sky

city lights & starry nights

the smell of rain in the air

the smell of smoke in my breath

my fingers tuck my hair

behind my ear

inhaling the dust

with every broken piece of me

settling it deep inside of me

hoping it’ll conceal the nightmares,

the burned letters &

the unfulfilled promises of the past.

i click pictures of the sky

every second of the day

so when i lose it all

i’ll have the sky.

i’ll have it when i don’t have myself.

i’ll have the clouds around my fingers

the stars when i cry, they’ll fall in my lap

and

make me fall in love with myself,

all over again.

the sky can do that, not a person, but the sky.
