Make a wish before my flame goes out Follow me into the night to capture my perfume While you inhale me in between breaths Hold me close before morning arrives See everything with your hands, the sun can’t show you Wrap me around your lips, to feel me when you smile Dig as deep as you can, before you kiss me goodbye Open your eyes Reach your hand over to find a memory you’ll soon forget

A memory you’ll soon forget
You struck me with your wars As you’re screaming bullets through my eyes My tears waving white flags But in our home all we could find were casualties I’m looking through your eyes, finding only graveyards of everything we hoped we would’ve found by now Creeping through the gallows of your mouth I find solace now, only in the shadows of things that used to be Words shooting through the belt, finding their way lower with every breath My insides became raw from all the sleepless nights of the fireworks mimicking our voices Igniting fires in my heart to try to keep you warm I buried myself in your graveyard And called it love Dirt filling my lungs, but I still took it all in Reaching my hand higher to push above ground I try to feel the warmth of a sun, that I know will never be mine To never see a single sunrise But you made sure to tell me about the colors I could’ve seen Tempting me with the idea of a sunset filled sky Steeping my body in soil to never know it’s roots I begin to slowly hold your poems on my tongue Waiting to whisper them back to you so you would know how it feels Pebble by pebble I dig myself out Bursting above ground to finally breathe to only find a night sky covered by clouds But I blew my poems of my own And suddenly the colors bloomed inside me Finding I didn’t need you to show me a sunset But that I could awaken it in myself

In your graveyard
You struck me with your wars As you’re screaming bullets through my eyes My tears waving white flags But in our home all we could find were casualties I’m looking through your eyes, finding only graveyards of everything we hoped we would’ve found by now Creeping through the gallows of your mouth I find solace now, only in the shadows of things that used to be Words shooting through the belt, finding their way lower with every breath My insides became raw from all the sleepless nights of the fireworks mimicking our voices Igniting fires in my heart to try to keep you warm

Pt.1
The sun dances around you To merely show you the shadow Of all the darkness left inside you. And she reveals that she can still bring warmth To even the cruelest of creatures

The sun
Leaning over to smell the roses To only inhale the smoke of a burning garden Plucked prematurely To find roots that never found a bed to grow Planting unused hope and fear to fill the *** Rotting roots left to dry inside a hallow home Finding perfect days behind foggy windows Mistaking dust for gray clouds Slowly drowning in unfamiliar places Thinking sunshine’s only purpose is to burn ones soul Weeds hovering over brittle shoulders Hiding eager petals that can never bloom Searching for a family tree To only be stuck inhaling polluted air In a home that only rains

A broken garden
I look at you and think of all that I’ve missed, each kiss, has it really come to this Sitting here waiting, I’m shaking, from all the shards of my heart that keep breaking Trying to put it back together with strings, it stings, when I want to run to you, and tell you, **** it.. I love you My past, a time in space that didn’t last, stars fizzling out, because all they really are, is gas, but this light he has, **** near took my breath too the masses, when I sit and count each moment that passes for a post to only see, how lovely you’re getting without me, when I want to run closer to you, and tell you **** it..I love you. You leaving didn’t make me love you less, but there’s always tomorrow I guess, the ultimate test, to not care about you as much as the rest Trying to chase a flame without a spark, I seem to only find love with you In the dark Feeling you closer for me to tell you, **** it...I love you The composer in my mind never unwinds, because it loves to find the reasons why you were perfect in my timeline, hoping you’d think “if I came back to her, I could take her with me, because she’s always been mine”, and waiting for the tomorrow where you didn’t push me away, you come to say that this time you’ll stay, because **** it, You love me, in the same way

**** it I love you
You invited me in Gave me a key that would only bring me to a hallway of doors Waiting for secret passwords to only find more useless keys inside Our love floating endlessly A rootless tree trying to grow in cement and brick walls Smashing the glass to only find bars wrapped around your heart Feeling like I’m screaming over a voice that’s already silent My hand reached out But froze from your breath Pulling teeth to only find our loves cavities But maybe if we moan loud enough, we won’t hear our obvious doubts You invited me Gave me a key to a broken lock You never could let me fully in, but I never could knock Secret codes, I couldn’t find the way Finding rooms that aren’t yours, what can I say I never truly wanted my toes to get this wet But we’re swimming in a mile of liquid, regret Doors with no keys, lights went out in the halls A rootless tree trying to grow in broken brick walls Smashing glass to find bars around your heart Screaming over a silent voice, you knew you had this part Pulling teeth, but I’m left wishing maybe if we Moan loud, we won’t hear the heart missing

Lock
Wasn’t it a love song When you told me, you cared for me on a hill top alongside all your dark history You’d fall for me inside of a capsule of your haunting thoughts, You were battling Run with your demons, paint a mask As they befriended me Wasn’t in a love song When we roamed In fires, you made love to me Cast the net, but you were always there to release You cared for the moon, but I’m a sun that couldn’t see Burning fingers, you buried the ashes underneath Filling me with doubt, you weren’t there for me Cause you didn’t love me, you couldn’t love me But wasn’t it a love song When I cried for you to love me I walked on paths, I wouldn’t cross if you hadn’t guided me And all of those cracks in the walls i was painting Stood outside your heart, even when it was raining Wasn’t it a love song When you ran away from me With the pack of wolfs, you were always howling After your pray, you would slay you would find me, So if you’re speaking honestly That on the full moons, I’m still the sun you would see But you didn’t love me, You couldn’t love me But isn’t this a love song?

But wasn’t it a love song?
I tried to remember this feeling Of staring in your sun I’m peeling Reeling, from how you were my perfect faith Closing other doors that were never built Out of the guilt, of loosing you Until your shoulders started to tilt And spilt into mine Handing me promises you built, but couldn’t keep Either in nightmare or sleep I grasp to what’s there- holding onto a glass that’s shattered Cause even if you’re broken glass, you mattered. Watching how you grew your horns Picking off the petals and leaving the thorns Wishing each time it rained it didn’t have to pour But was this before, or after You forged your signature on this disaster Thinking you were only filled with laughter My darling- you kept trying to eat my spark Glowing mouths, but I’m stuck in the dark Left with the mark of every time you would tell yourself you were no longer mine Waiting for the perfect glass of wine Screaming in silence, I would never forget How time after time- I would drown in your liquid regret Letting go of your glass that is shattered Wishing I would look back, and think that you mattered

Made up of matter
You’re the sun on my skin Crawling through my hairs, letting me feel the heat. Lighting me up, until I spill a sunset Pouring over all the skies. I begin to transcend into night Capturing stars in my eyes. Waiting until tomorrow, To feel you burn again
