Rises

Day falls and rises again
Trying to show the strength god gave to
Both itself and you
But it's ignored and
Forced to restart
Bruising knees on stars
As yours bruise on his tiles

He smokes a cigarette
With closed walls
While you struggle for air

The closest star grows beauty
Yet you linger on his weed
Like it is what gives you breath

The clouds you see
Disappear in his ceiling
While the curtains stay shut

Kissing him like he is earth
And he treats you as the dirty word implies
Step, step, stepping

Yet day rises and falls again
