Is This A Sign?

A Boy With Roses

The night is bittersweet like ecstasy
Revered by the paintings we paint 
Burnished smiles aching by the lake
Silent as we speak

Listless waves come back to me
I remember your name
In an antiquated sea of marigold
As ripe as the words we use 
Whistling blues, seldom here
Waiting for me 

Is this a sign?
Watching the leaves falling 
Sleep is a privilege
And I can't sleep tonight
The moon opines 
Who's going to be popular now?
I eat the sky 
I ride the bus to somewhere new 
Writing love letters
At night, I wonder are you gay? 
With your dark triad traits
Do you think of me like I think of you? 

Resting my elbows on oak
Stained with cigarette ash
I can't help but think of you
Smiling at your cold embrace 
I was a king in my dreams 
But when I'm with you
I feel like nothing 
Drowning in a faceless dream
Enveloped by everything.

    I haven't cried at a poem in a while... but now I have. Yes, sleep is a privilege. Astute observation!
