know you through music

another lazy night with my heartbeat in my ears

wondering how the clouds moved so low

 

another morning half awake

with your arms around me

 

another day we are cracking up at-

basically nothing

basically everything

how the fuck is this real

 

you leave and this song scratches at the part of my brain

that wants to know you like I know this world

to know you like I know only endings

to know you like I know myself

to know you like I know the oldest songs

to listen to you like this

a long hug and to not let go

 

our shadows are touching

I am half the things I want to be

and all the things I am trying to get rid of

 

but this melody has made me

and someday it might break me down

like the way that our paths collide,

the way that I hear you speak

between measures

so I’ll follow this rhythm

like it will build my heart

 

who knows

maybe it will

Hello there. I haven't read

Hello there. I haven't read your stuff in probably 2 years. You have really grown and blossomed as a writer. This poem kicks Ass. Hope to see more! And IM me sometime if you want.
