seventy-three freckles on the left side of your face.
i wish one of them was me.
twenty-three, living in the backseat of a car
always on its way through spring.
i pray for rain,
i pray for sleep,
but something eats away at me.
and i can’t deny,
you mean the world to me,
but right now i need to learn to breathe.
and i can’t lie,
you taught me how to see
that there’s more colors in the world than green.
you’d be proud of me,
i built half my house
on rock instead of leaves.
leaves, on rock instead of leaves.
bittersweet,
sent an invite you’ll never see
now that i’m clean of all the dreams
where you would dance with me.
i’d love to see you at the party next to me,
to celebrate how i became the person you believed i’d be.
