Girl On My Mind

By Laura January 14, 2016 Forever alive in my tired mind This memory that I can't define These lips I couldn't wait to kiss This touch I couldn't bear to miss It comes from glossy fairy tales A moment that could never fail We take back the night with stolen hearts The way that she takes me back to the start The feelings I had when life was young A night of forgetting my cold, black lungs Inahaling the breeze between the burning trees Higher than the peaks inside this raging sea Making claims, "we're not insane" we say Believing in the ways she took my breath away The past is filled with ghosts, and we have lots of those But future lives in present time; without a way to close
