What the Heart Desires
Can we forget about reality?
Jump into the sky and
Swim as if we were in the ocean,
Like summer a few years back.
Don’t hold me too delicately,
I’m not about to shatter
Like the dreams I dreamt
About our future.
Can I throw the bad thoughts away?
Pretend they were never
Crawling through my mind
Like parasites.
Don’t talk if you can’t speak.
I’m not about to wait.
If there’s nothing to say
We might as well bid our farewells.
Tie up my heart in yours
And throw it off the edge of the earth
So that when we part ways
It won’t hurt our empty chests.
