Honey drips from my mouth,
an endless cascade of gold
sickly sweet and clingy viscous,
gluing my lips together in a
delicious wall of sugary words
and silence.
Pry it free from sticky amber,
let the bitterness flow instead
like angry bees exiting their hive.
Stingers made not of poison nor
vicious intent meant to harm,
but of brutal honesty.

**i’m just a confused little girl
who has never been in love
who has never known how
to care for others but myself
but here i am, phone in hand
staring at my screen like
all the answers are there
waiting for your reply
the wait can seem long, foolish
but every response sends a thrill -
an electric shock to my heart
sends warmth through my bones
and thinking of you brightens my
seemingly pointless day with your
too small smile and knowing gaze
your excitable energy and quiet voice
is this love? or am i just a fool?
a fool who has fallen completely for
your unattainable thoughts and
your hidden scars and pains
i’m not sure anymore honestly
i’m the confused little girl after all
who has never been in love
but has always wanted to give it a try
so why not try now?**

**honey eyes and saccharine smiles --
flecked with secrets i'll never know
creased with laughter from long ago --
they greet me every morning
and turn my bones into glittering stardust
alive with the need to explore those
freckled constellations and
luring me into sweet temptation
to wander into the galaxy inside that
beautiful mind**

*a dance for two
just me and you
back and forth
back and forth
between bodies
singing along
to the same song
music flows
music flows
between hearts
a sweet melody
sets us free
out of time
out of time
between souls
a real connection
of pure affection
between bodies
between hearts
between souls
between us*

***i've never been good with crushes
never been good with
not getting attached to those i like
because when i fall for someone i leap
into a bottomless pit of
happiness and sadness entertwined
and when those feelings aren't returned
then where does this,
this useless crush, leave me? nowhere.
i am left with nothing to catch me
as i free fall into pain
a pain i hoped would never happen, but
i knew what was coming when i lept
i knew the risk i took
but still, it just hurts so **** much
because i've fallen for you
and i don't know how to stop
so i keep fallin' til i reach the end***

looking into her brown eyes, i am reminded
of the hot chocolate i drink during those
chilly days, as winds whip around me in a
maelstrom of biting cold; her warmth flows
through my body, dethawing the frozen
heart i've kept covered in ice for so long

*soft brown hair falls down her back as she
swings; back and forth, back and forth.
the metal chain creaks beneath her weight
higher and higher she flies above me,
while i can only watch in amazement.
she laughs, tells me to stop staring and start
swinging too, but I can only see her;
her and the sun that shines bright behind her
illuminating her figure in the sky like a bird:
beautiful and luminescent, gliding on clouds
humming sweetly and soaring freely
and even as i lay here, eyes closed and heart
slow, i can still see her silhouette flying,
pink lips grinning wide, ochre eyes twinkling
and for a little while i let myself grin too*

*the days are long and full with skies of gray
yet the smile you wear keeps the clouds at bay
though this may come as a common cliche
you are beautiful in every single way
hold my hands in yours, tell me what you feel
let me understand the you that you want to hide
give me a piece of yourself, something real
tell me what you love, all your joys and pride
days spent making you happy are never a waste
time with you is a gift I hold close to my heart
with every touch, my stomach seems to have misplaced
all the butterflies, as they fly high and depart
you draw me in 'til I know nothing but your grin
your lips, your voice, your name, and everything you are within*

***You with the brightest of sunshine yellows
Bold and bright, unafraid to show yourself
You were the sun
Her with the calmest of ocean blues
Intelligent yet soft, a beauty to behold
She was the sky
You tethered her to your side in the day
Then, carelessly, left her alone at night
Instead of love, you felt nothing but like
So instead you ignored her feelings
Without you, she would die
But without her, you would survive***

*Look away with those guiltless eyes
Whisper to me your most beautiful lies
To have and to hold when I'm under the stars
Beneath a sky that would always be ours
Give me the hope to carry on this feeling
Lend me the strength to stop concealing
Because I just can't do this on my own
Holding up our world when I'm all alone*
