our brief moments, forever.

as sweet as honey,
you stick to my mind
like a memory.
suck nectar from my veins
and i'll feed on your lightsource.
make me unfold the moments
we can't escape
as people walk by our mirror
just to see themselves,
reflected.

reality is so subtle
in times like these.
it's a pinched nerve
shaking you awake,
it's your knee touching mine,
it's the seconds standing out
in the company of hours
and selling us
on its longing.

as sweet as honey,
you are the taste of sugar
long after my tongue
wastes its time with diction.
you are the brief moment
broken by forever.
