The Alley Outside of 7/11: An Anthology

by The Red Parade

face//your fears

The other night

I had a dream

I saw your face

It scared me

And it hurt me

Because I left you

You’re not here anymore, just

A nightmare

A ghost

Do you know that I love you?

Vinyl

Octavia

I see your face

I hear your voice

And it hurts me

And it scares me

Because one day you might leave me

Your face is beautiful

Your dreams are luminous

In ways I can’t describe

And when I look into your eyes

I feel that I’m not enough

I know that you deserve

My love, I fear that I will lose you

Tavi, I think I’m going to lose you

But

I know that it’s worth it

Your love makes this worth it

I love the way you smile

And I love the way the stars shine and in your eyes.

I’m scared, but I love you.
