Because I Can't Say It. by ~blackpearleyes

it's not a solution, she said some evenings,it's not a solution, she said by ~dreamsnhazel
i wish my emotions
were shoes,
with nerve endings
that i could untie
until tomorrow,
when i would double-knot them
and trudge on.
on a night like this,
i would look down at them,
caked in mud
and soul wearing thin,
and i would throw them
in the back of the closet.
curtains drawn,
i would retreat to my bed,
forgetting to set the alarm.


i dreamt you were a candle i dreamti dreamt you were a candle by ~dreamsnhazel
you were a candle,
standing silent
by the window pane.
the house was dark
and i stood
naked in your blonde glow.
you sang
songs of light
and shadow
on my frame,
echoing in the curves.
noticing the reservoir
at your wick,
i held you up to my nose,
breathing in
your warm vanilla skin.
i tilted your base.
your fingers burned
as they traced patterns
down my chest,
my stomach,
beyond.
i will lay back,
watch you dance
with your reflection,
feel your fingers
clench my flesh,
holding me close
in a night without moons...
