I Am Not A Realist

Folder: 
2017

I wrap myself around these sound waves

so the memories don’t fall,

drown in starlight that will speak to me when you’re gone.

 

I am not a realist so I will cover my walls in sirens,

undo buttons I will never press,

romance when all the confusion collides.

 

I am not an artist so I will feel the change in altitude

without climbing high,

pull your misleading silver down over me.

 

I am not a soul to save but I will tell you how much I want it,

the absence of white noise,

this is such a good place to give up and fall.

 

I am not a realist but I will hold this together,

a heart born with the burning,

I am so delusional

I will drown in you and call it the best oxygen.
