I look into your soft eyes
In an empty town
With bright lights
Full of dark souls
Please save thee
From this carnal crave
I cannot contain a true self in this
superficial desire
I fight to fix on the sweet hues of each eye
Blinded by fluorescent reflections from all directions
You you you
I want to focus on you
But my senses are overloaded with too much
If I could take the glassy eyes from these temporary joys,
I’d have a beautiful mosaic full of all the colors and moments
I crave theses chases
These tastes
Because in these fleeting moments I get to forget you
And you
You
Are this desire of permanence
Not the temporary
I want to attribute a face but honestly,
I know that I can’t imagine the truth of my forever in this moment
