Dancing in the cloudlessness
A vision of what I thought was
But now realize could never have been
Because
Nothing's perfect like a memory
Dressed up in hope and drenched in regret
Twine your fingers through the blades of grass
While flashes of flesh shine through
Cuts and slits in the skin of the water
And shrieks of excitement try to drown
Out the fear of rejection standing shadow
To every wink and come hither stare.
Leap into this
Beg for the pain
Pine for joy
And live with devastation
Hunger for a drop of something pure.
Just one taste to kill and cure.
