BREATHE EVERY PANICKED GASP OF AIR LIKE MY LUNGS NEEDED IT BECAUSE SINCE THE MOMENT I SAW YOUR SMILE, IT LAUNCHED ME INTO THE STARS, PAST THE MOON SO I'VE LEARNT TO EXIST WITHOUT THE OXYGEN THAT I SUPPOSEDLY NEEDED.
i don't need as many things as i thought i needed anymore.
i don't need to strap gold around my neck, or rest silver upon my wrists.
because the stars were melting the moment i saw your smile, with the sparkle you stole from the stars and not many things mattered.
the sun found a way to combust and i watched everything burst into flames except the memory of your searing touch.
and for some reason, the galaxy never adjusted to try to re-assemble.

ευσεβής πόθος
don't breathe your flames of fire on me.
don't look at me like i'm about to break.
because you have shoved upon me every silence,
pressed the state of wordlessness
down my throat
so that when my mouth
wraps itself around letters
the only words i can form
are yours ;
so that in some kind of
alternate dimension
i could pretend
i found a way to take care
of myself
all the years you were supposed
to do it
and when you come back
i'm hope you can see
that i've grown
that i'm pressed suits
and maybelline finishers
that i'm high heels
and tied hair
and maybe you'd see
and someday
you'd want me again,
momma.
