Mostly numb Mar 2014
as we sat there i traced my thumb along your skin
trying to dig into the constellations with just a trace of my finger
wondering if maybe you understood why
sorta relevant to what happened today eh , sorry for not writing as well , lack of inspiration on my part

i. in my dream, you ask me to connect your freckles with my 19 coloured pens. i create the constellations reflected in your eyes. you kiss me. i wake up.

ii. you ask me to play the bars of the same song that made us both cry and shiver on different continents before we knew each other. i leave the airport the happiest and the saddest i've ever been. happysad.

iii. you sing at 3 am at the back of the bus. i sit at the end of the same row. my head hurts from banging against the window while i try to look at the moon, instead of you.

iv. we sit on the tram and pretend to fix all your problems.

v. i sit up at 2 am and cry at my mistakes. i wonder if i make you the happysad you make me.

If you’re free this evening
May I connect the freckles
Scattered across your back
With glow-in-the-dark pen
So they too can see
You are a constellation
When the moon wanes crescent
And the best bits glisten

Why are you
All the constellations in the night sky
I've been searching for?

You are my swirling black hole in the space

Make me twirl,
and get me lost

So very lost in your eyes
