I will not title this piece Today

You wake up

You tell yourself

Today

Life starts

Today

then life actually does start

and you forget what

Today

was meant to be

Then you sleep

Make me Amazing

Smart

Sophisticated

Beauty

Aren't you a princess

I let your name roll off my

lips

like its the last taste

I'll ever know

But you'll never know

I'll keep this piece a secret

Published long enough

for you to read it

And read it well

as my hands are

on fire with the things I've wished

to tell

you

My mouth stays frozen

tongue held still

behind my teeth

opened momentarily

so i can breathe

yet you leave me

breathless

restless

with your

effortless smile

enough

Amazing

Darling that word isn't big enough to hold you

I know

the ocean of stars
above me

is no longer
enough

to call beautiful

now

that my nights are
spent with

you

beauty fades

These clouds stand frozen

like the last remnants

of an atomic bomb

and in this heat

I watch everything

bloom and fade

everyone loves a good tan

until your poisoned by the sun

pros and cons baby

pros and cons

short

from that angle everything
looks better
so please keep looking
at me
from
right there
