rerun

The whole world whispers when you meet my gaze,

My eyes flutter closed as your lips meet mine,

And though it's forbidden, my heart still betrays. 

 

I know I should leave, but I always stay,

Fingers in your hair, our fates intertwined,

The whole world whispers when you meet my gaze.

 

And so this is goodbye until another August day,

The clock ticks; we've lost track of time,

And though it's forbidden, my heart still betrays. 

 

Breaths are now stolen, we silence our heys,

Your presence consumes everything else in my mind,

The whole world whispers when you meet my gaze. 

 

The moves are rehearsed, we fall back into this play,

Reprising our roles and you're a fault line,

And though it's forbidden, my heart still betrays. 

 

I ignore the noes; it means nothing anyway

But a million thoughts swarm and I can't deny

The whole world whispers when you meet my gaze,

And though it's forbidden, my heart still betrays.

  • sunflower seed salad

    I am thinner than I thought:

    Though my scale says I'm not,

    I can see the sour fruit I've caught.

     

    In the spring, the flowers call

    Like I could be King of them all,

    Burning in the sun before the fall.

  • dr. pepper

    not a cola or a root beer;

    something in between

    like a tortured machine—

    it will power down soon.

     

    that tang on your tongue

    is from my chewed up wires,

    lightning should show through smoke
