SUN SETTING

viii.

skinny dippin'
whisky drinkin'
a f t e r noon

i want to stop feeling the sun slowly splitting me open, baring down on my shoulders; so heavy heavy heavy. so kiss me. distract me of this drowsiness weighing me down. kiss me until i can't breath and and then laugh.

let the sun twinkle in your eyes, for you are my destruction. and my creation, did i tell you that? the sun may sing me to sleep but as long as you have a smile even more celestial, i'll be ok.

so i take your hands and let your smile embrace me, leading you to the water. i'll rain the sparkling liquid upon you as you claim me queen of the sea!

don't worry, loving you may be my self destruction, but i adored every second. you made the lights inside me wink and i didn't even think of the sun as you wrapped your arms around me and we watched the stars drown. i didn't even think of the smile gracing my own lips, sculpting the marble face into moonlit grins.

lip bitin'
star gazin'
n i g h t noon

— i loved, and i loved, and i lost me
