island eyes

you were that tiny little sliver of a piece of a whole that i had long been waiting for and you moved through mazes and untied hazy thoughts that circled around my head while i rested in bed faster than those before and with more conviction than those who have come after. it was something. something beautiful and something so fragile i only half breathed when i was around you too afraid that things would slip out from under my feet that seemed to be floating across the sky listening to your silent lullaby while we held two mismatched hands together despite their eyes and their lies and their their words interrupting and undercutting our time and making things fast forward when i was still fiddling with rewinding the times before they tried and later succeeded in burning a hole through a chapter of my heart that has been overlooked by many and only abused by some. you were in that moment for that second what i had long been anticipating and semi waiting for there you laid under the cloak of my hair falling around your face and locking you into my permanent vision of something i've since been missing when i have the time to admit it. you erased fears leaving only a smudge that still resides in my island eyes but for that i can simply forgive you because you were the place that made my heart race and for a second in those moments i can remember you made sense to the part of me that is still completely senseless
