I Can't Dance With You

by

Mx. Jupiter

The reason I can't dance with you

Is I can no longer hear my heart over the rain

Falling against my cheeks

The mutilated music emitting from my throat is constricting my breath

The scars on my skin are blooming like roses caught in the fire spreading
through my soul

My hands are like serpents,

Your skin like porcelain

The constellations mapped out on your skin

You are my infinite universe of possibilities

And I'm afraid I'll get lost in the what-ifs

I'm afraid I'll get lost in you or my mind and I won't be able to tell
the difference
