Pretend I'm Screaming This

Breathe

I want to read the books that stain the minds of youth

I want to lick the smallest drop of rainwater off a rose petal

I want to see the sunset burn like fire in the eyes of my darling

I want to drop in the clearest water that trickles through the rocks

And run my fingers along the eyelashes of a child like dust

I want to scream from the highest mountain that touches the clouds edges

And run as fast as the music that floods through my veins

I want to dangle my fingers in the flaming tips of fox fire

And burn like a shot of vodka to the chest

I want to cry as if every person I ever kissed flew from the tops of buildings

And smile as if their wings caught the breeze and floated back down to the flowerbeds

I want to laugh as the echoes of my breath scream down the walls of a thigh shaped valley

And dance in the rain as the water droplets race down my skin and fall from my fingertips

I want to sing as if no one ever told me to keep quiet

And love like the dizziness in my head of a nicotine rush

I want to live as if every whisper that falls from my lips is worth its weight in colour

I want to die like a blank space in a whirling galaxy of stars and moons and light
