Basilica
by Jawbreaker· from Dear You
Sunken eyed best friend of mine. Why do you sit so still, still shaking?
Superhero sapped of all powers. I'll kneel beside you, watch you for
hours. There's an angel on you leaning down to kiss your cheek. Feathers
floating on air. This is my prayer for you. Steps of stone, morning
bright blue. Stick of flame, a candle winks at you. In the pew, head
down I'm crying. I think you have thoughts of dying. I'm eclipsing them
now. Calling all allies down. I'm consumed by your eyes. Keep them open
and full. It's raining in your room. Angel tears, bask sweet. Angel eyes
on you. They love all that they see. Dewy palm, cemetery lawn. Walk
alone in gardens of loss. You can't have a flower of stone. Never let
this soil come between us. I'm asking you on a date for the rest of your
life.
