~Slow Burn~

maybe I'm
slow maybe
my book still
has pages
missing in
the middle

if I'm
lost, I
want someone
to care enough
about me
to put a light
our in
a dark place

feel it
in your
blood vibrates
growing on
me every night
cornflower blue
smooth and night

if you
like
it it's
beautiful even
though I
don't know
what it is

it's a
slow burn
but I'm ok
with that now
I still have
a lot to learn

wishing on
a shooting star
got me
to keep
my feet
on the ground
somehow
