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.

    We run back to your house,

    The lights are still on,

    And they cover your freckled face,

    Like it's the sun.

     

    The grass brushes our feet,

    And the wind catches in your hair,

    We sit out on the sand,

    The fog covers the sky,

    And blankets the world,

    Like a shield. 

     

    The waves nip at our feet,

    The water's cold

    But I'm warm because you hold my hand,

  • observation i

    We stand on the dock,

    The sun has set,

    But I can see your happiness 

    Even in the dead of night.

     

    The streetlight's on,

    The metal is all rusted

    And covered in salt,
