black and white metaphorical words
So maybe he touched my soul And claimed it was old Stole it With honest intent To never return it to my body So maybe he touched my hips And sank his teeth into my lips Ripped them With honest intent To never hear me speak So maybe he drank my tears And extracted every fear Before walking With honest intent To leave me dehydrated

Maybe
Don't smash the glass between your fingers Don't allow open wounds So that the smell of your blood lingers Only to empty every room Silence the little girls mind Silence every thought so she is soothed Lock that little girl inside So she is convinced that the lies are truth ***** ears and ***** words Revolve around nothing but a ***** world

BLOOD
i cant forget the juice of his lips or his touch on my hips my apologies, but a list full of wishes brought me to this reminiscence of a gentle spring kiss

spring kissing
Heavy breathing Trembling knees *In the darkness I could not see* Eyelash to cheek Hearts heavy and weak *In the darkness I could not leave*

with the lights off
don't ask me what i think about poetry i never think about poetry but sometimes more often than others words will creep into my skull and dance around my soul they'll bicker with each other and grasp at each others hair until i am forced to release them from the damp of my fingertips and exhale them like the dense clouds of smoke that they are

poetry thinks about me
I wanted to be the wind. I wanted to be the wind flowing through each strand of his hair. I wanted to be the moon, bathing him in my light. I wanted to be his wisdom. I wanted to be the blush in his cheeks. The chill that traveled down his spine and the warmth of his soul. I wanted to be the itch underneath his skin when his thoughts were troubled. I wanted to be his consolation; and his isolation. I wanted to be the blur in his drunken vision. I wanted to be his dreams. I wanted to be his fixation in the night sky and the sweet seduction of his daylight. I wanted to be the plant that he watered with his kindness. I wanted to be the glass that tasted his lips, the breath that escaped his lungs and the oxygen that flowed through his blood. The stardust sticking to the walls of his veins. I wanted to be his lingering melancholy. I wanted to be the tears that once had the chance to live inside his eyelids. I wanted to be every door handle that his fingertips caressed. I wanted to be the saliva resting on his tongue. I wanted to be each and every heartbeat that kept him alive for a moment longer. Can you understand? Because I can’t. I wanted to be the life that he questioned, the life that left him speechless. I wanted to be the information that he craved. I wanted to be everything. I wanted to be her. I wanted to be me.

i miss the way his fingertips would wash my skin with flames and how his eyelids evaporated when i whispered his name. at night i dream that he is flowing through my veins and in the sunlight i long for a silent brain

his soul aches, and the swallows guide me to him when he checks the sky at night it’s right there where he left it clinging onto the mist of misery we’ll dance under the moons breath we follow each others silence without incentive i'm impulsive in reaction to pulsating lungs i could never sacrifice this non-existing moment tears run through rivers his lips leak that it’s alright and that we are flowing he is an old beginning whispering wishful words that arch my spine we are unaltered in time silk skin crafted by the clouds open eyelids pierce through chests he left me lost in a familiar world

souls
it started with a distorted kiss intending on innocence but as he was gazing my heart lit ablaze and nothing could save it but him

yoU
I am a rock at the edge of the ocean. I am standing. I am a rock at the edge of the ocean, and I have survived bitter winters, surrounded by frozen waters and melting summers engulfed in the airs sweat. Yet every year without fail I still transcend into spring. I am engraved by each and every form that grazes my surface, and I am still standing. In the sunlight I absorb rays of temporary hope and in the black of the night I reflect the moons delicate face, with her eyes fixated on the rough exterior that surrounds my soul. I blush with a grey stone coat, overwhelmed by her attention. I fluster, but I am still wedged deep beneath the sand. I am still standing. I am shelter for all of those helpless creatures underneath who long for safety. I am a gateway for the droplets of rain searching for home, I let them trickle down my spine until they find the mystic blue they have always dreamed of. I am standing for them. I am standing for you. I am a rock at the edge of the ocean. I have been touched by its still waters and washed over by its forceful waves, and just when I believe that I am drowning, mother nature guides me above. My granite heart is pounding and I am gasping for life to enter my lungs as I rise from its salty essence. Realisation occurs, I am still standing. I have been ignored and admired by passers by, I have experienced love and loneliness. Sometimes my thoughts near convince me that I am crumbling and decaying into the grains below my feet, professing that I belong in the quicksand. But thunderstorms don’t last, and after the thick of it I will remember that I am still standing. I am not just a rock at the edge of the ocean. I am me and I am you. I am not just standing, I am everything I’ve ever imagined.
