Black Nights

Black pebbles on the ground,

ricocheting as you and I fall down. 

The current of the stream, 

flowing like your mountain of dreams.

 

Black circles under your eyes,

from nights that you've cried. 

Scars on your back, 

that I know are from your attacks. 

 

Black little lies that you feed me,

but I know you still want to scream. 

Tears that you've cried,

and all the life that has died. 

 

Black eyes from all the punches I've taken, 

and all the gruesome mornings that you've awaken. 

Late nights hiding our true selves,

hiding the fact that we are rebels. 

 

Black holes upon holes,

Filled with blood. 

Black holes and emptiness, 

before we explode.

    I’ve always wondered

    What it’s like to be myself

    Openly and honest

    And not hiding behind bookshelves

    Waiting for someone to see

    And let me into their heart.

    My neighbor is doing Duolingo across the street,

    He’s in his sixties learning a new language

    And I’m just eating leftovers, watching him,

    Wondering if he’s practicing French for his husband.
