lost & found.

you are the thoughts
invading my mind at every
2 in the morning, when the
one thing
i want is the
one thing
i’m deprived of:
sleep.
and you…
my arms are nothing but
goosebumps.
they are numb from the
cold air
hitting them,
jealous of their heat.
each swirl in the design of
my ceiling
creates the letters that create
your name.
i can’t look away or
close my eyes, too
afraid that if i do, they will
disappear
and there will be
nothing left
to comfort me in the
dark.

you are each stripe in my sweater, the
ones i argued were black
and you argued dark blue.
black.
blue.
maybe i just liked seeing you
so sure of yourself.
each time you pulled
your eyes
back to roll them in humor,
you pulled me in too.
i only wish i got to
stay there and
live
behind your eyes and
see the world the way you did.
see me the way
you did.


i lost
myself
and found you
everywhere in everything.
you're all the birds on my roof in the morning,
you're their songs sung to wake me up,
even though i'm not asleep.
now fly in through my window
because i need you
to help
find me.
