you made a home
out of the crevices
surrounding my body,
like the impurities
that scatter
my worn
pale skin
invited you there
with a warm welcome.
you've healed
the scars
clumsily littered
on the girl
that you've
held captive
longer than
the brightest star
has yearned
to become
a constellation,
and you kissed
my lips
until the salt
from our eyes
no longer stung
when it hit
the cracks
in my
chapped skin.
my panacea
has been you,
and my escape
has been
the sunset
that ignites
in your eyes
every evening
at 6:32pm,
capturing
the energy
present
in the eyes
i know
just as well
at 2:54am,
with your body
atop mine
and love
in the space
between
our clammy skin.
