the endless love letter
(this is one of my favourite things i’ve ever written and if i could i would mail it to you with proper ink and heart shaped stamps sealed with all the love that my heart can give; i.e; endless)
i see the constellations of a thousand galaxies in your eyes
i must hide my face before i start to cry
and my heart runs along the mountainside
of where we sat together
time is a cruel thief for which my hands remember
the handshake that built the foundations of forever
and the weight of your skin on mine seems to linger
everywhere i go
the pale moonlight is singing me to sleep
the lull of your song and it’s mine to keep
under a black heavy sky in which i dream too deep
always
darling, i never forgot the last day in december
or the look on your face, i gladly surrender
and all the moments in between stir achingly tender
and it’s here i’ll stay
if the world should forget me tomorrow
or the sea should sigh its last sorrow
and the sand is covered in a tide so hollow
we will stand tall among the shore
and it does not hurt me to think of it this way
and it does not frighten me that i no longer pray
the ticking of the clock is stuck on delay
and we tremble in time
i heard the angels have flown somewhere new
on wings made from our cries plus morning dew
and god softly spoke a word or two
about those star-crossed lovers
it’s so empty to think i walked this world alone
many years spent listlessly prone
to the depths of mordor that swelled beneath my dome
until i found you
we fill gaps in walls that are adamant listeners
and if my stomach could talk, it’s there you’d find a sickness
we grow darkly with each other, but slow then all at once
and i never want to be healthy again
because in me; you live. and in you; as do i
and that’s a love not even the brightest sun could deny
choke on my words and stutter as i try
to explain how much i love you
