i saw itiswhatitisss post about how much they like my writing so i said fuck it time to write an ariana/personal inspired poem lol i love you itiswhatitisss
lately i've been so uninspired, confined to the 12 by 12 walls of my little room. so tonight i'll write about a world where there's still me with you
close my eyes to flutter them open again, butterfly wings taking me away to a certain dreamland
touch the dark gray tiled wall, bubble bath with our legs and hands interlocked, you and me and a world alone
-
pleading softly to assure me there's no need to measure my art to those on social media
i had the nerve to open my phone to compare until you touched it and it evaporated into the thinnest air
so of course we're ballroom dancing on some cirrus clouds
and when you told me you could take me to space, i never believed you until now
whisper in the shell of my ear and tell me it's a plan for another day
watching the cresting waves below, i tell you it's ok as long as it's you by my side anyway
-
but the dream only lasts so long
it's time i depart, waiting at a nearly empty station, my tears running ombre from blue to the deepest indigo
i can hear the ghost chains dangling from your pale feet, and if i depart to consciousness, you're never able to accompany
so your spirit entwines with mine, metastasize your love to all my tenderest pressure points
in my darkest hours i love you more than the man sleeping next to me
but i'm awakening by the minute so please kiss my cheek as you watch me leave
-
i pick my spot next to my grandmother, watching my childhood hamster run across the floor as i finally come to
as i remember my final words, not so long ago, only for the one who could never read this, the only one who could help me see this through
"save my tears in your mother's favorite handkerchief
i never needed a visit to a granite plaque in the grass just to prove my love for you"
