I spoke amongst the stars
Rolling pebbles on my fingertips
Foraging for depth
In the breeze of volumes you breathed.

The air followed no formula
I inhaled, choking on fireflies
As they only manage to gleam
When I turn away

Sopping wet from misconstrusions
The sweat dripping onto me
Tastes like lies
Reaking a proof, percent and concentration
My liver couldn't fathom

And you say to me
"A sunrise compares not
To dusk
Anyway.
A girl such as you
Has many an opportunity
To catch a glimpse."

I plead to disagree
As the fireflies retreat to slumber
I plea to myself
To fake enthusiasm
A little bit better.

And I slip fire down
Swallow silently
Knowing well,
I will save my sunrise for another day....
