moonflowers

moonflowers 
quiet, giant 
beneath the waning moon 
high rise apartment
million dollar loft 
borrowed for the weekend 
west side held us 
with steady arms,
on a king sized bed 
surrounded by art
i was following apart
but it all turns to anger 
and i couldn’t stop yawning
because all the fighting 
it makes me tired. 

how do you do it 
how do you love 
the ones you love?
when they’re so spread out 
and they won’t come close
& what are they so afraid of?

moonflowers 
blooming under the stars 
that can’t be seen by the city lights 
you laid your head back, 
and laughed 
then cried 
a tear dripped down your face 
on each side

how do i do it 
how do i be the one 
they will love?
with all my doubt 
it’s hard to come close 
what am i so afraid of?
