You Sat Me On Your Lap and Told Me To Keep My Chin Up

Earlier

The sky was a cotton-candy pink

The kind of color that makes

You wonder why you’ve

Never been camping

Or jumped on a trampoline

In evening

I watched it turn to

Indigo

One of those in-between colors

Because it’s light enough

To where

The sky doesn’t feel like

It’s swallowing me whole

But dark enough to

Where pre-teens scamper

Home

As the street lights flicker

I study the outside world

Of stars
Color palettes

And dying trees

To distract myself from you

All of that green

Helps me remember to breath

And to scratch your knee

Whenever I get anxious

Maybe next time I’ll

Remember to close my

Eyes when we kiss

Our Love Can Build Super Novas

We text with a thousand hearts

Pet names from the galaxies

Your face is the moon

And my teeth are the stars

Every evening I bite off

A chunk of you

I am responsible

For every quarter moon

You hide some of my illuminated parts

And cover them with your own essence

Pleasantly wrapping me into a tight fog

I can not see my way through you

So I learn to

Numb my senses

And feel my way

Through smoke

You are the reason that I love the night

We All Could Have Been Anywhere Tonight

Thank you for stopping by

My lips are so wet with yours

And “I brought these for you”

A box of carbs and sugar coated lies

 

The way you dug into me

And all my fragile parts broke

With blood and liquid glitter

The “ooos” that my throat then croaked

 

With vomit stained skin

And morning breath kisses

All hair pulling

And against the wall pushes

 

Your chest then sighed

And so did mine

One last kiss with your eyes

Thank you for stopping by
