A panicking willow I become, like you are the mumbling grey sky over me. Neon red shattered on my cheeks as your hand touched mine. The bleeding heart and the rusty quill of this poet, now yours to yield. Under a fluorescent moon we lay drowned in uncertainty still, only our proximity mattered anymore. Like an age old tale, i crumble. Like near a scorching sun, i melt. All my unsaid words waiting and waiting and waiting... for some backbone. In the landscape of your reassurances, i lay silent. Being swept away to you by the same wind again and again Breath in an uproar, almost like a cry for help, that's lost in translation i hope he knows how his proximity heals me how his warmth is the cardigan for my cold heart and how it feels like somewhere between the clouds and the heaven. I hope he reads this coward's mind, before the words betray her.

Proximity
A panicking willow I become, like you are the mumbling grey sky over me. Neon red shattered on my cheeks as your hand touched mine. The bleeding heart and the rusty quill of this poet, now yours to yield. Under a fluorescent moon we lay drowned in uncertainty still, only our proximity mattered anymore. Like an age old tale, i crumble. Like near a scorching sun, i melt. All my unsaid words waiting and waiting and waiting... for some backbone. In the landscape of your reassurances, i lay silent.
