You share your smiles like
secrets
I'll never know the answer to

I admit that
Sometimes
I dream of peace
A purple sky
With a bottle of wine
A hazy window
Covered in a maroon cloth
On one side
Raindrops audible
But out of sight
Wooden walls and calm fires
A walk down a creaky hall
To read
I retire

The galaxy is awake
Through the sounds of the thunder

And I'm alive

I want so badly to be in love
But not with you
I want to be in love with myself
Because then it doesn't matter whether you stay or leave
