Never have I had a love

Never have I loved like this before. The burnt out fairy lights in the kitchen seem like galaxies as we dream of the planets we hope to visit. The passion shared between us fills my lungs as I breathe in your mango shampoo. As I do my chest burns but I love it because it hurts more without your sent. Slowly I melt your bones into mine mending our spirits together like the fate I don't believe in. 

The ghosts dance around us with jealousy. They only dreamed of a love like ours during their lives and now they crave it. The shadows part for us. We paint light through the ally as we take the shortcut back to our house. Darkness retracts as our footsteps part the sea of fear and rain pours to cleanse the ground where we walk. 

You loved the rain as you loved the scar on my cheek. You said it was like a word written delicately on a blank page. You said it was a beautiful thing to read so I showed you the books I had wrote along my skin. You cried for me but I wasn't sad. I was as numb as the winter months and I never seemed to make it to spring. 

Your tears watered my flowers until they bloomed so gracefully and terrifyingly. I tried to kill the flowers because I was afraid of them. It almost worked but once again your tears split like the blood form my veins and never again would I let you cry. 

We made the pain into a cake and served it to all of the people who didn't believe in me. We saved a piece for my brother and you came with me to give it to his grave. I planted one of the flowers from the bouquet we grew together and left him with all of my hurt. The only thing I could do was scream as I fell for you. Never have I loved like this before. And I never want to stop.
