to the old days when he had young eyes flecked with sunburnt skies and rolling spring forests, cheeks flushed with coral blush windflowers and painted with bronze splashes over his nose, breeze kissed

to the old days when his hair was a a flowing mass of gold beginning to turn brown at the roots, chocolate rolling into toffee into cornflower meadows, starkissed with night sky wishes, blowing dandelions to kiss the thinlips of the crescent moon, holding the hand of esme

in which he'd scribbled strings of misspelled words with missing letters over the underside of his bed when his parents were fighting and he was still so young that he was scared

deer essme,

i lov yoo that my hart herts

hold me, essme

when he was young the trees were

s k y s c r a

with crowns of green dew

shaking from the sky

live your childhood dream, my love

the sky whispered

oh esme

when he was so young that he could

barely

remember(remember((remember)))

the backyard that he lived in

where the flowers were petaled supernovae

spiriting away like the

wind of a butterfly's wings

oh esme

remember that cold summer day

ice cubes melting between your

young lips

when you were 10 and he was 4

when you told your baby brother

live

your

childhood dream,

my love

live it with me when the world is too cold just let it all fade when you are lonely lets lie in the meadow in the shade ill never leave you my love

ill be the sunlight dancing between crosshatched leaves and a world where no punctuation is needed we could change the world and make laughter the common language and dreams can only be taken away by yourself / lets run away and we will only fade away together we will always be the same constellation

/hiding under the bed,

cradling his fragile heart

as your parents wage war

against your world. back

when you shared that world.

when you'd tell him "live

your childhood dream, my

love" and "i'll always protect

you," oh esme, oh esme, did

you know then that you lied?/

brother and sister

a small seedling wavering against

the summer sunset

looking into his sister's face as if

he could fall up into andromeda and

she'd still catch him.

in truth she was just a dying star

but no, esmeralda lied

she said she'd never leave

you but even at 10 she was

dead inside, lying to keep

you alive, telling you stories

to give you false hope,

giving you her feeble heart

strings instead of a real

life line

oh, esme,

oh esme,

did you know then that you lied
