i carry this heavy love
warmth like the glow of a candle on a nightstand
looking to light a corner of the cold room
that isn’t possible.
the light only reaches so far
i douse it with gasoline
risking starting a blaze of self destruction
i wanted to run with you into that glow
i can’t say the words i feel
because i miss you
yet i don’t want to
i still remember the jokes in the night
your skin on my skin
the room is intoxicated with bliss
the hazel glow of your eyes
i wanted to spend every moon with you
now i spend every moon looking up
at each star
hoping to taste this feeling again
i’ve never been so fragile.
with me
