flung
into an empty sky
it shatters
and you pull me
closer
as we watch
it
the rain
staining the edges
of our window panes
