To the lover of my lover
I love her

*Paintress (Interlude)*

This world was not of my creation
Nevertheless, I draw from its inspiration
I saw her beauty, only once towards the sky
We all saw it, as she left her monolith
Amongst hundreds of eyes
She becomes her art
She draws more clouds, and they appear
She paints a sunset, and the sky becomes evening
I am at a beautiful mercy
Though she leaves, shortly after

A spectacle to my mind’s theater
She gives off a three act run
And in each act she’s wanted
And in each act she’s captured

You get away first
Cracks form along this self-made ground
I knew your heart cared all along
You don’t have to stay and verify

She becomes her art
She’s now made of clay and soil
But I could still see myself holding her
She is still the one I’m in love with

I’m slipping through
And she keeps flowing
Floating thoughts of her
It has to be her body…

Her tattoos and silent eyes
Carry me through internal conflicts
She doesn’t know, and she has no idea
That she’s the cause of these discussions
Every time I picture her towel
Wrapped around her head
Instead of her body being covered
She covers her wet hair

I’m slipping through
And she keeps flowing
Floating thoughts of her
It has to be her body…
I’m imagining the best parts of her
Sides of her that she expresses
This feels too much like a calling
It has to be her body…

These things I think about you
I obviously can’t let them be told
I imagine the feeling of you
Resembling a cliffside breeze

It doesn’t work when I tell myself
Tomorrow, I will pretend not to know you
“Let’s go home”
I always think about saying
I miss out on so much
Locking myself away for you

My deep dive into your existence
My dearest expression
The struggle to contain my excitement
The way I give very little excuses
