I feel like I have spent my life trying to keep steady on shifting sand Never being able to relax and take a full breath Never being able to feel like I've found a home for body or soul Will I ever find a place to plant my feet safely?

Shifting sand
I sit by your side and feel the creep of panic set it I can feel myself getting distracted and feeling more than I should More than I'm allowed I try desperately to push it down Pretend my heart is cold I seem to forget that you aren't an option You don't want this Want me My silly heart is going to shatter me and I can't seem to stop it

Bruised
Loving you is like holding a dandelion in a storm I cup my hands and try to keep you safe The wind takes pieces of you away from me with every gentle breathe Until there is simply nothing left to hold onto

Fragile
I think I lost myself along the way I spent so long putting you back together that I somehow missed that I was taking bits of myself to fill in your cracks What is holding me together? I simply don't know anymore

I think I lost myself
It's easy to forget I have feelings I bury them so deep I lose all my words until it feels like I never had anything to say in the first place

A quiet void
Falling in love feels a lot like falling apart and falling together over and over again

Fall apart
Today you pulled me into you and pressed your mouth softly against my head Your hands warm and solid against my back Your laugh cut through my chest and I fell in love with you I don't think I'll ever tell you but it scares me I want to tell you to jump with me That you'll be okay with yourself and it's okay to find that happiness in yourself while you find it with me But I can't push this I wish you could see what I do But for now I'll love you and let you give yourself what you need It's a shame for now that isn't going to be me

Nervous love
You gave me just enough oxygen to light myself on fire

Flames
I'm sitting in my kitchen It's dark and I feel alone You're in my bed so close but I feel so disconnected to your sleeping mind right now Do you think about everything I think about? What could be or how it could fall apart? How your fingers don't touch me the same way theirs do? Or how your voice brings calm to my mind like nobody else could You might be my happy place and I hope it doesn't scare you I wish I knew what you thought about this About us Maybe one day you'll tell me

Happy place
When you're with me all I think about is you How you touch me How you taste Your sweet words comforting me and softening my chest But when you're gone my mind pulls it all apart Tearing the memory apart until I'm sure I was in it alone
