Roses in My Lungs
  All I know is that
  I used to try and isolate it,
  to pinpoint what it is
  I fell in love with,
  but I soon realized that
  it is undefined.
  It never quite tasted the same
  day after day.
  I was so in my head and
  you were so out of yours
  that I’m not sure whether we
  imploded
  or exploded.
  All I know is that
  I tried to acertain the stars,
  map out the sky and
  open a new dimension
  where we could finally
  learn how to dream.
  I wanted to tip the scales
  in our favor and know that
  no flower on the path
  we trod was in vain.
  All I know is that
  my tears grew wings
  to disappear,
  trapped in the illusion
  of something real.
  When I think of you
  at 2 am
  I know that it’s the
  magnificent work of
  chaos:
  when an angel
  falls in love
  with a demon.
  All I know is that
  You stole my breath and
  planted roses in my lungs.
  They are oh so pretty,
  but now, I can’t breathe.
