+a smearing of galaxies
+2019-12-31
+
+***
+
+my dream is to take you out for long days in the city
+in little dessert shops we can be found hiding
+curled up in the corner under a blanket, legs intertwined
+how cursed that it's my passions I can barely define
+
+wasting light in the evenings in the hot tub of someone
+slipping into each other's curves in the center of the sun
+as all the other stars in the galaxy fall into place around us
+please, my love, teach me the meaning of lust
+
+curtains close, sun sets, trapped in a frost giant's heart
+taunting shadows of futures that rip us apart
+I ask you to promise me tomorrow; you shake your head and refuse
+for who knows if tomorrow's the next thing that we'll lose
+
+my hands clench the steering wheel as your breath slowly weakens
+half-frozen exhales like deep-shining beacons
+past is immutable, changing nevermore
+but I am the worst keeper of my very own lore
