Heavy Like a Bomb


I was so
Happy it could not escape from my throat
Utter it and it would shatter and though
The shards would turn to liquid
They'd swallow me whole
warmer than a blanket

I am stunned
shiver from the subtext
and scratch at my thumb
Shallow breaths a struggle fill up my lungs
Measured in a megaton

Though the head and the heart do deceive
My cup runneth over
it touches my lips
And before I can drink in it deep
The moment is over
It's not mine to seize

You can't hold the dawn
In a blink, it's gone

I was so
taken by the notion though scared you might know
Walking on a razor, a heel over toe
Constant contradictions a definite blow
Would turn me into wreckage

With your hands
crossed above my collar I swear I could dance
It could be so simple, don't misunderstand
Cheek against your temple I push back a strand
Clinging to a whisper

You were so
grateful that I held you
You wouldn't let go
Caught in the confusion
with heaven in tow
We can never turn it back
to a second ago
and dwell in the perfection
