look at you big guy with your strong arms and big heart!
look at you, with your hair that can’t decide if it’s blonde or brown,
and eyes that shift between blue, green, and yellow like a shallow sea.
you’re too painfully noble for me, you keep your palms open, searching for what you cannot name i’m not even sure you even know. you have too much pride to beg, too much of knowing to fix yourself. you confess the strangest secrets to me, but i know i’m not the only one enamored by your odd demeanor, you do this to everyone.
so, i’ll bring a million birds just to imitate the sun for you to see me, i’m ur foolish starling, with frantic wings and a heavy heart. i swarm your peaks until the sky goes dark with my history, blotting out the light until there is nothing left but the sound of a thousand wings and the weight of your stone. i’ll tell you my sorrows, my joys as you shake and nod your head, never having much to say as the man you are with your broad shoulders, carrying a weight you refuse to admit. i can’t stay, i only come on a whim, you know that better than i do--you, who cannot move, you with your lack of ego, you who has known no movement but endurance. and when i come to you again, you don't ask, you’ll just tell me, “we can’t keep meeting like this”
and bask in my pathetic fire.
