Siyona.S.stay

The stillness,

before the clouds collide and

the thunder and lightening starts.

The moment where the city 

seems to stop all its bustling

just before a storm.

The couple of seconds that

There's a rope swing

all the way back in the woods.

I forgot it was there.

I took you there,

do you remember?

Yesterday we read quotes my mother kept from when my sister and I were little.

severus snape knew what always meant

he knew the weight of it

he understood it

"after all this time?"

"always."

always

something so powerful

with such weight

so profound

We didn't know the guy 

in the truck 

who's that guy? 

my sister asked, 

and I wondered if city people 

expected to know everyone 

they saw around town. 

I love you.

I know that’s just me

And you

And there are hundreds

Of millions

Of haters

Of hated.

But I love you.

But you’re my best friend.

I love you for phone calls

your birthday was halo-lit nights and cigarettes in sugar cakes—

melted icing smeared over the tips of flames snuffed out in the dark.

you asked for a songbird, said your lungs were burnt with apocalypse dust
