Introverted?

give me daffodils
of summer yellow,
and swaying irises'
rich purple color;
your irises spin
and I don't know why,
but I made you stand
and watch the sky
turn dappled gray
to black and blue,
What would I never
do for you,
I tried to say 
hello
today, but
I was blinded by the sun

they say the sun's still spinning,
spinning,
spiraling
out of control,

I tried to speak,
and speak I did,
but 
I don't think
they heard
at all

hello, hello,
do I exist,
I didn't think
it'd come to this,

sometimes I want
to be alone

in my 
introverted
biodome

but sometimes,
when I'm on my phone,
I'm secretly trying
to find my cowardly courage,
waiting to talk,
to anyone--

    You said you would give me
    Anything
    to see me smile,

    And of all the things 
    you could give,
    you chose
    Insanity.

    I'm crazy for you,
    tripping over my own words
    as my heart twists itself

    Amber eyes
    meet deep, stunning brown

    I’ve never noticed
    Amber
    looked like
    crackling embers
    falling down

    like rich, warm honey
    falling through the cracks;
    autumn leaves
