midnight fills
my empty lungs
as traces of memories
slowly come in
vintage dreams
I watch as you
peel back the flesh
of my heart
and run your fingers
through the layers
of my soul
this is where
I wish
you could stay
midnight fills
my empty lungs
as traces of memories
slowly come in
vintage dreams
I watch as you
peel back the flesh
of my heart
and run your fingers
through the layers
of my soul
this is where
I wish
you could stay
it’s the way
you look at me
beyond flesh
and bones
you see
into my soul
and I knew
in that moment
that you would live
inside my skin
forever
the moon lingers
as your shadow
dances in twilight
echoing
my very own
once you listen
to the silence
between the beats
of my heart
only then
will you understand
the depths
of my soul
inside the silence
of the stars
I find you
tucked neatly inside
the depths
of my flesh

I try
to find you
in all the colors
of a sunrise
inside the whispers
of the wind
between the here
and now
as the silence
fills the ticking
of the clock
please just know
that wherever you are
I miss you
and I wish
that you
were still here
what if
I went away
into the stars
and so far away
into the universe
would you try
to find me
or let me
drift away
the lines
upon your skin
are etched
so deeply
into my mind
and
the sound
of your voice
is the rhythm
of my heartbeat
I wish
I could dissolve
into the universe
where I am
nothing
but dust and atoms
floating
so freely
into the void
I love
that I am
tangled up
in your existence
