we slept it off
waited two more days
needed the bed to myself
but now we play
how did you know
where to go
when we hardly ever
talked about this
my hands trace your skin
can i feel every inch?

I am here
In a dimly lit room
Playing pool with you
I am followed
By a past so dark
My pupils overflow
I know you see it
You set up camp in my chest
And turned the light on
I allow a smile
To creep from my mouth
As you gaze at my lips
I don’t care
For the struggles ahead
The nights I felt inferior
I am here right now
Touching your skin
To keep warm
And you have started
This fire in me
Everyone else put out

I fall so hard each time
and wonder why there are scars
on my kneecaps
Back in the day
light as a feather meant so much more
than it does now
Light as a feather
but riddled with two little weights that
unapologetically hang from my shoulders
Light as a feather
but watching another fall just a little bit
faster into the small of your palm
Light as a feather
but stiff as a board
Watching your pupils dilate
the way I’ve been dying to

She’s a cup of tea
and I’m a dash of coffee creamer
Both good,
but maybe not together
There’s something out there
that will complement us better

begin again
look for the lipstick
look for the cuffed sleeves
look for my sanity
fall back
missing you comes in waves
i can’t tell exactly when it
first knocked me off my feet
a familiar pain
it’s okay if you’ve got nothing to say
cause i said what i needed to
it’s okay if you run away
cause i know where to find you

Listen to her heartbeat
when you’re sitting, talking slow
Pay attention to how her lips feel
when they’re sliding down your throat
Watch her make you breakfast
she’s saying, “You have to eat before you go”

Another night for the books
stumbling down an empty street
at midnight with our hands around each other
Your eyes did the thing
where they’re traveling to my mouth
instead of listening
Crossing state lines
saying goodbye as the bridge
is burning in the rearview
Forever, we screamed
I remember as I grabbed the poison
from your fingers and took a hit

We’re standing outside this airbnb in the heart of the city —
a clever idea of mine; an upgrade if I say so myself
Moving from the back of your car
to chasing you up the king size bed
We pulled the couch out and did our thing there, anyways
I don’t think about it anymore but I just heard the song
I swayed uncontrollably to outside
Not sure if I was drunk, it was cold, or a mixture of both
Humming as I exhaled cigarette smoke
And then you went right back to breathing me in
It’s good for me to look back on these things
That’s what I say to myself, at least
When I can smile about it
and the thought of not having it doesn’t sting
Almost like a gentle reminder of the good things to come

i'm looking for something
that i can't find
because it's already mine
i just don't think i deserve it
right under my nose
i miss you
when good things happen
who do i tell them to?
the moment you let me in
i saw the labyrinth
the demons you speak of
really exist
feeling like the cigarette
you smoked once
then never again

it's time to grow up and
face the things i'm scared of
these days it feels like everything
i should say something
but tonight will stay quiet
wondering where your heart went
were you the one to shut the door?
did i even unlock it in the first place?
i don't want to think anymore
take me somewhere besides my brain
the same things started and finished us
