shine

the sun is shining

i watch it gleam gold

like your hair.

the sun is shining.

staring into it,

i feel i could go blind

and that would be okay.

the sun is shining,

and it won't let me forget

what you and your sunny hair

did to me.

i remember.

i will always remember.

because staring into the sun

may make me blind,

but it can't erase my memories

the way it takes my sight.

the sun is shining,

and i feel like icarus,

i want to feel the burn race up my limbs

as the wax melts and i crash.

the sun is shining.

and it hurts.

because i see you in the spots

that dance in my eyes.

and you are smiling

over my crumpled body

watching me burn

in the painful sunlight.
