Laying next to me in the night
The goddess breathes in, out
Devoid of her divinity,
She is more beautiful than I could have thought.
The next morning she is there
Eating cereal
Donning a worn out coat
She is an angel with dark eyes.
I would go to a hospital if the drugs worked
Because what I have is not heartache it not a desire for a kiss
It's an infatuation full of real love and no pleasure
tell me how to measure all the moments I've wasted after you
Tell me how to breathe please tell me what this is
To make me dream of you in the night
And feel so many storms in my stomache
So I stay sick in my bed dreaming up impossible scenes
Dreaming of a world gone right, one where you smile in the day and sleep at night
I dream of a place where we ae happy
Together
One where everyone's lives are brighter
But you are so much more than me
In your button up shirt and dirty jeans
You bite your lips too much
And laugh too little
But in your smile I somehow find grace
Your black hair
Your eyes and nose and face
I look to you and run after something more than what's been planned for us-
A hopeless dream, one never talked about, one that's never been fully realized.
to admit this weakness to you is to give you the power
To destroy me with an awkward grimace, a mouth open and shut
No words spoken, the meaning remains clear
You'll leave and I'll stay in this quiet room
Staring at scorched toast and manicured fingernails
I sigh because I've fallen in love with a goddess
One who breathes in and out in the night
Her eyes are dark like her skin, and she is beautiful.
