my heart smiles and shines when yours is close to mine
of all the many things i don’t let myself think about
i forgot you were one of these
even then, there
when i saw you
even then
when your fingers ran through my hair
it was dark
i’m a million hues darker now
more pigmented
not so pearlescent
though my heart shined
it was buried behind the rubble walls
of its prison, my chest
oh how after we’ve parted
i feel the great strength of it now!
a crushing, deathly heavy weight in my chest!
there is no other word to describe it but love
the deepest, most undisturbed bottom corner of my heart
resting there, i keep you
though not at the surface, shining bright for all
but deep down, a beaming light
behind the rocky wall
love
it is strong and i will have it forever
love
may we both never change
i don’t know how to be anything but myself
i wonder what it is you could have thought
small pool of people that make me feel this way
physical reaction
all fired up
tingly in your arms
