Untitled
i had the weirdest dreams last night / and finally, *you weren't in them.*

it's almost like when Vincent van Gogh ate yellow paint because he believed it would make him happy / i want to engulf your passionate fury and turn it into something we can both share / trying to spin the wheels on your spiderwebbed heart and watch the cogs rotate around a new start

on hold
it's nearing 3am and i can't really breathe comfortably / i'm thinking of being somewhere else / thinking of seeing new things

Sometimes I want to peel the skin back from my body and expose you to the skeletal system too dry and brittle to hold all of my sadness in / And other times I want to replace my deflated organs with the brightness of your eyes and watch emotions and balance play out perfectly in front of your body / You have the world behind those eyes and I want to fall into them. Get lost in them. I want to lay blankets and pillows down in your eye sockets and sleep to the rhythm of your blinking. I want to fan myself with your eyelashes and warm myself with your tears.

i was so afraid of losing you / that i held you tighter / but i was so afraid of holding you

i used to think it mattered that you never wanted to talk to me / i also used to think it mattered that everyone else got the chance to know you and i didn't / but you're just a person

finally, for now
my favorite person to talk to / is myself

i write too much about love / for someone who's never experienced it

size 6 feet (edit)
i don't have a perfectly messy ponytail / my hair is chopped and styled in all the wrong directions / my skin is always too oily no matter how many times i wash my face in a day
