pink lights

pink lights,

friendly smiles,

arms and legs in

a mess

over each other,

cat in between.

soft and tranquil,

nerves and you’re still.

laughter’s contagious,

flowers are healing.

every wound inside stays open,

every tear that falls dissolves.

searching for a hand to hold

it’s the only thing on your map

x marks the spot,

over and over again.

that intimate touch when

two souls align. 

i’m getting tired

of the back and forth.

you’re all that’s in my mind

it’s destroying me inside.
