Sometimes I get a sick joy out of knowing
that it was over for me the day we parted
but the only thing keeping you alive
is hating me

I've never been able to draw
a paintbrush does not belong in my hand
I've never been able to dance
the beat of a song doesn't flow through my bones
I've never been good at math
numbers simply look like rebellious letters
But I can write
I can paint you a picture with my words
make you feel something more than a beat deep in your bones
and make you believe in the only math that matters
you + me

love is my three AM phone call, that you don't send to voice mail
love is when I remind you to bring an umbrella
...it's also bringing you chicken soup instead of saying I told you so
love is texting me six times a day to remind me to eat something because you know I'll 'forget'
love is waking up beside you on a Sunday morning and hearing your rough voice mumble in my ear "good morning beautiful"
love is not laughing at me when there's tears rolling down my cheeks while standing on the porch
love is kissing my forehead and whispering "don't worry, I'll be home soon."

There's so many words that I'm dying to say
things I had held back,
the things I hid away
but twenty six letters will never be enough
to communicate how this feels

Bringing people into your life is a big responsibility
like owning a pet
you have to feed their minds
you have to exercise their limits
you have to show them affection
you have to make time for them
you have to care for them
because sometimes they can't care for themselves

Through the trees
Up the hill
Into unknown land
Increasing the distance
Between you and I
Was something I used to dread
To drown on land
To fight or flight
Doesn't seem worth it to me.

I remember the day we started talking
your gold hair kept falling into your eyes
and I kept fighting the desire to push it away
so it wouldn't hide the beauty you had been blessed with.
You always smelled like a garden,
but not like you had been planting it, more like you grew there
Just sprouted from the ground one day and walked off into my life.
I fell in love,
you laughed at me,
until you fell too.

The beat of the wings
laced with dusty memories
haunting me as I lay in the swords of grass
as the grey puffs in the sky
release their wet bombs onto me
The trees sway with mimicked exhaustion
the sky groans with an empathetic pain
and then flashes
the light at the end of the tunnel
the sky extinguishes the fire in my heart
You can’t see me there anymore,
don’t waste your time
all that’s left is the echo in the trees
and the scorch mark of my heart.

Things are better when you're around
I worry less
I smile more
my heart begins to pound
Things are better when you're around
I laugh for hours
I dance in snow
my feet fly off the ground
Things are better when you're around
I rhyme my words
and kiss through tears
I'm glad it's you I've found

So let the winter winds blow
and swallow me whole
just like the thoughts of you
have consumed my soul
So let the snow fall
soft and sweet
as your words
flush my cheeks
So let the cold
chill me to the bone
your arms wrapped around me
feel like home
