Today my skin kind of smells like you and I'm trying to stay away from my shower.
And if you opened up my stomach you'd find it full of feathers that flutter every time I think of you breathing slowly into my ear until I was dreaming of you. I don't know how I'll be able to sleep again without you.
I accidentally deleted this and had to post it again. Oops.
The heavy haze of a steamy summer evening bares down on my chest I gasp for each little breath Leaning on sorrow I Reach around to unveil the cup that we couldn’t fill And my shame cloaks me Like an Olympians bronze I wear doubt like a soldiers badge of honor Marching into war A war we couldn’t fight The demons we couldn’t tame The harm we couldn’t sow
And I found you there Like the first ray of sun on the very first seed Like a dancers first stage Like artists first pen Like the sunrises first sunset And we tangled in each others fingers And played hand in hand And tiptoed on the edge of freedom
But we were haunted by the choices that had come before But we never let that shadow The unsteady amour of our broken hearts And we never let the emptiness that the night brought Swallows us
And for a moment we forgot ourselves And we danced in the merriment of each other thoughts Laughing at each others regrets And patiently waited to orchestrate our own And Then we remembered..
Rushing to Button up our collars we head back onto our designated sides “Don’t forget to softly close the unhinged door” Tomorrow I will seek safety in the comfort of your hands But tonight we must gather each other up
It's sad the only person I've ever loved never knew and couldn't reciprocate the sentiment. And I'm worried I'm ruined for all my partners after. Because I don't know how to love like that again.
