It shines and lusters
Through any case, she tries to hide it
Its jagged edges sprawl, like the rays of the sun
Hypnotized by its beauty, she grabs hold of it
Edges piercing her fragile skin
But oh how the diamond glows
She barely notices the crimson
Gracefully floating through the pores on her delicate fingers
Connective tissue starts to mend the pain, lacerations become scars
She ignores the old wounds as she cannot leave the diamond be
She’ll hide it with her forever until she can no longer feel

I am paralyzed
By the fear
That no other pair of arms
Will ever wrap me up
In the perfect way
the ones attached to you did

Tight jeans and a southern smile
Aaron Watson in the speakers of your big obnoxious pick up truck
Leather boots and a Texas tattoo
charming when your sober,
something else when intoxicated
Exchanging jokes that only our desert humor can take
Cruising down the loop on the back of your bike
Grabbing onto you a little tighter then I need to
Seeing small glimpses of person I admire,
quickly masked by hours of one I feel sorry for
…I didn’t know our kisses and two steps were undercovers

I
Don't
Even
know
What
qualities
to look for
in a man
anymore.

I wish I didn’t but I did
I wish I was cool enough
But I am not
I wish I didn’t picture him in the bed
Instead of you
I wish you asked first
I wish I didn't want to do it too
I wish we didn't need 10 shots
I wish I had the upper hand
I wish you would’ve called
I wish you weren’t number 5

I cannot breathe
It takes every ounce of my energy
For oxygen to reach my lungs
It comes so easy for everyone else
When I get lost in my head
I return to life gasping for air
Your blue eyes, and faded jeans
Breathe
Your hand tucking hair behind my ear
Breathe
Long walks under starry skies
Breathe
Quiet kisses under the covers
Breathe
Tropical sunsets and New Jersey snow
Making me rethink everything
Making me fall hard
Being ******* perfect
Breathe
Left me in love and Alone
Cold in your eyes as you tell me to go
No explanation no reason at all
Just a piece of my heart and you go
Breathe
Breathe
. . . Breathe
Kiss on the cheek in new york city
Giving you everything for the first time
Christmas day when you finally said the words
March when you took them back
Not looking back from the highway
Breathe
Day 5 no call
Breathe
Day 30 no call
Breathe
Month 6 no call
. . .Faint

You look at me different
Like no ones ever looked at me
You caress my face, and I melt
I run my fingers through your hair and get lost
Please don’t come find me
You have the power to make me transcend into another world
In a world where its just you and I
Laughing and smiling in a place where there are no quandaries
Nothing that could ever keep us apart
You tuck my hair behind my ear
And my heart feels whole
My soul recognizes something in you
Something I cannot attempt to describe
When good things come to my life
I think of you
When bad thoughts come to my head
Your voice heals me . . .
Then reality sets in
The tears come rolling down uncontrollably
Pain radiates from my torso
My stomach and heart feel as if they’re being ripped out of my body
Tears faster now, like waves crashing against the shores of my quivering lips
You hear me now, my cheeks flush with embarrassment
Your eyes fill with remorse as you see me upset for the first time
I have to go soon
But the thought of not being with you makes my soul cry
I feel my heart break as words from your soft lips are not what I needed to hear
I changed the rules
I know, this isn’t what we both agreed to
But wont you change the rules with me?
…Please

He looked so familiar
Blue eyes and strong hands
Caught my eye as I walked in
Shy glances throughout the night
Soft kisses under the blankets
Tugging at clothes
Falling asleep in his arms
I wake up with a smile on my face
Twenty-three will be my year
And this man who hasn’t left before the morning light
is finally not just a dream

We wake up way too early
Just to smell the beach at sunrise
Before all the shoebies and lifeguards
The remains of yesterday clearly washed away
We lay on the sand as the sun kisses our skin
Laughter is contagious over the events of last night
Still cloudy eyed but we’d never miss this
Sunglasses in tow, fall into a deep sleep
Until the sun gently wakes us up
Crash into the waves and feel weightless underwater
Cool our warm bodies
And wash off the reminisce of yesterday
Return back to land healed by earth and water
The sun starts to retire
We run away from the high tide
Into the night we go
To make beautiful mistakes
The sand and sun will be there in the morning

NYE
West philly
On the floor of your apartment
Late night breathing
Eager lips
Hands everywhere
Mine shaking, yours steady and strong
My bodies no longer mine
Its yours for the taking
Tugging at our clothes,
Pushing your body up against mine as you kiss my neck
Eager for all of you but the drinks weren’t that strong
Quiet, don’t wake the others around us
This is our new years kiss
Not there’s
This was your plan all along
I’m your victim tonight
But I don’t mind
This isn’t typical behavior for me
But i find myself getting lost in your arms
My lips leave yours as the morning light breaks through the window
I feel your eyes on my back as I walk away
A smile on my face
Its going to be a good year
