Time after time we meet In the same spot, in the same way The wooden door Beaten down Rebuilt Fresh coat of paint Rusted doorknobs and squeaky hinges Claw marks trying to escape Holes trying to break in Mended and repaired We pretend it’s the same Forever closed and always reopened Resuscitation and revival Reliable and reminded That we will always meet here

I hope these words stain you like the bruises you painted across my skin

I write my poems with the blood in my veins The same ones that once flowed for you I write my poems with the tears in my eyes The same ones that once flowed from you

Because of you
Maybe I should come with a trigger warning Or I should I warn everyone I'm going to pull the trigger

Trigger
Midnight drives Sharing secrets and stealing kisses In between red lights The street lights looked dim Compared to the light in your eyes And I play back this memory in my mind But it isn’t until I realize I’m smiling to myself That I realize that life is all about The person who makes you feel less alone Even when they aren’t around It took one look That Monday night You looked over at me and said “I’m yours for as long as you’ll have me” You held me like I was glass And pressed up against me until our souls were touching Heavy breaths and light heads We were meant to last Singing in your passenger seat With your hands intertwined with mine I have finally found my Someplace Better And this was just our gentle beginning In the dead of the night, we became alive

how it all began
Your heart was so dry It began chipping away

I can kick and scream at the top of my lungs but nothing will make you ever hear me

Mute
Our hearts frozen to ice We were two glaciers drifting Our presence engraved into the ground below We were meant to last forever But something between us broke Now we spend eternity Apart

You told me to write whenever something inspired me So I wrote about how you loved me despite all my faults And I've been spilling myself on these pages Trying to find the right things to say But now I'm drained empty I tried writing about whats keeping me alive all this time When i had every reason not to breathe I ended up writing your name You were my anchor Holding me down through the night When the storms hit the hardest I promised I would never write about you I never needed to immortalize someone who I would never forget When i drifted away you pulled me closer Having your hand to guide me I find the light Please dont leave me in the dark
