Canadian I wrote this for you on a coffee stained napkin, after you left me, full of love, wanting, needing more. / For you, for the words that slipped to the floor / and the way only you understand the deafening silence that follows. / For you, in the moments of doubt / and the way you swept them away with the hugs. / For you...
I dream of taking a knife Cutting all this fat off It falling in sheets. My gut gone, My thighs. A smile of triumph As I look at the knife And me in the mirror I wake drenched. Sticky. Where did I go.

/// Cut ///
I can't do you justice Thousands of words I've written but not one captures you. I cannot capture your voice, your strides, those eyes. Eyes always changing A tornado and hurricane at war. I cannot capture those hands that dissipates the sorrow, leaving passion in their wake. Today I have realized that this is why I love you. You're incapturable

Capture
Nothing is right. I ruined everything. I held the world. I had a lover. I had love. I had hope. I had everything. I threw it away. One night. That's all it took. One night. With the wrong one. One night. And I cant trust again. I threw it all away. I threw you away. When all I wanted. Was to throw myself away. All I wanted. Was to self harm. All I did. Was destroy us.

Throw Away
I want to watch the stars tonight fall in love with the world. Whisper secrets to the moon...

Leave me alone get out of my head when did you set up shop here anyway I can remember, but it feels like a while ago sitting in the foyer sink into the black cushions deep into the folds snuggled in like one of your hugs pulled in close to your heart. facing the window eyes never leaving the door for you might walk in I wrote this a long time ago staring at a coffee stained napkin with my pen at hand, You called as I was thinking of you deep in thought about your eyes your hair, your mouth over a cup of coffee. scratching down a poem on a coffee stained napkin eye on the door always has been since you left but you called and broke my thought broke it into a thousand pieces and my heart stuttered at the voice I heard at the laughter that came from within you I can’t remember the last time I heard that voice the last time I heard that laugh the last time i stopped looking at the door waiting for a miracle for you to walk in or i to walk out to you then you called and with that call you changed everything lump in my throat dazed and confused lit up like a light bulb the happiest on earth just that a phone call and im yours all over again. Fully rooted deep in my head never alone.

Never Alone
"Never love a wild thing. The bite marks they leave heal But the corrupt mind is yours to keep." "Can you not see? Even the most angelic mind the devil prances in."

You are on my mind every moment of every day, in the dead of night when Incubus rests on my chest, in the waking hours when Pothos juggles my heart. Who are you who haunts my soul shaking my very core

'My hugs? Why?' ''Cause I felt safe in your hugs.' He really has no idea as I burst into tears...

Hold me Tighter
What would you do for who you loved? Would you let them inside? Inside to the true you? Would you let them know all your thoughts? Your deepest darkest secrets? Would you let them destroy you? **** yourself to save them? Is that love? Is love sacrificing everything? Does loving someone mean you would die for them? Die to save them physically, emotionally? Love? That we say is so joyous, grand, spectacular? Love? That we all need to feel worthy? Is it love that kills us? If you love them you will leave them. If you love them you would let them go. If you love them you should be happy they're happy without you. If you love them you should be content with the heartache. If you love them... What would you do for who you loved?
