I can't
take anymore
of this place
spread the curtain
back over the sun
because
my eyes won't open
until our stars
start shining
again

❀ ❀ ❀ ❀

your hair was long and stringy
like the weeds you'd pull for me
from your backyard
because your mom refused to plant flowers

  ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ 

 

i like
how it feels
to rot
when my blood
becomes stale
my skin
is no longer
the color
of youth
-

 

lift me up
like you did
when i
was a child
because
my legs
can't bear
the weight
of my mind
filling up
with the words
i want to hear
-

you are
the one thing
i can count on
when my fingers
are too numb
to stretch out
in the
morning
because i
had slept
on my hand
all night
but why, 
then,
don't you
become numb
when i
sleep on you
