i thought love was supposed to stay,

to soothe my hurt from the past.

i thought love was never gray,

or it will forever last.

"you're so... beautiful" the words i uttered the moment your lips left mine and then i opened my eyes.

a laugh escaped your throat, your arms pulling me closer to your heavenly body, "but my love, this being you claimed as beautiful is a man".

"well, you're the most beautiful man I've ever seen, touched—" you eagerly captured my lips, my eyes fluttered close once more,

"and purely tasted",

my last words ended into soft murmers.

"you hurt me so badly yet i still love you and i don't regret a single thing."

I’ve started thinking of people as wounds / that don’t heal.

… I could be lost then located on the porch of a house on a mountain in a huge, western place that kept bleeding stars as if there was no wound deep enough for being alive.

Ray Gonzalez, from “Satellite,” Beautiful Wall  (via lifeinpoetry)
