I'd like to think I'm a hopeless romantic, but honestly if I had a time machine I wouldn't go back to you and me. Dinosaurs.

Jurassic Heart
Johnny Cash said love burns. Lets swap saliva until it tastes like gasoline and our lips turn into phosphorus. All we need is some friction and we'll be a bonfire in no time.

Match Sticks
I got the hint I can solve the puzzle But I won't walk away a grand prize winner I've spent too much on vowels Trying to put "U" and "I" together Now I'm left with only "Y"

Big Money, No Whammies!
I'll stand outside and blow you kisses until my lips are chapped and blood runs down my chin. So the next time your cheeks are brushed by a gust of wind, remember, my love is a tornado.

Multiple Vortex
I've been tying strings and slamming doors to get you out of my smile. Now I'm looking for a set of lips that taste like novocaine.

When I die, I request that you steal my corpse from the morgue and bury it in a garden in your backyard. That way, even when I'm rotting flesh I can continue to make something beautiful for you.

Let's jump each other's bones in a graveyard. You can kiss my neck until I transform into a vampire. I'll **** your brains out while the undead claw open their caskets.

Making Out While Watching Horror Films
Life is ******** death is God's forte I would say **** the world but I'm stuck in foreplay Why do you have to take friends that I had since the fourth grade Rest in peace Allen Joseph Field April 4th 1995 - July 7th 2013 Allen, I never would have expected to see so many familiar faces from our graduating class so shortly after we graduated Honestly I didn't care to see half of them Allen, I will never get to see your face again Allen, the day I found out you had died I woke up to a group text from my best friends, missed calls from my mother and the second I stepped out of my doorway my father asked me if I had heard the news I had, but I didn't believe it Allen, when I went to work that day I was bagging groceries and saw a customer's eye light up as she realized the woman in front of her was a friend she hadn't seen in a very long time I will never to run into you at the grocery store Allen, the last time I saw you and actually talked to you was in a CD aisle at Walmart You made a joke about how it looked like I was bald because I was wearing a hat and had just gotten a haircut You made me laugh Allen, you always made everybody laugh Allen, I wish we stayed closer through high school But I still remember freshmen year when we would play Xbox live and you would yell so loud I'd have to take my mic out Or when we would ride our bikes up and down Black Hall Road and hangout a James' house and his dad would tell us to be quiet because we were all laughing so loud And before that when you were just a mop of hair and a smile doing the truffle shuffle to make everyone in class crack up Allen, I remember going to your birthday party one year and your mom owning a ton of Scooby-Doo DVDs It tears me apart knowing that there is no mystery at the end of this episode that we can't pull the mask off of your ghost and bring you back Allen, I wanted to say something at your memorial service but I couldn't compose myself I hope it still means as much now Allen, I never would have thought the new kid in my fourth grade class that would follow me a Danny around would have such an impact on my life I never would have thought I would call you a best friend I never would have thought I would see you go Allen, everybody knew you loved to drive fast but none of us thought you would take it that far That you would challenge God to a race in his golden chariot That you would pass him and take the lead That he would strike you down and take you from us Allen, I pray your last seconds on Earth were pure euphoria I pray you didn't have to feel a thing Allen, I only believe in angels when I think about you

Ever have one of those nights where you listen to Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt on repeat while you drive your car into the city and proceed to climb the steps of a parking garage while you try to get your ex girlfriend to answer her phone and when she doesn't you stop sit on the third story railing look down and think maybe if I fell I wouldn't quite die but then she'd have to acknowledge that I still exist. Ever have one of those nights where you're hanging out on a roof with your friends and you're standing on the edge and you really want to jump but instead you step back and freestyle the bars **** love it ain't a beautiful thing/ it was created by the Devil and all his demons/ and everything's swell til its ******* ending/ then you're slicing through your left wrist's ******* tendons." Ever have one of those nights where you're in the driver's side back seat and your best friends are filling up the rest of the upholstery and you're having a good time playing "have you evers" and "would you rathers" and **** get's real serious when you friend turns around and says "Jon, do you cut yourself?" and you just feel the tears run down your face a nod you head and they all tell you they love you and they're always there for you and you know that and you've known that. Ever have one of those nights where you put on one sneaker just so you can stomp on an old disposable razor spend thirty minutes picking off all the plastic pieces and then carve a train track down your forearm in hopes that all your sadness will climb on board a locomotive travel out your veins down your finger tips and crash land on your bathroom floor. Ever have one of those days where you’re ten years old and no one’s home besides you and your two sisters and you end up getting in a fight over something you can’t quite remember but you end up in your bedroom crying and decide it’s a good idea to take a belt and wrap it around your throat climb onto your dresser and jam the buckle into the slot at the top of your closet door. Ever have one of those days where you jump Where your body swings like a pendulum Where your toes claw at the side of your bureau Where your sister holds your dead weight until your feet can find a flat familiar surface and you can breathe again Sometimes I look at myself and think why have my scars healed so seamlessly as if there were never wires strung through my wrists like a marionette manipulated by the hands of hopelessness maybe the last time I drove a razor blade into my forearm the puppeteer made a mistake and severed the strings he had laced deep inside my tendons. I once filled a bathroom sink with my sadness and walked away I still don’t understand why if Earth is 70% water God allows so many people to be walking aquariums why he gave them leaky faucets and hands that could turn them like a door **** Do you ever have one of those days where you feel like there are not enough “do not disturb" signs in the universe and you've had this growing curiosity your whole life about who is knocking on the other side.
