but you wont leave my head,
and i've already got half a library full,
of poems about you..

want.
L Jul 2013
i want your hands,
in mine.

i want your curls,
wrapped around my fingers.

i want your eyes,
looking at me.

i want your lips,
against mine.

i want your lungs,
                                 * to inhale me as i become the smoke,
                                                  
that fogs up the mirror of your mind,
                                                                  
and sinks into the deepest crevices.

*i want you.

but neither are any of you.

i'm ...
L Nov 2013
no i am not
what my father was/is
and what my mother was/is,
i am not even a combination of
the two,
instead i am alien
to my family tree,
because everyone related
have done well in life.

you had a home once,
not sure for how long.
but long enough to grow holes,
and begin to fade.

you were loved once,
maybe by a child,
or and adult stuck in their past.

your family abandoned you once,
left you in a plastic bag.
under their dresser,
to rot.

you were alone once,
for seven years so i've been told.
and you began to erode,
and you began collect dust.

you were found once,
and taken away.
you were cleaned,
and given a new home.

                                               you were loved again.

Come and See
L Mar 2023
"I'm treading carefully" you say
with lips that touch mine so sweetly
like warm chamomile that heats my body

A fire is meant to be kindled
and here you are stoking the flames
slowly and gently but
you swear you can't do it
that you're still too damaged

And so my flames die out and I wonder
is it worth trying to keep my fire
when we both know that
neither of us are able to nurture it
especially not right now

But one day I want you
to come and see if we can light it again

"take it day by day" they say,
but how can I do that when
some days are so beautiful,
with the sunshine upon my face
& the grass between my fingers.

but how can I do that when
some days the rug is pulled from under me,
with broken hands desperately reaching
& nothing to grab ahold of to steady me.

some days I drown and some days I swim,
but most days I just want to stay in.

— The End —
