a thanksgiving poem. by ~xhelenaxlovex:iconxhelenaxlovex:



Do you know what i'm thankful for?

i'm thankful for raindrops on tin roofs.
The way my breath forms a column of smoke when it's cold, as if i were some ancient dragon, just waiting to lift off and fly away.
The sound of footsteps over leaves in the fall, when everything dies.
The feeling of wet clothes drying in the summer sun.
The way your eyes show exactly what you're thinking.
The sound that my keyboard makes as i type out secret messages to you (nobody knows).
The way my ribs stick out of my back like that keyboard, just waiting for you to send me a response.
And the way you never will, because you're afraid you'll break me.

i'm thankful for catsteps on windowpanes.
The sun shimmering through cracks in the blinds in the early morning, when i can still pretend you're right here next to me.
The fluttery sound your heart makes when we're alone in the dark (especially when you're scared).
The way you whisper things in my ear, and i know i'm the only one who hears them (i'm greedy for those things-i hoard them like treasure).
The way your scent clings to my clothes.
The way you never want to let me go.

i'm thankful
And all those things you say things you say.
Things i know He never could have said.
Things He didn't mean when He said them.
Those things, that keep me through the days and nights.
Those things that break me, and put me back together again.
Those things that drip like honeyed poison from your eager lips.
All these things, and much more, i am thankful for.
