The Sun Hurts My Eyes
i used to know love
take her out and tell her how i feel
promise the world
over the moon
laughing into a sunset
Televisions for mirrors
best and amazing dripping on every kiss
sugar down the funnel
i worshipped the idea
of you
release the doves
backed into a corner i
gave away nothing my sacred
still ringing
i noticed the continuity
the light still casts a shade
if time and space are the same
why does it still feel like yesterday?
i feel her bending back the elegance
the partition was only the beginning
i wallowed in my denial, laying on my back
the sun hurts my eyes
i forgave and learned of my needs
i gave thanks this love was a pathway
now which love was mine?
who dares straddle my holy ground?
brazen and also wary
courage and sensitivity
self loving and almost selfless
the wine i share in silence
the things i feed upon
while drifting in a milky way
a constellation came to my bedside
butterfly kisses my eyes were twinkling
still receiving a signal but by the time
i have a listen
they had been finished in a cycle
becoming something i have nothing to do with
