you have no idea


how is every love song about you?

angel. crank the brightness on my life

turn the sun louder, sky higher, ache deeper, wish needier

thoughts quieter.

refer me to an internal department while i hold for your call 

on the other end of an answering machine without a message 

and “all i see are wings” swimming under the surface

reminding me those words were written for people like you 

girls who are stars more than they are human

girls who deserve a better peace, just by existing as they are. 

(i can see your wings) 

(and i love to watch you fly)
