We're Only Words To A Mayday Parade Song [Sing Along For Me, Baby]

I thought i could always dance in the sunlight of your
  irrevocable,
                    inevitable,
    i r r e s i s t a b le
                                    smile.

2 a.m., 3 a.m., 4 a.m.,
      The sidewalks swept away your body,
my ears plastered to my phone,
              ringing all of my innocence dry,
with your voice breathing resistance into my hopeless demeanor.

[Your words echoing that it was only another forgettable summer,
A feeble attempt at a Harlequin romance.]

Nights of stars sucking up all of the clouds away,
forming constellations above our eyes,
breath misting up our own mini storms,
&tongues forming tiny wars within our mouths.
             

[A forgettable summer,
          Another stupid summer…]

When the blinds emptied the sky perfectly between your brows,
&our bodies outstretched out of last night's flickering lights,
when you laid against me,
    you slept away a perfect lullaby.

[&i'll confess that i was naive,
as long as you tell me that you were wrong.]

You let the pieces shatter right at my bedside,
so when i awoke from my dreams,
I could stand in all the mess you'd made.

[Choking on "forevers" you laid perfectly under my tongue,
the conversation you thrust between my teeth,
&the words you twisted inside my cheeks.]

&Now i'm only breathing in dirty oxygen
mixed with the:
left-behind-never-cared-for stench
                            that looms in my room.


[You'd simply lift my head,
                  kiss my lips,
tell me to erase all of those memories.
well, i went & marked them in my calendar instead.]

You watched all of those tears fall,
        as the daffodil petals cascaded out of my hands,
  &you never stopped staring at my quivering lips,
        You said, “they were too beautiful to pass up.”
  But you were always good at lying.

[You grabbed my shoulders,
      thrusting your fingernails in my shoulder blades,
as I pierced your lips with a “shush”
“tell me,
speak to me,
        look in my eyes &tell me everything was for nothing.”]



Just tell me you were wrong.
