i am a shipwreck
I'm funny like a heart attack You're as pretty as a car crash We could work like that

candor
the leaves all left you went west again i know you can't stand to see all that death i don't blame you those feet belong on the beach not between frozen lakes or forming paths over concrete please don't mind me trembling my palms are becoming mistakes you must've felt their fault lines so here's hoping san andreas keeps you safe safe and out of the cold safe from the quakes in my bones

I don't feel like reading words I'd rather stitch an iceberg You want a voice underwater Let's keep going on empty Breaking in style The means justify an ending Blues whites and lit skys The summer was on fire We felt it inside Things fell aside Cracks give way to more then more It wasn't deep just murky And I'm not reading anymore ******* words

rock bottom isn't as bad as the bottom of a bottle at least the sediment doesn't bury itself in your bones as the blood starts to run thin everything becomes poison with the right dose but I love how the *** warms you up and brings you and I closer to us

you're gonna carry that weight
Beginning to end again Head rush Sheets flutter Black out It took all morning to recover Starting to stop again Break lines A clean glass Burn holes I'm running and not stopping I've been gone Off and on Trains and highways Red eyes Hardwood floors Knuckles bleeding A little more Another hour One night longer Almost over See you soon Choke on 7 years Haunted house Deep blues I can always feel the storm coming

The reason I quit drinking is the same as why you started believing There's got to be something more The reason I quit praying is the same as yours for leaving There was nothing there A change in the weather is the reason I stopped breathing My mind went with the leaves Blood on the roof is the only reason I'll stop needing you Holding out until we were more than just blue Until the color spread all over We were dead set on getting over these feelings that won't leave Now I can't stop getting older You felt like summer was buried in the snow You felt like heaven You felt like novacane You left your mark You left me hanging from a tree in the backyard You left me "We know Stop writing about it" She's gone "Yeah we all know"

The Last One
I'm like a wave always breaking fast when I reach my peak It's funny how everything falls back to earth at the same speed But some how it seems faster When it's you Without a parachute When it's you Every second is a mile When it's you The ground feels like coming home When it's You I don't need anything else I am a wave that won't stop breaking

plunging breaker
Have you ever ran your fingers across bumps of Braille on a door sign? Ever wonder what it's like to be informed by a language you can't hear but feel? I can imagine When I read the contours of your body the slope of your cheeks or the valleys your hip bones leave behind When I find joy just sitting next to you eyes gazing into mine, without words I sense the stories you're telling Secrets only we know, an understanding tongues couldn't share on their own Alone together We were made for one another like the gears in a clock I touch your inner workings and tiny moving parts We are interlocked and spinning yet still we run out of time Separated but in sync our hearts beat harder for each mile in between What other communication do we need when we are tethered together like two kites on one string But for everyone seeing this who can only read about being the reason you're smiling I'll translate the feeling into Braille too so they understand how it feels to love you

Tactile Hearts
i sat alone collecting my thoughts i was caught up in a beehive of an evening infested with dreams drunken feelings fixed catalysts kick starting the slow burn down to our cells chemicals mixing + im overreacting as i imagine half my life hanging from the ceiling WE'RE ALL JUST CHEMICALS MIXING
