Your name is like stardust
I can taste it when I say it
Your face is made of moonbeams
Sculpted into a prayer for friendship
Your heart is as full and sweet
As the ripest of berries can be
And your love
Is a vast as the sea.
Looming over your shoulders
Each stack higher than its former
Every thought and every scrap
Of an idea too scared to ponder
Every moment that hurt
Each minute that lingered longer
How do I push the words out
From behind my taffy tongue
Thick with salty tears
And full of grubby thumb
I’m a child
Pretending that I’m numb
To escape the overwhelming feelings
