Moonlight on Your Ceiling

You’re tracing shapes

In the dust on my TV

Bare feet on the floor

You lean back

You just breathe

Laugh in my sweatshirt

Neckline sliding off your shoulder

You say you hate your hair

I say stay a little longer

You put the moonlight on your ceiling

Every time you look at me

Colors dripping from the weekend

Onto crumpled white sheets

If this is nothing

Why’s it feel like

I’ve been waiting all my life?

You put the moonlight on your ceiling

And you call it “just tonight”

Your lipstick on

The rim of my old glass

You talk too fast

Then you kiss me

Let it pass

Phone face down

Buzzing somewhere in the blanket

You say “I should go”

But your hands won’t let you make it

You put the moonlight on your ceiling

Every time you look at me

Colors dripping from the weekend

Onto crumpled white sheets

If this is nothing

Why’s it feel like

I’ve been waiting all my life?

You put the moonlight on your ceiling

And you call it “just tonight”
