i could've fallen in love
with a million silly things
but i chose the grandest one;
a walking beam of light
with a milk-white smile
and prism eyes
a gift for singing,
speaking, kissing,
and though by comparison
i am small and dull
next to him, i feel
so warm
how can you say
"don't stay up too late"
when my lulling goodnight
has bloated to a low roar
and my blankets,
once cold,
are now scalding my flesh
my fingertips can only cool
so much
until they fray
like the lining of your jacket
so you see, my dear
i cannot sleep;
not without a heartbeat
other than my own
i count
the stray
hairs
he's left behind,
cum stains
and cigarette
burns
scatter my sheets
like stars
on a linen
sky
we pushed
into eachother
like we
were ripping through
atmosphere,
i tasted
a comet in
his mouth,
he felt
a galaxy in
mine
don't get that song stuck in your head
and don't fall in love with them
nothing is happening
why would anything happen
we are friends we are just
friends
i could've fallen in love
with a million silly things
but i chose the grandest one;
a walking beam of light

speaking, kissing,
