IT SEEMS I HAVE BEEN CHASING

ANGELS FOR MY WHOLE LIFE

AND I HAVE YET TO FIND ONE. 

.

when i get dressed, 

i leave him sleeping on the bed. 

i walk outside. 

the crisp air hits my face

my eyes wander 

about the landscapes

i walk through. 

my bare feet hit the pavement

in a certain rhythm 

i feel my ribs pulling away from my

sternum

as i pass people by. 

having conversations,

laughing, 

just living. 

i wonder what it is like to live

without sadness?

i walk for hours

and

hours

and

hours. 

i find myself outside of the city

surrounded by trees. 

GLORIOUS. 

it is dark

as my demons. 

i feel oceans apart from louis. 

the sun dipped behind the skyline

and i am able to see the 

glittering stars. 

this is what i missed about solidarity. 

but my heart pulls for me to go back. 

i miss liam

i miss zayn

i miss niall

i miss...

him. 

his name seems too ominous to think. 

"harry." 

am i ever alone anymore?

"louis."

i don't turn towards him. 

had he followed me?

had i not been paying attention?

(i hadn't)

the clear air was infiltrated with

his addictive scent. 

i find my lips tingling at the memory

of

him. 

i swallow my emotions

as easily i do the pills. 

"you followed me?"

he is silent, but i feel him 

creeping up behind me. 

his warmth is at my back. 

"i'll admit stalking usually isn't a problem i have to deal with." 

i hear him chuckle as he sets his 

chin on my shoulder.

GET

OUT

OF

HIS

GRASP

i do not move.

"i'm worried about you." 

i say nothing. 

"i know you feel it too." 

my skin crawls. 

no

no

no

no

no

i break from his grasp

"DON'T ACT LIKE YOU KNOW ME"

i am screaming

"DON'T ACT LIKE YOU SET MY HEAVEN

ON FIRE AND THE WORLD IS NOW

IN TECHNICOlOUR BECAUSE YOU

SHOWED UP. IT ISN'T THAT SIMPLE."

yes it is. 

hold me close. 

p l e a s e.

"but it is that simple,

you just won't admit it." 

he takes a step toward me

and i am 

shaking.

"you look so fragile"

he says, 

taking another step.

"you look so broken"

another

"you look so,"

his lips hover over mine,

"beautiful"

and he kisses me. 

and it feels as if though i am jumping into

a lake

in the middle of summer

into all of the warm memories i may have. 

i feel tears running down my face

as my arms wrap

around

his

neck. 

is it so bad

to desperately want to

feel,

when you haven't in so long?
