The sun comes up. I think about you...
my eyes wander the skyline
caressing in circles your glowing form
i wish the day would stretch on
so I could lie outside and admire you
and so you could burn my eyes to shreds
in order to help me see you better
your painful taste
stays on my tongue
as I am the only one who finds the sunset sad
tears slip down as you leave me
sinking into the sea
each time I pray you don’t drown in your watery bed
but the other day I found
that you don’t sink
you leave me to warm others
all love turned to loathing
infidelity burns me like you once did
my heart is sunburnt for the first time
and now I’m shooting arrows into the sunrise in the hope that broken love still has wings.
