Emilee

We could start something.

Something beautiful.

Like the hills that we see everyday in

This world
This state
This county
This town

So close by you and your
Hospital bed.

Every day and night,
For when your Pancreas gives out.
Sending you
Your favorite flowers
When he breaks
Your heart again.

Listening when
You spill your guts
Not planting a seed of gilding sorrow.

But they understand

I understand,
That the only one
You can tell
About what you did last weekend
With your boyfriend
In his bedroom

Is no longer here.

The greatest jewel
Make even the coldest hearts of absolute zero
Melt.

 So maybe they couldn't break the ice,

But they could break your spirit.

Just don't let them, okay?

 If we were one in the same,

 I would hurdle over the mountains

 Cross a dessert just to bring you back 

 The tear you cried last September

 Over someone, something stupid.

The masks we wear make us, 

And I wear the mask of you.

And I don't mind because what I see

Is a radiance greater than the Aurora Borealis.

It’s more than love
It’s less than lust
It’s a bond
That is never broken
No matter what.

Blood thickens air,

As it turns blue to red.

Metamorphosing into something…

Beautiful.

Like your smile.

Like my laugh.

Like the hills.
