You and I
that September night—
Unraveling
in the middle of the crowd
in drunken stupor
dancing tall and proud
It caught me off guard
when you sought my heart
directly through my lips
Captivating look in your eyes
as you put your hands ‘round my hips

I am the most sincere
whenever I tell them “I’m here”
when they’re feeling lonely
and most definitely needing somebody
But I cannot do anything
if they keep going missing
when it’s my turn
to need them the most
I just turn to my champagne
and
to honor my anguish,
raise my glass for a toast

Loving yourself
is not always easy;
because you’re human
with innate familiar aches
born out of
wanting
and needing
But not everybody
deserves
to hold your hand,
feel your soul,
breathe your skin,
and reap the blessing
that is your loving
-c.s.

I thought it was safe to fall
You know I could’ve been
your end all be all
But you weren’t ready
I was going all out
but your heart’s not steady
Now I watch leaves fall from a tree
as I pour on this paper
seeking comfort
in my poetry

I walk alone
on this dirt road
carrying my burden—
fears,
my hopes and dreams
Waiting for someone
who keeps their word
and stays
through the lush
and the barren,
always

Birthday candle is blown
Surrounded with love
from people I’ve always known
But to satiate the need
to feel cherished—
—is a call or a text message
to make his love-binding spell
well-established
Oh, how nice would that be
But he doesn’t think of me
And that is reality
-c.s.

—and I didn’t know where this was going
I wouldn’t say a word
but with you I was feeling something
No, it doesn’t matter
if you’re not on my page
I only wish this heart would reach yours—
give you warmth,
and maybe you’d engage
-c.s.

When I leaned on your chest
your heartbeat was racing
I held on to that bliss
Nevermind if this is temporary
With your hand on my hip,
we were going places
I didn’t need anything else
And in that moment,
I felt truly alive
-c.s.

I keep going back to old messages
Your pesky reminders
Check-in calls
Pictures and all
They’re all very dear to me now
I could vividly remember
holding your pale hand
Kissing your cheek
Hugging your frail body
And telling you I love you, endlessly
You’re up there,
and that is clear
I just find it surreal
that you’re not here
-c.s.

Don’t get with a writer
if you’re not gonna stay
because she’ll remember your eyes
piercing into hers
Your lips—
the words you whispered
in your candle-lit room
and the smell of your hair
as you both fell into the night
So don’t get with a writer
if you’re not gonna stay
because she’ll make something
out of those sweet nothings
and she will write about it
until her mind bleeds
-c.s.
