You’re the sun
I’m in your orbit
you’re burning away
creating things where they weren’t before
it’s like nuclear fusion
-but with me and you
You’re the sun
I’m in your orbit
you’re burning away
creating things where they weren’t before
it’s like nuclear fusion
-but with me and you
I want to watch you blossom
making galaxies with your hands;
even though I can’t see or touch them-
I know for sure they’re there.
A storm won’t last forever
But the sun can’t shine every day
There will be times when you are rewarded
But there are times where you’ll have to pay
There’s a delicate balance in the weather
That you have to understand
Sometimes it will give you hope
Other times it will bring you to the ground-
Where there is laughter
There is also pain;
Where there is sunshine
There is also rain
I want to feel your body
I want to know your smell
I want to taste your lips
when they’re pressed
against mine.
It gets easier, you see:
dusk turns to dawn
night turns to day
and hate turns to love,
eventually.
I want to be your universe.
but you are a star,
and I am a black hole.
Who I am I to ask of you
to simply love me more?
I need you by the fireplace
(very far away from the door.)
I need you to try to hold my hand
and never to push me away,
for the most beautiful phrase you’ve ever said
is simply just ‘please stay’.
you enter my veins
you tell my head that I’m perfect
and my heart that it’s whole.
.
When I’m with you I am invincible
without you I’m a wreck
you make the sun shine bright
and the clouds go to bed.
.
It’s great until the morning
when I wake up all alone
with a pounding in my head
and sickness in my throat.
.
I remember why I need you
how you make me better
I pick you up from the floor
and I start it all again.
If I can’t prove it with algebra
then what good is love to me?
If can’t write it in terms of x and y
then I really don’t know how it can be.
If there isn’t a formula
then how do I know what to do?
.
I’m 100% sure maths is much easier than loving you.
I wanted to be with you
With you and your smile
With you and your eyes
But I am not worthy
So I just stayed at home
And counted the tiles
On the ceiling
the summer comes and with it brings
the smell of the sun on my skin
and I almost know without asking
the ache and the pain it will bring
those long hot days in which your skin
will tan and your hair will turn gold
are the long hot days that despite the sun
my soul will turn cold
I searched for myself
But I couldn’t find that thing
That made me happy
.
Maybe I would have found it
If I wasn’t searching
Between the sheets with you
