I'm at the bottom of the ocean standing hopeless showing signs That if I had a bottle of your decisions I'd drink them up and forget mine I would let you break my bearing Drag me down until I sink You would  flood all of my airways while you pushed me past the brink And i'd allow it. It's such a beautiful despair The way you replace all my air You soak up every living piece of me and I concede without a care Chained and locked away there's no time left for desperate measure I'm standing at the bottom of the ocean Like your forgotten buried treasure.

Precious Metal
I sit here miles away from my heart. Typing and deleting, typing and deleting, these pointless words into this phone. And for the first time in a long time I'm experiencing something new. A weight, this tiny little phone feels like a cinder block and as crazy as this sounds I think what I'm feeling is all this pain I'm causing you. At the edge of my fingertips, and this phone is you, it's the pain, it's my regret, it's the only thing I have to bring myself to you.

Too often do we fall in love off the rim of a bottle Masking & Diluting the putrid tastes with something sweeter Drinking each other in, more and more Letting it consume us till finally A sickness overwhelms The memories turn to black and you get sick of the taste

Grip
one You took it from me You smiled as you thrusted You said you were drunk two You were perfection I pretended you were one Then everything changed three   You smoked cigarettes You listened said I was not alone I cheated on two four You were just a friend You kept asking if I was okay You knew I wasn't five Blue eyes and shyness You mended with tender love Then you left for good three   We ****** just to Feel magic wore off, we were dull mutual rebounds six You were wild and fun You said I was lovable I felt whole again seven I was much too drunk Your friends heard us through the walls I don't regret you eight Your scar turned me on So did your smile and your laugh You made me feel valued five  the goal was small talk we were drunk on nostalgia we loved one last time eight  You're warmth and patience eager hands and tender lips My soul loves Your soul

Haikus for the ones before you
I can’t pop bottles in the club or make it rain on these hoes I can’t fix the pain you’ve experienced I can’t promise that what I give you is enough But; I can give you my time I can give you my daydreams and my goodnights I can give you my hands; you can have them to hold you, to write melodies of your indulgence at my fingertips I can give you my lips, to trace the creases on your body, to speak love songs about your intellect They will always remind you of your beauty and your importance I can give you my company, to fill the space between the heartaches, and the congratulations You will always know that you are my definition of beauty. you are always worth it. You are endlessly loved I can’t give you the world. But; I can give you my world.

Thinking on the Spot
You are a day dream taking captive of my mind freeing me to get lost in whatever story we decide a body provoking my hands to embrace every inch of you and my lips to write love poems up your thighs You are beyond compare you sparkle brighter than the diamond beneath your ear and you cut twice as deep you are a divine love with poise and seduction that radiate from your soul And in any lifetime, no matter how far, I would find you.

Definitive
Oh. I wanted to taste you But I've got a bad habit of keeping you in the back of my throat And I haven't figured out how to keep you from slipping into my chest I wanted to leave bite marks on your neck and hand prints on your ******* soul Oh. I shouldn't have ****** you. Because I knew you could become the Sun So beautiful and full Too tempting not too touch and impossible to hold onto I know the rays sunshine in your eyes that convince me the poison in your words tastes like sweet honey Could be all I ever wanted.

Valentines Rays
I'm starting to wonder whether love is an emotion or a train of thought Whether we love to make the day brighter or we love because it's the only thing left to not go out of style Because My eyes reach for the prettiest girl in the room and my hands find a way to tear every part of the sentiment out of my body when they get a taste of you and I don't think that has anything to do with my emotions but my hellish thoughts might. Or maybe, it's a bit of both. Because you can love someone with all your being but still break a heart. And you can dim the light inside your emotions so it is too hard for anyone else to see but still cry when nobody wants to take a closer look. Your heart could be in all the right places but if your mind puts the rest of you on top of the wrong place... Does your heart have any say in the matter?

Love with Your Whole Head
I disintegrate Again, At the thought of growing up growing old At the thought of Consequences Of making love (you actually do make something) I fall apart, At the thought of forever At the thought of How many times The sun will rise In my forever How many times Will you forgive me How many times Will you fall inlove with me again How many times Will you fall out of it How many times Will i almost give up How many stars fit in your always? I come together At the thought Of watching your hands Age and harden I come together At the thought Of lovers before you, Forgotten I look forward to the slow fading Of life before you As time passes and I realize I've been with you for longer, Than not You are the ink On my polaroid picture And Love is the oxygen That develops it You are the image That appears and Allows me to forget The blank space that Was there before You were that first sip Of water I drank before I knew i was dry And you are The last drop of water That leaves me Wanting more You are the moment I realized that looking up at flickering lights is just an ocean of other planets' suns You are a sun to a humble planet that only I find familiar you are my very own sun
