Leave a Mark or Don't Touch Me at All
I awoke in a forest
fog whispered through the trees
too thick to cut through
I brushed off the leaves
I tried to guess what time it was
it felt like dusk,
but my heart shouted "dawn!"
So I watched the sun to see
where
she
went
She hung in the sky
just out of my reach
it felt like a minute
it felt like a week
Static and cold
while showing me warmth
"i don't believe you"
she retorts, "you don't need to"
It felt like nothing
and that's what burned
