He has unravelled me. All that work Of building myself up, Tying strings Around my heart To stop it from falling apart again, Sticking back together The cracks in my lungs, Has been undone.

He Has Unravelled Me

He has unravelled me. All that work Of building myself up, Tying strings Around my heart To stop it from falling apart again, Sticking back together The cracks in my lungs, Has been undone.

Someone once told me To count the night By the stars, But I would much rather Make maps from The constellations On your skin.

This is it, Time to say goodbye. The last time I'll ever feel everything, nothing, Something For you. And oh, how I'll miss it But not as much as your eyes In the morning, Bleary and confused, And that smile when you realised Just how happy I was Waking up next to you.

Just. Let. Go.

This is it, Time to say goodbye. The last time I'll ever feel everything, nothing, Something For you. And oh, how I'll miss it But not as much as your eyes In the morning, Bleary and confused, And that smile when you realised Just how happy I was Waking up next to you.

And then it became clear: I was very good at not getting out of my head. Ever. Building thoughts More complex by the second Until I was lost in the maze in my head. Unable to escape from the labyrinth of thoughts And words And visions of your face.

Surviving The Fire

And then it became clear: I was very good at not getting out of my head. Ever. Building thoughts More complex by the second Until I was lost in the maze in my head. Unable to escape from the labyrinth of thoughts And words And visions of your face.

I guess we will never know What was said During those 3am phone calls You were always too drunk, I was always too drowsy. I guess they can be Our lost conversations The content kept secret, Even from ourselves. I guess if you ever miss me You can find me, Somewhere, In those 3am moments It's just you and I, Alone, In the black night.

I couldn't tell you That you were like the first sharp intake Of breath, When the cold winter air Collides with my tired body You were a beautiful mess, A disaster, A sadness. I couldn't tell you That you dragged me out Of a deep, ragged hole Then I wake up, Shivering, Reminded And I am right back there I couldn't tell you That the curve Of our bodies, Your skin on mine, Electricity, Was a poisonous medicine I couldn't tell you That you had the power To dissolve my resolve And have me running Back I couldn't tell you That our contradiction Was what I needed I couldn't tell you That without you I am free.

I Couldn't Tell You

I couldn't tell you That you were like the first sharp intake Of breath, When the cold winter air Collides with my tired body You were a beautiful mess, A disaster, A sadness.

I knew That if I told the stars To bring you back to me Enough, That one day they would So here we lie again, Two bodies, Beautifully entangled, Forever entwined And I whisper As your eyes flutter, Close to sleep - Don't let go, I love you so.

For Him

I knew That if I told the stars To bring you back to me Enough, That one day they would So here we lie again, Two bodies, Beautifully entangled, Forever entwined And I whisper As your eyes flutter, Close to sleep - Don't let go, I love you so.

I remember the moment Your eyes met mine in a dream Those tiny maps Of unwinding colour Where I'd lose myself for days Emerging, Sure I knew you so deeply That your soul Was palpable in my hands And your thoughts Were unspoken words on my tongue. I'd find myself staring Up At the stars, Hear them whispering Your name Like a melody too beautiful For anyone else to hear. The sound of the roaring ocean Was the only comfort I could seek Without your voice To charm me with Empty words of promise, Desire, Longing The crashing waves called To me, Enticing. I could only think of plunging Deep Into the blue void And never returning Like a doomed explorer Willing to lose it all For some unknown beauty And as the breath Escaped from my lungs And the world From my eyes, The last thing I'd picture As the comforting blue Took hold of me Would be your eyes, Bluer than the bliss Which engulfed me.
