Yet Another Untitled Poem

I've been wanting to do more on the topic of intimacy.

More on the frailty of a birds heart and the flutter of tiny wings.

There is something fascinating about your eyelashes against your cheek bones and I wonder why I can fall asleep around you. 

I wonder if its because I'm so comfortable that you lull me into dreams,

But maybe its because Ive been deprived of oxygen for so long. I come up to breath in your eyes and I only smoke cigarettes  when you're not around to exhale smoke into my lungs.

And yes the drugs might kill me but at least they'll never break my heart.

At least I won't need to cry anymore and I don't know whats going on with me.

But I know the sound of your heart well enough to pick it out of a crowd,

And I'm convinced that maybe we came from the same solar system.

I know I need to leave this bed soon but darling,

Will you let me stay in your head?

All I want to do I nestle behind your eyelids so maybe I can see myself the way you do.

I want all the freedom that comes from running but I don't want to let go of your hand.

I want to apologize to the universe. I have found out its secrets about love.

Nothing is mysterious any more.

Ive been told that love might ruin me,

But I feel safe between your arms.

Tell me again how you'll never get tired of the sound of my breathing.
