when a poet falls in love with you you can never die they will notice the way you rub your palms and look down when someone is angry at you and the way you smirk as you pull away from a kiss
they will notice how you can't sleep without your body touching someone else's how you never crease any pages of books and how you close your eyes when you dance in your kitchen with your record player on
they will find all of the words that they see you as and turn them into something beautiful
people say you die twice once when you stop breathing and when someone says your name for the last time
if you fall in love with a poet they will never stop mentioning your name you will be alive for eternity
You are a door That I have Never been able To open In a house That was falling Long before I was born Maybe The latch Was broken Maybe You lost the key A long time ago
