When I Close My Eyes,  The Stars stay In The Sky and Dance With the Sun, And I Open The Window And call

When I close my eyes,  the stars stay in the sky and dance with the sun, and I open the window and call your name as if I know it better than my own. When I close my eyes,  the rain waters the dying flower fields, and I wear diamonds around my wrists and no one asks me about the scars I used to paint in  gold.  When I close my eyes,  the city lights turn off so the stars can finally breathe again, and you place flowers in my hair as I touch your face and I stop counting the days. When I close my eyes,  the morning light paints the room like sweet frosting, and I can hear you breathing, calmness stains your lips and your hair kisses the  pillow. When I close my eyes,  the petals of flowers swim around you as if they know you are just as ephemeral as they are, and we never stopped talking and I never locked the windows and I still slept soundlessly with dreams instead of nightmares and the words in our conversations did not become severed like the lifelines I tried to cut off.

When I close my eyes, I see you. (via dollpoetry)
