thin mystery
I've stared at the sun for too long and seen it set too many times. My eyes have gone blind and burned. I have tried too hard for too long and now my heart grows weak. I am diluted, I barely exist in a whisper and you can't even hold me when all I am to you is a thin mystery. Ephemeral like morning dew, I evaporate leaving only my taste in your mouth. All things are forgotten, no memory leaves an impression in the newness of thousands of crisp fallen leaves covering up what I once was. My skin is transparent and my blood is opaque as I am spread thin and blue across the sky. In the night, when all has gone quiet and dark, my tiny frozen stars rain down and I wish. Left with nothing to decide, I choose love again and again with motes of longing in my eyes, barely recognizable from all the times I have been reborn and rewritten.
