I breathe you in Just to breathe you out Your skin on my skin You’re my favorite heart attack I dream again, I can feel you again, Your feet on my bed, Your hair on my wrist I wanna see it all, spinning round faster now, I think I got it down, Let me show you how Running in your garden, my tears pile up, burry me in roses til I’ve had enough I think I’m alive for the first time I think I wanna marry you, it’s alright I’ll carry you until my legs give out, Pull me close and kiss me on my open mouth I see the world and all its beauty in your eyes I met you and I loved you at the same time At the same time, At the same time, I met you and I loved you at the same time

same time
“I can’t, I’m sorry, it’s getting late.” she says, walking with a purpose, like the place she has to be will actually take her in with the same warmth she gives it There’s a whole lotta **** going on, if you think about it, It’s kinda like the cracks in the sidewalks know our steps before we even take them, as if they’ve been here before us I’ve been here before you, I think, I muster up the strength, Feeling all of it, all the time, yeah, I don’t feel how exhausting it is, I’m too focused on you to care The night we taught each other’s bones how to death dance back to life, I prayed for the first time since I was a child, It’s like it’s all playing in reverse It’s soft, and supple, and sweet, your skin, tasting like every good thing, And I can just tell that you’ve been practicing for this, I can tell because I have too, and we look the exact same when we lay under the same ceiling, our breathing reverberating off of each other like it’s been rehearsed, for years For years / I haven’t noticed the reflection / on purpose / it made me too scared I can feel the sun inside of your skin when we touch, Like a hot fire, I could care less about putting out, So I’ll Feel it / Feel it / Feel it Come on baby, come on baby, Feel it / Feel it / Feel it And the lights stay on, just so I can know you’ll catch my every glance

Feel it
You made me feel like classroom chatter, late night landline cable twirling on my stomach with my feet up kicking A long drive with the top down on the backroads, and I can hear you using the underbelly of the leaves to whistle my name You’ve been gone for sometime but I still hum your breaths on key, never missing a beat, I can still feel you running your hands through my hair, down my body, to my feet I tell my sons the war stories you taught me, like never trust your neighbor and only touch what you can see Hate ain’t love and hard ain’t hard if everything comes easy And so I tell ‘em how I see ‘em, the scars bleed hard but the pain ain’t free

dirt cheap
You are no greater man than I and the weight of the lack of peace you have or have not made with your god wears heavy on your shoulders and yet you have no muscle to show for it, You cannot tear down something that was never built, the same way that you cannot change a man with just your will I am a temple that will not be desecrated to fit your opinions of the definition of success, and your daughter will fall in love with me with or without your regret, it was never yours to be had to begin with

all air, no gust
Your memory reverberates in the same way that I fell in love with you— in passing, fleetingly I didn’t really believe it, but who could? If we’re being honest I’d never felt that kind of breeze before, something easy, and simple Your breath on my face, it’s the closest I’d ever get to fresh air and your hand in mine, it’s the closest I’d ever get to never wanting to let go of anything at all I hope you remember me in these same ways, and some days, when you wake up next to him, I hope my memory plays on repeat, in passing, fleetingly

In Passing, Fleetingly
In my dreams you are orbiting the sun sporadic as ever, how you always liked No record scratch, just relapse Have I ever told you about the time my sister blacked out in the seventh grade? and how that’s the closest I’ve come to death since Even watching it, it never plays like it does in the movies We write about grief like it has no place here and I still write about you like how I imagined I would, holy ghost infused fits of regret It was never funny, but no one says it is

tight grip, and don’t you ever let go
I married you because I thought that you could change. Now, the only love I feel is when the fool in the mirror points and laughs at me.

no promises kept, or, broken
This pinball machine stole my beer money. There’s a revival coming and we cannot miss it. I caught on as soon as the cops showed up. I swear I heard this from a Smiths song. I’m not apologizing. I heard you over the airwaves. I could tell from the tone of your voice. If I can’t pay for this with my suffering, what was the point? Y’know, it never really looked good on you, anyways. I swear to God you were in my dream, and I miss you. I think I’m gonna be sick. I’m not doing anything about it. Trust the science. Sleep sideways. I know. You’re beautiful. Man, it hurts bad. Stop the ******* car. There ain’t a ******* thing for miles. I daydream about a life that is not mine. The flowers ain’t any prettier over here, trust me.

Thanotophobia
Sometimes I think about getting rid of myself out of spite for you but then I remember how sore of a loser I am

winner takes all
I’m not interested in writing poetry about God anymore, I found God and yet the emptiness is still holding out like it has a grudge, like it’s waiting for something big to happen like there’s a curtain draw already in motion ready to be pulled shut when the show has ended With all of this theater, all of this drama, where will I be left to fend for myself when the crowd throws their flowers I’m starting to think the show isn’t about me it’s about everybody else
