Screaming, Silent Affections

A love poem

You and I sit hand in hand 

on that stupid swing set from that stupid park

a million empty thoughts fill my busy head 

like bees in a hive, only, all the bees are dead

 You look over at me, and I swear my heart stops 

I'm dead for 60 seconds, and your smile brings me back to life

I wish, I want, I need you

You need, you want, you wish for me too

On every shooting star

or birthday cake candle

I feel like I'm falling through the cracks in the floor

melting in your warmth 

"I hate you" 

I break the silence

"I hate you more" 

and that is when I know

I loved you more than anything then

on that stupid f*****g swing set 

from that stupid f*****g park 

at night when everything stood still 

and I bathed in the time that we shared 

the time that passed without us

because where we were time didn't exist

I want to live in this feeling 

of silently yelling affections 

and your stupid, gorgeous face
