my legs
are covered
in spots of paint
and a non existent tan
and the hair that brushes
my neck
sticks
as the sun
falls down from the sky
and into my open hands
the nail polish
on my toes is chipped
and instead
dirt has worked its way into the
gaps
I like the breeze that dances across my skin
on warm nights
when the flowers
have fallen asleep
and the bumble bees
that bounce
through the soft air
that clings to the skin under my t shirt
do you remember
that day
when we sat in the grass
the sun pouring into our smiles
and you tied my hair into knots
and told me I was beautiful
some days
I miss you so much
my heart tries to claw its way
out of my chest
thinking about how much I want to fall
asleep with my head on your
chest
instead
I close my eyes
and let the sunshine
turn my eyelids
bright red
and hope I put on enough sunscreen
