“Why do you fear the stars?” He asked, his hands in my hair.
“Because as they fall
They burn their brightest,” I said.
‘And what if you’re not there to catch me?’ I thought as his lips met mine.

each step closer cracked the earth
dry, dusty breaths burned my lips
hot air seared my lungs
i can’t make it
i won’t
his eyes a deep, refreshing pool
cool breezes flowing out of reach
his smile beckoned like a rainbow
i can’t make it
i won’t
the sky is fire raining sparks
only he can quench my thirst
smoke pours from my mouth as i call to him
i can’t make it
i won’t
rain falls from his lips
my name a clap of thunder
his love a dark cloud
i can’t make it
i won’t
the cracked soil fills with water
mud rushed to my knees
skin sizzles in the flood
i can’t make it
i won’t
his eyes darken to mud
his arms raise the winds
his smile falters to lightening
water up to my neck
i lose sight of my oasis
i drown dying of thirst
i can’t

Your lips met mine
a sweet second
my lips found yours
a tender touch
A first
for a last
an only
for a lifetime

Sitting in
torture
under your thumb
calling your name
killing my soul.

the sun glints off his wet, dark hair,
the breeze pulls at his sun-bleached, torn shirt,
the kelp brushes his cold, bare toes,
the salt sticks in his still lashes,
the waves reach for his lifeless body,
I watch from behind my rock,
my alcove,
my arch,
waves push my body against barnacled surface,
his first mistake was being alone,
his second was listening to my song,
his last was our kiss,
holding him against my lips,
underneath the white foam,
I took his last breath,
I'll never love again.

I wonder if you listen to the same bands...
hold on,
I've written this before.
I just want to know what kind of man you became.

It's not fair
that you get to go on
enjoying the sun
when you took mine
right from my sky
It's not fair
that you get to go on
smile on your face
when you took mine
right from my mouth
It's not fair
that you get to go on
on the receiving end of love
when you took mine
right from my heart
It's not fair
that you can break a girl
break her smile
break her heart
and go on like you did nothing wrong

boy
be careful
her wounds are fresh
her wounds are deep
your words aren't salt
your words soothe her bleeding heart
words become poison to open sores
eating away any healing flesh
your words remind her of happy times
with you
boy
she's listening to your song
boy
be careful

It's tragic, this love.
How I clutch to your lips
like the ledge over a raging river,
fingers slipping,
slipping.
How my eyes plead to you,
to pull me to safety,
into you arms,
into your eyes.
I plead for your words,
like a drought needs the rain,
my life needs your breath,
your heartbeat.
It's tragic, this love.

I don't want to cry
but I can feel the tears.
The words pierced my heart
as they fell from your mouth.
Anger spewed from my soul
as you sprouted an apology.
Those words were too late
they shouldn't have been needed.
But you chose to break me
the cracks are visible to the world.
I try on a smile, it's too fake
I try out a laugh, it's too weak.
I missed you before the words
but this fault has made me loathe.
You can't take them back
and I can't forget them.
