I'm just trying to realize why I do things and why they matter to anyone
We ran through that house like we lived there Cursing the filth and praising the clutter The amount of stuff, another persons life It was ours to desecrate, it was ours And I spent all winter (or **** near all winter) Trying to get warm And I lost all my time to the intricacies of your youth Only to find it in my room at night Those nights killed me in the way one kills time Now I spend all summer trying to get cool My blankets big enough for two, there's plenty time to run through **** me with those eyes that drown me in hope And I hand over everything I've ever known for an hour in your presence

I let my face rest in the rising rain water My muscles were relaxing Drops fell on my neck freshly The rain fell light and even As I laid I sank in I wanted to be gone Sink into the nothingness of matter Be of and separate of nothing I was content with complacency But you pulled, you did not fight You showed me how great it was being more than you were How truly eminent you could be The way we make ourselves You cried out, "Look we are clean now, the rain has cleaned us" So I rose and so did you "Let's be of and separate of each other"

Of Being and Nothingness
How is one to be one's own All there is to feel is disdain What else is to be shown To feel anything, especially happiness, is pain "Nothing is original": Teenage Anthem No truer words have ever been written Emotions can't belong to any of them They're sent via a social subscription All one's thoughts are already said ever so splendidly Force fed back to the mind (a reminder of the artfulness not of thyself) that couldn't vocalize The poet says "It's nice to not be alone" all too friendly No words have been a greater weapon to terrorize To not be alone in the feeling of apathy is all one needs to feel at ease...

Less Original by the Thought
Sometimes I press my palms into my eyes so that way I see blurry for a minute Everything feels surreal to me right now maybe I'm finally going to have that breakdown The one that's been building since age five It's odd, your eyes made it ok for a second and your smile another but I'm still pressing my eyes and I still feel funny

Your eyes are always so crinkled School must drain you so Always barely perceiving They were disheartening with melancholy in tow I'll never forget the night I realized your eyes No longer creased, no longer apathetic So round, so alive In this moment I realized that I had seen them before I saw a glimpse today Maybe it's too much to think that I made your eyes everything Everything I needed to be alrite I kissed your mouth that night A person like you could be good for me

Curtains
A very close call Still traced each other till dawn Your hands were pure white

Night 3
This time we spoke more Awkwardness aside, we were beyond infinite

Night 2
The First night was great Few words were spoken at all Your embrace; plenty

Night 1
My body burns like a furnace with you My heart yearns below the surface without you The way your hair smells The way your lips rest The way we trace each others' ghosts with our fingers; yours so perfect and white They make me anxious for your next words Your next smile Your next embrace
