Midday moon shine
I dance but you
don’t see
I dance but you
don’t feel
I dance but you
don’t so
I leave and you
stay
I leave and take
the wind
I leave it up
to you
to be the girl
you are
to be the girl
I need
to be the one
I see
dancing in the
leaves
letting the wind wisk
you free
up into the sky we breathe
light shining through these old breaths
no one wants to hold them
so they dance
but we don’t see
they dance
and we can feel
the tension in the air
between our eyes
so I leave
and you see
this gravitational force
breaking
in front of us
its because of us
that I will never
love enough
now that my heart is exposed
out here on my shoulder
it’s beginning to rust over
nothing left
nothing right
everything’s wrong
but the sunshine
wave after wave
enslaved to bring me light
crashing into the pavement
engraving into my eyes
bathing my brain with colors
marinading my mind like no other
star I see in the sky
flickering like the universe didn’t pay its bills
bickering because the universe didn’t pay the bills
snickering at me sitting here lost in the night
listening as the stars are whispering their dying breath
