A thunderstruck heart weighs down my bed.
Your voice comes across like the perfect pitch harmonic
layering and complementing our surroundings. Your face,
calm and serene, with seemingly pearl skin
illuminates when you merely look my way.
You glance at the area and I scan for you,
nonchalantly attempting to maintain this
passport love to a minimum for I know that
I suffer from the world's greatest disease-
I fall in love too quickly.
You're the shutter in the blinds, the light headed
way to keep my cancers away.
I've never felt this way before.
I'm so enthralled
I am craving for your eyes
Inject your smile into my veins,
the visceral sight from my eyes to your way
I carry a heart like a mattress
spun around on the world when I'm alone at night
You are the street lights I hang on to
the fascination of a (crush)ed drug
I'm too sober without you
The flood is running through my body
cherry picking lives spread across the floor
with countless attempts to get the sweetness
and now I got it from you.
If only you knew.
If only you knew.

this is strangely similar to the way i am-- falling in love too quickly, getting high on somebody else, afraid of it but afraid to let go of the high.
ReplyDeletei really love the way you talk about pearl skin illuminating. whenever i fall in love, i could swear the the beloved's face glows and makes everything else seem duller by comparison.
i hope you're okay. i can't tell if you're living this now, or just remembering it all too clearly, but either way-- i hope you're okay.
It is funny, isn't it? How everything just gleams when that certain person is around you. Likewise, their absence just proves to show how monotonous and greyscale the world truly is. Love is an extra palette to our world.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your comment, I'm sure I will be fine.. I guess sometimes we just don't realize we're the villain until the final act.
