cry

you know that feeling?

when you’re about to cry?

where your stomach caves in

and your lungs feel like they are filled with cement.

Your only thought is

“what

have I

done?”

were all you want

is to go back in time

and fix

EVERYTHING.

where you wish with every fiber of your being

that you could set

this right.

slowly

slow

a lazy smile slides across your face

the glint of your eyes

head on shoulder in the car

the briefest of moments

when you lose sight of her

but she’s right behind you

elusive still

and barely out of sight.

Even when she’s crying

and she’s away and your soul is dying

the feeling is still there.

no matter the distance or the time

whether a day or a week

no time without her is bearable.

but when you look her in the eyes

and you feel her heartbeat when you hug

or when your hands are glued together

and her hair falls across her face

time

seems

to

slow.

WHEN YOU WERE BORN

THE STARS FELL FROM THE SKY IN CELEBRATION

AND LANDED IN YOUR BLUEST EYES.

THEY GLISTEN

WITH SHARDS OF SILVER AND GOLD.

THE WISDOM IN YOUR FACE

SHOWS YOU’RE CARING AND BOLD.

YOUR HAND IN MY HAND

OUR SOULS INTERTWINED

THE BEATING OF YOUR HEART

WHISPERS

“YOU’RE MINE.”
