As if the world would suddenly go quiet
Our hearts race against the light.
We always lose; we know we will always lose
Everyday we pretend that will change
Smiles plastered and cracked
Mark the loneness we share
Fingers laced so tightly
Numbness almost seems fitting
Still we cannot deny the warmth of the sun tip-toeing on our backs
Teasing us of what could be had
I stumble on the words,
As you try to capture the moonlight
Your box is always empty;
“the moon just steals from the sun”
She takes his palms and whispers solace into the sky
As if the stars will tell of his wish
Wishes are for the innocence
That is held in the palms of children
I am sorry
Every night we express our wants
To Whom It May Concern;
They always go unheard
stop sending wishes over our heads
And send them into our ears.
Maybe then we will be happy instead of content.
Suspicions of being alone
Hatred towards sameness
Live within the small spaces between our joints
Sounds of escaping air are our only hope
Yet we fear clenched fists
And demand love, as if it were a rite
Forcing ourselves together under
Cheap bed sheets and miss guided emotions
In search for what’s missing
Creating creativity
Ask me
Ask me
Ask me
We inhale the same breath,
No one notices
No one cares
