dalliance

dalliance

(n)

; A brief love affair.

you see, he's the type of addiction that rips your soul open. always craving for his open heart, the innocence. you are always burning and hurting without him knowing the damage he's inflicting everyday.

he smiles my way, never at me, but it leaves me aching all the same.

his soft heart cannot bear the darkness of this place.

i long to hear his lips forming the vowels of my name.

an augmented reality that leaves me aching for days.

what sort of infatuation leaves the soul wide open

the burn his smile leaves in every darkened moment

the feeling i experience staring out in the ocean

cannot ever compare to the words he'd spoken

the memories of summer remains to be the only thing he'd impart

of the constellations we promised on seems so far apart

he never picked up the splattered pieces of my heart

the pain i feel i can only call art

still he smiles and it never cease to leave me breathless

picturing the warmth in his eyes, i lie awake, restless

though the weight of his words feel like home

i am not surprised when i end up alone.
