He is my sun,
rising on the horizon
promising me a new day
and a bright future
that I can only imagine
as it gets closer
with each passing second.
He warms my skin
as I warm to the thought
of the forever he promises to me.
And just when I accept
this is exactly what I want,
the sun sets on my dreams,
leaving consumed by the dark
left to wonder if I
imagined the whole thing
Until he rises again in the morning
and the process repeats.
I never get any closer,
always left hungering for more.
But just because I can’t catch hold
of the sweet nothings he promises me,
doesn’t mean I am not left
with a nasty burn
after a long day of chasing.
