midnight.

it is midnight and the clocks are chiming in the almost-silence. the sky feels like rain and somewhere, some girl is dancing and laughing and smiling, but she's certainly not me.
our hearts are cold. they've been sleeping, curled into themselves for too long without a blanket or a pillow or a smile to fall back on. it's midnight and the sky feels like rain and there's going to be a storm later, but it won't match the storms inside, that's for sure.
we are biting our nails, smiling and pretending nothing is wrong and saying, yes, darling, i'll get rid of this horrible habit in the morning. it'll all be better to

i like to pretend i can write.

because i am a cynic today.today you give yourself away
to roads
seen only through windows wet with rain; a sign says
we are fifteen minutes out of town,
but we say we are two years out of luck
you surrender to a map
(but it can never be of life)
and so we are still lost
and no,
we will not find god here. because i am a cynic today.

damn.you sit, staring at cracks in white walls. lyrical memories
repeat and your only thoughts are of this summer –

how on diving boards, you hesitate before
jumping; how on friday nights
you reject
drunken bonfires for a hole you dug
in the sand
to hide from noise;
how red 'x's are scratched

on papers, crumpled
and left in corners
and how turning right
isn’t always possible. damn.

a promise.i am
a summer day, riding a bike and
crashing; i am scarred, scraped knees but i am
healing. i am in a city of leaves, hiding
from letters and numbers. i am the ice pressed against skin,
raising goosebumps; i am the powder drifting from the sky,
and i am the grass peeking from underneath white.

i am life. a promise.
by ~Amertie

a poem about your skin.you are covered
by land, a lithosphere, a continent sprinkled with snow. i watch
sky-water run off your surface, leak into cracks. i name your freckles after cities,
your eyes after oceans. you are a world, my world, but this
is only a layer. a poem about your skin.

[this is what i wish to write like, like a song or a dream or maybe both or sleep walking.
like you're falling into something bigger than yourself and it's alright, it's wonderful, it's magic.]
