One day, when we're grown up and whole, A time will come when none of this will matter anymore. I'll hold the stars in place, so they don't fall in - the cracks in the sky newly filled with sunlight.
Intangible lyrics lay inside my veins and your fingertips. My cheeks exploded into apples drawn from a curved grin. A dull but enriched ache that I cannot grip Nor grasp at.
Your words of honey drip like nectar From the bow of your mouth. Galaxies collide inside my chest; Painfully tight, a lucid occurrence of myth Or of science. Or of a dream at unrest.
We're not in Eden anymore. It's not hidden inside a packet, or a pill box or a glass bottle. No longer is the heartache worth the fruit's allure - The poppies are withering, the grasses now barren.
The whole world turns in quiet solitude And it is eerily silent Without your breathing; And it is eerily still without my chest Rising and falling Alongside the pace that you have set.
Once more, I beseech you raggedly To take my bones away from me. Retinas of fluttering geese over the day My desperate dreams reflected in your pupils And your crooked gentleness sweeping me away.
I strike a match. The flickering amber light sighs And breathes its last hiss of life. There is a metronome of rain overhead. A gift from the sodden leaves.
Ellie, I'm here. I am proud to love you When the quivering euphoria Engulfs us both And also when it does not.
To me, you are the lilac dawn creeping in. You are the flutter Of wings Inside my skin..
The weight of what happened that night Your visage cast in shadow My tears Your indifference to yourself Is terrible. Sweetheart, I'm so sorry.
