If there's a paved road to my soul
She knows it.
Because she drives it every day
Sometimes with her hair blowing in the wind
Sometimes with a phone in her hand
Sometimes with me by her side
If there's a book to my mind
She's read it.
Because she anticipates my every move
Studied every chapter about pain and fear
Every chapter of passion and lust
Every chapter of smiles and dreams
If there's a growl in my voice
She caused it.
Because I crave everything about her
Even if I fail to bite a snapping tongue
Or even if words fail to come at all
Or even if I can't consume her quite enough
If there's a key to my heart
She shaped it.
Because her fire carves through steel
The blade cut by mistakes I made
Cut by shades of blue her eyes rent to the sky
Cut by just the simplest curl of red lip
If there's a paved road to my soul
She paves it.
Because where her footsteps fall I listen
Where her dreams tear at seams I will stitch
And where her future ends, I will begin again

Seems for the time being,
I no longer feel real anymore
It feels evermore as if someone, nefarious or not,
Has traced an outline of my silhouette
Affixed a pair of soulless brown eyes
And caricatured a smile across my face
So for the time being,
I will no longer act real anymore
Because the only things I draw, well or otherwise,
Are Type A blood and messy conclusions
Where spatter and decisions
Are indistinguishable on the canvas of my life

From the very first day
That you crashed into my soul
Fused it with your scarlet symphony
And drenched it with your crystal blues
I knew,
That I would never be repaired
I would never be the same
And I would never want to be

The _weight of my insecurity_
Tips the scale beyond capacity
Yet I still bear the burden every day
The _sound of my inner voice_
Reverberates within my ear, duplicitously,
Yet I nod in subtle agreement anyway
The _pulse of my constant fears_
Makes my heart envious of its rhythm
Yet my veins ever widen, to my dismay
All while the _warmth of my depression_
Has become far too safe a shelter in this cold
Yet it seems that the frostbite....
_.....is still underway_

The air has taken a chill
Not from Autumn, but from you
And my smile is fading quickly
I drink to keep from shuddering
Not from Autumn, but from you
And suddenly, I have erased my memory

Sing me a dream set to music
Light the kerosene lamps and sit next to me
Tell me tales and yarns of your choosing
Especially the ones that are make-believe
Hand me the rest of the wine
Set your feet on the stepstool of my heart
I don't care if you cry or laugh here
Sometimes, I can't tell the two apart
Watch the fireflies blink from the open field
Close the heavy book of your expectations
I'll never fall asleep if you never leave
And we can sketch our own constellations
Tell me that I just mean _something_
And I will mean it for the rest of my days
Maybe once tonight I can make you smile
So I'll finally learn what it is to be amazed

There is only one person in our short lives, where there absolutely is no depth too _deep_,
no obstacle too _large_, no bridge too _far_, nor sky too _grey_.
For I will dive where there is _no air_, I will push until my hands are _raw_, I will walk until my feet have _bled_, and I will chase the horizon until I have found the _sun_
Just to bring you back home.

The last 100 sunrises
The last 100 sunsets
Barely scratch the surface
Of the story we have written
The full road has been twisted
With perilous curves
Jarring speed bumps
And even a collision or two
But these last 100
Are now my favorite chapter
Because we finally collided
The way we were always _supposed to_

It took some time,
For our hearts to blossom
For our fire to truly rage
And for our dreams to
Reawaken
So now all I crave
Is you by my side
Your hand placed in mine
And various parts of your skin Attached effortlessly to my kiss

My bare feet smack wetly against the rock
Every step resounding louder than the last
Yet it seems that with each revolution
Of this cold, dying earth
Its melody gets harder and harder to hear
Some may argue the weight of the world
Rests upon this very stepstone
Yet it seems that in this crystal stream
Where our blood runs teal
We may, in fact, be erased from existence
My cadence is as stilted as the day of my first steps
Sharp edges saw at calloused heels
Yet my body finds an unknown balance
Beyond comprehension, beyond reproach
As I finally set foot upon death's lonely shore
