bright eyes and longing stares falling towards the sidewalk
eyes can't stand the strain of contact so they downturn towards feet
hit floor and shatter
smiles have to hide themsleves for fear of comfort
just getting comfortable again in my own skin
used to the lack of yours pressed against it
but it just took one glance and i'm burning again
like your flesh is fire and i need nothing more than to be consumed in you
wrapped in the warmth of that same smiling gaze now twisted
turning in air as it plummets past the patience we've both run out of
in mid air we both sigh averting our eyes as whatever might have been follows suit and strikes sidewalk
i'm shattered
sent sprawling out in a thousand pieces of divided heart and mind
lungful of words choking back screams and holding hand tight over my eyes like my memories of you are too blinding
the sun really is too bright to stare directly into
i tried several times to will myself to just keep your eyes locked in mine but we both stuttered
turned heads and looked away like children
we should've lauged it off
shrugged and smirked, continued our cigarettes and just relaxed
but we couldn't
too uncomfortable in your own skin to even meet my gaze but it doesn't help not to look because everytime i close my eyes i can still feel you
fingers laced between mine and that smiling gaze placed upon me
laughing with my arms around your waist holding you closer
we almost had that, if only for just a moment
then our eyes fell towards the floor again
and that time almost shared shattered
sitting at our feet in pieces, it gave us something to look at
besides what's right in front of us both
but i guess looking back at the broken past is easier than a future that might be hard to glue back together
