[Untitled]


the night falls because it is too heavy for the sky to hold and so is my heart as our lips part for the last time for a long while now, dear. and I feel like the word Shatter. and now you are like ghost kisses the ache of remembrance on my neck, lips, and cheek. the crevices between my fingers have no place to hide, they are Empty-- so Empty like the suitcase gathering dust in my closet each passing day I do not run, run, run to you. And we both have our places and times while crystallized pain falls from our eyes and we miss and we ache and we yearn. I remember me tense in your arms as we side stepped to... we truly found each other in the darkest of places, spaces. and I remember every tear of every shitty year fell and with the sound of weeping... your surety in my safety you drifted away.. and Love is Heavy like that, like the night to the sky. and it drowns you, breaks you, sinks and shakes you but it is so beautiful.. it leaves you soaring but still so heavy and my hair is the string of a floating, roaming balloon and one look in your eyes calls me home. and from here though these miles test us tear us and sometimes, sometimes win-- can't you still feel my breath fall? and I DO love you and I DO want you and I DO crave you and I DO, I DO, I DO want to spend my years with you. I ant moments... millions of stars drawn together by our odd configurations and faults of...it wasn't supposed to be this way but it defied me defied us all! and thus we stand, I stand quivering fingers, heart in my ears, every time the first time everyday the first day. We get comfortable, angry, sad, impatient, crazy! but you never fail to patch up the wounds from my gun that I Shoot before I even know why... you're my forever alibi, with or without crime. In a garden I bloom, and I started to the day my eyes fell on you and the night's too heavy for the sky and I, too, am heavy. but you took me and you whispered "I will love you forever, you're the most, the most, the most" your hands through wires lift me higher, and I am existentially present. in the moment I stand. Your warmth carries, I want you to let me in. I want you. I want your head on my chest, feel the thud of my heart as it beats on my breast solely for you. I love you with every filament of my being, filament because you Ignite me, you strip me bare and see the light in me. And the empty spaces between my fingers? they love you too... Love is heavy like that, love is measured like that and things will break and we'll be here and we will push forward. My heart beats for you... crawl into me, escape the worries, love is invincible. It's heavy, take my best, take my flaws We are each others, We are, we are alive. Let my chest be your pillow, and let you never forget that this love is more than this aching thud in my chest. You deserve me at my best. Love is the night falling because it is too heavy for the sky, but it always, always, always survives.
