it all started with closed eyes,
and a feeling in my gut telling me
I need to keep them shut the whole time.
because if they opened even for a second and I saw your lips
they'd suck me in like black holes when they bend light.
and it was then I realized you were not my world.
you were my universe.
sometimes when I look up I see stars that cut through the sky and fade so quickly into nothingness
and I pray you aren't as fleeting because when we're lying in roads I get the same feeling
that gravity will just turn off and i'll fall endlessly into something much larger than I am.
and I wonder if that's what it's like to die.
