Fainting Goat

I can't shake the feeling

That I'll never be one of them

Girls with lives made of honey and laughter,

Girls with someone who looks at them

Like they're laced with something unknown and magical,

Friendship

Is magic to me.

The light in your eyes

The glow in your smile

The thoughtful pause

Before you speak.

Your laugh and your joy

Your heartache and pain

How sometimes

We even talk

Revolution One:

Fear is a tip-of-the-tongue sensation- 

“What-ifs” so broad you can taste them

but never fully articulate them.

This year,

I want my family and friends to be safe.

I want them to be happier than they ever imagined.

I want to see smiles that shine brighter than the sun.

I want to hear laughter that last forever.

This year,

cover my eyes so i can see you better 

my night shadow, cloaked in delicious mystery, 

your hand, forbidden fruit, holding mine 

under the waning light of a summer's day. 

i wish
