Beautiful Sadness
Erick Arvizu 1980 (Williamsburg, VA)
There’s a beautiful sadness
When I look at you
My hands shake uncontrollably
With what I’m going through
I imagine you and I
As I’m kissing your soft lips
My arms around you
Resting at your hips
We talk and laugh
About the silliest of things
Close to each other
With our breath it sings
The back of my hand
Caressing your cheek
Your warm smile melts me
What was stone becomes weak
In those fleeting moments
I could stay there and die
But my heart knows the truth
It’s just a beautiful lie
