Wanted to post this on here, since all of my poetry will be on here instead of myspace from now on.

My head rests on your shoulder
We watch the breathing leaves

I grip your knee with my knuckles turning white

I think I'm going to die tonight

I feel my heart pounding out of my chest

It keeps stopping

But

It keeps starting again

We've been through it all

Every season, and more than one fall

We've played both parts

The angel, the devil, and the child

Always in denial

We won't wear the rose colored glasses

We have bruises and scars

We've cut away from the masses

You keep saying we'll grow out of this

If we did what would we miss?

This love is our art, it's our canvas

We view the world from here

I am feeling your heartbeat

With my head on your shoulder

This is how we'll look when we're much older

The lines of time will crease our faces

We'll talk of old times and old places

We'll marry a promise

Take our souls to the outskirts of the world

Hold hands and lose time

Count clouds and forget

It's ours in our minds but not here yet

Can I hold on for the future?

Could I just live for this moment?

I'm not done here yet

There is still love to consume

Flowers left to bloom

I'm not going on yet

We haven't even met

This hasn't begun

There's a light coming up in the far corner of the sky

It's time to brush away the night and finally say goodbye

I lift my head slowly, heavily from your shoulder

The leaves are not breathing anymore

I feel I'm alive again

A second chance

The future is ready to begin
