you were in the sky, drifting among thousands of clouds. blue ink spread across your skin and your eyes were the stars at night. i was in love with your movements. i was in the sea with the fishes and my skin was the color of undying love for adventure, red mixed in with dark blues. you can have your ordinary love; i want to drown in passion and be ravished every night.
we could never be together because of how unsure you were and how your mind wandered down the mountain sides and through the empty rivers of my heart.

susan with her black hair tied neatly with a yellow bow and her skipping was annoying. it matched my heart beat when i see her and i hate it. i didn't ask to be the butterfly of her flower garden, matching the tattoo on her left thigh and how she showed it off to all her friends. i didn't ask to be there when it happened. she changed and i didn't.
susan with her horrible smile and those dark, provocking black holes for eyes. i can't stand how her voice is the melody that echos like the voices in afterschool. i hate it. it rings, breaking through the boundary of my past. i fear she'll know and i don't want to hurt her.
susan with the graceful steps and yellow dresses. the summer sun makes her glow; an angel with a leather jacket. we dance through the steps. two steps forwards, one back, repeat at the school dance. it means nothing to me because--
susan with the black hair, flowing free with no care. she spun in a circle and stared at the sky. the earth felt dizzy and i fell in love.

we were young and stupid, with a camera shutter flashing every moment and glancing over our shoulders with hope to find that paradise. we never find it until you were near me in the dark. everyone else didn't like that and would cut down the lined paper with hopes of breaking us apart. you grabbed me by the hand and we ran away from the pain of the present and the future we held in our small hands, slipping between the cracks of our skin and onto the pavement.
we wanted the best thing but you changed and threw away the plastic toy promise ring. i kept mine above my heart with tears in my eyes. and hope lingered like a beast in a cage. i pretend to see you as a shadow that hangs on to me, gripping onto my reality and how sad you tell me with snakes in your eyes, how sad you didn't forget memories written in sharpie on the bathroom mirror.
the cave of my heart still floods with emotion every time i see the moon pass because i am reminded of how you are.

we all have stories we'll never tell, honeysuckle twisting around your lungs and spilling juices onto the cement. poison ivy on your fingertips and running through your brain. if you bloom, you should bloom with grace and the fear of no knowing what is around you because you can't try to figure everything out at once. the stories inside of us are the cacti of the desert; their jabs hurting those who want to enter. our past is the dying leaves in fall and the green grass in spring.

the most reliable way to predict the future is to create it. naturally, people twist the words and focus more on the predicting and not on the future. the nostalgia with lies that show how things were better than they seem, is what we hope for. ideally we look towards the future as a dying bird on a train track, broken down by metal wheels and pelting rain with what chances would it be alive. our parents have told us countless times to follow our hearts and persist through troubling times. sometimes following your heart, i believe, means losing your mind. with the future looming over a clear cut image scribbled in sharpie, all you could ever do is lose yourself in the lights and place your heart in some undying stranger's hand.

stop planting flowers in my heart when i see you because after a while, they slowly rot away as you drift along the water's current towards a flower field where another person lays awake and crying by the damage you have done.

offer me something i cannot find in myself. grow the flowers that settle along my arms and crack my skull so you can see into my love for you. break every bone in my body until you have a perfect image. offer me something i cannot feel for myself; give me a reason as to why to keep living in this downward spirl where you are cutting deep into my heart and tearing along the lines of my heartstrings.

we drink the wine from small tea cups and broken pinkies pointed, emotionally stable as an ikea table. you fuss about the knots in your hair and how they tickle your nose. bloodied brown eyes stare down into the pitiful pool, broken hopes fall down your face mixing in with the hard work you provide for your family. cherries bloom across your cheeks when i mention how my demons wanted to pick those cherries and string them across a rope to my heart. your fingertips dipped into ink and spread across my collarbone to create stars that matched those in your eyes, (wickedly charmed and there); take a breather and look at the ceiling as the broken tea cups spill their blood onto the freshly clean white carpet.

the yellow birds dance across the blue sky and i watch them sing a song, where the notes flow through my hair and cause my body to twist and turn and- i regret not listening to the radio during the long summer nights because with every song i hear, there is a ping of regret that settles and spreads through my bones and its clatters like rain against the screen door.

the ants would be jealous over something like this and shelter in the cracks of the rooms, discussing their renovations and dinner plans. it breaks through the clouds and touches the stars, the point breaking through the anxiety shell of earth. we hardly see these as dangers while birds fall to their deaths and swoon over the bread crumbs hanging carefully by strings on the edge. it sways and scraps across the sky, creating broken lines of white and the sun hides behind a gleaming grey shield for a moment before appearing again.

no matter how hard how long you commit to eradicating it from this world blasting it out of existence
you cannot kill time it sits there laughing at your tries watches as you confront it with lies idly patient waiting for your demise cause time is forever, whereas we simply are not.

what does the moonlight sound like? you asked under the forbidding sky. the stars were your eyes and the wind was your hair but i was the songbird who sat in between your arms and listened to your heartbeat. it was a melody that strung throughout until morning, where the sun kissed the moon goodnight. it sounds like home, i replied and i want to share the darkness with you

one of the keys to happiness is a bad memory and you were the memories that seeped through the fabric of my heart, staining my skin. breaking my bones and seeing through my heart, shining a flashlight through the fibers of it. you held the key above my head like a toy for you to enjoy. i have so much of you in my heart and i don't want you to go
