could you close your eyes
so i can't see you
for my heart can't take it
it pounds in irregulars
waiting for you to open up
so i can close my eyes too
the sun beats down upon
my wonderous summer skin
lathered in your guilt
bathed in a deep recess
to which i barely breathe
like a bird in drowning seas
i thought of me blind
to the emotions you fail at
and fail to be
it is a relinquishment
of my heart bruised
till it may stop
the blood pumps with no thought
but i often think of ending it
just to feel the same as you
like the planes in the sky
we are cold and alone
looking for life in the fleeting
it is what we didn't want
what was desperately needed
to cure what is beneath
i open my eyes unto the sky
to feel what you never told
a little less alone
