she smells like smoke 3 day unwashed hair sitting still for hours melting clock ticks lighter fuel and dry hands blood shot eyes stuck to a screen a scratchy throat that mutters but can't speak a word you'd think she tastes sour but she's actually quite sweet

ask her what shes had to eat
im growing into butterfly wings that you've shaped with scissors and dew drops that fall from your waterline that looks like where the ocean meets the sky you're a horizon of time zones that always pass by it's like the sun is afraid of me and the crickets are my friends ive brought them here so you can hear my favorite instrument it's soft, and sweet but dark and cold i promise with them, you can never be alone the oceans are too wide for my shaky, achy bones but i would swim until the days grew thin to feel your warmth and light, my sunshine

told you
I can see the words you write hop off the tip of your tounge in tired melodies springing from an empty boy but god, does he fill the world you fly between my temples and tip toe down my spine walking forever you'll find, won't take you anywhere but away but maybe that's just fine

getting on a scale used to be like payday but if I did good, the numbers went down. If I did bad, well thats another story something is missing and it's not my symptoms a sense of satisfaction, ripped from my hands slipping through my fingers like fine grain sand. I no longer look to scales or numbers when judging my self-worth but something is still missing and i'm starting to notice myself asking "where did you go"

little
i've smoked myself to a visible storm of swaying projection underneath my eyelids swim a beautiful collection of purple and blue swelling under the pressure of no longer having you I thought i'd thrown away all of my masks but this one I keep so no one really knows how every time I hear your name my muscles twitch and when you always leave me unnoticed knives twist in my back you go through love like razors the pain is no more fun when i've gotten too dull what is a life without you without you without you

sorry that im still writing about you
i crave something different this time around i'm not searching for answers or creating the questions my shell has eroded plain to see leaving a pale-skinned lamb to bake in the sun whether its 8 in the morning or a quarter to 2 the mornings are vacant without you while i might be hiding my craving for touch at least i'm not hiding a closeted lust for everyone who shows you fabricated trust

weight
I am hungry and no longer safe the feeling lingers in the stomach the habit is in the heart wanting more than anything just to be loved the inhale and exhale is never enough i'm holding my breath i'm simply selfishness hollow-rib-cage-rattling desire i wonder if you're hungry for what I crave dangerous love that feels out of place
