Admiration of Fear

by Alexis D. - Virgo

you've learned to forget the sky

by living your life of gutters

you're only pot of gold is

the rainbow-

and you only love the stars

of another-

never reaching for them

knowing you'll

never feel their transparent

blue warmth

against your melting

skin

 

where did it all go?

where did they all go?

the people, the places, the things?

the simplicity of what you were

taught it is to live

and why were you given hope

through lies

and then told it

is

wrong

to

lie?

 

you understand why they

live pretending nothing

is wrong-

because you never have

and this is where you are

living in your life of

gutters outside of their

dissillusioned dreamscapes

 

let me touch you...

 

let me touch your melting skin

so that you might remember

what it is to feel

and know that even when

there's nothing else

we have these moments

and small as they are

it's what we have

the only reason

we need.
