teeth

days when my legs twist inwards
and i ache from the inside
and ache from the rib
pangs of punctured emotions
like when i am missing
the strength you build
from my feet
upwards

i feel ragged
and choose to curl in
because the grey skies
scare me
i miss the light
that rests on your shoulders
when you are near
here

i confiscate my million negativities
in hopes of chasing a new sunrise
on my own
and learn to touch the stars
naming my favourite ones after you
you you you
are my favourite star

but there are days
when my legs twist inwards
and i ache from the inside
because i miss the way
your legs get tangled between mine
and your hair will tickle my nose
and get caught between my lips
and i will turn my face to yours
and tell you
we belong together
