While I tell you the truth
the words scrape
as they leave my lungs
You look me in the eye
a damp sadness
fills your iris
You ask me
why?
As if it were my fault.
I tell you
its an awful thing
love
You open your mouth
as if to protest
as if i was wrong
But you cant.
You don't want the truth.
But you couldn't possibly deny it.

I look up
I see you, looming over me
looking down at the ones so similar
yet so different to you.
You look down.
You see me, staring up at you
admiring the love you give
to my night sky.
Though neither of us see eachother
not at the same time.
We cannot touch,
your warmth is too much for my cold hands
All we can do is admire
admire eachother from afar

The way you move,
compelling,
free flowing through the air
The happiness,
radiates,
from your skin, the smile on your face.
The look I give you
pure admiration
not love.
For you could not be
my love.
Not ever.
Although, the heart
never lies.
The brain
is awfully stubborn.
I look at the sky above
a rainbow,
beautiful, hovers over
Like a curse.

I always walk through the muddy path
Not for any particular reason
At the end of the path
there is no reward
No safety, no help.
But i still walk through the muddy path
Parts of the ground are still wet
soaking my shoes
dampening my socks
The cold rushes through me
But i still walk through the muddy path
The other ways are quicker
Even the long path leads the same place
But I've walked this way so often
I can't stop now
I must walk through the muddy path

The sight of you
gives me butterflies
pretty, beautiful butterflies
They circle my intestines
Invade my stomach
Enter my lungs
I tell myself that
they arent real
just my imagination
But one day
a naughty butterfly
ate through my stomach
Everything came out
Every pent up feeling
Every word i didnt say
You dont witness it, but i do
I choose to keep what remains
Far from you
Not because i dont love you
But because i do

Out of the bottle
i lather it on my face
my arms, my legs
It invades my senses
my skin, protected,
my memory, activated
It sends me back to
caravan holidays
spent in a field
It brings me back to meals
in expensive places
i had took for granted
It brings me back to the airport
watching the planes soar
up, unimaginable heights
It brings me back to my
tourist days, adventuring
places i thought had no politics
It brings me back to
my childhood, spending
weeks in a country, i couldnt even spell

I remember
waiting outside school
in the morning before
my day even started
Waiting, just to see
my friends gathered
in the dreadful,
comforting weather
The wind would throw
my hair in all different
directions, ruining the
style id perfected moments prior
The misty rain gathered
on my head, dampening my
steaightened hair, guaranteeing
it wouldnt last until breaktime
I remember walking through
the beach, on a stormy day
feeling the wind blow
sand onto my skin
As i walked, the strong
smell of the sea salt
invaded my nostrils, sickening me,
yet reminding me of my home
I could see that the
beach is no longer what
it used to be, deserted,
no longer my towns pride
In the summer, the adults
would disapprove of me
swimming in the lake, but i waded,
so far their voices couldnt be heard
Because being a teenager
you dont care.

I remember that day.
That Saturday night
where we shared words.
I had opened up
my heart, showed it
plain, beating.
You saw it, learnt
the beauty and the
pain from what lay within.
Your drink in your hands
began to fill up
with saltwater.
You realized that my
love wasn't false or fake,
but grown from despair.
Your cup,
full to the brim
overflowing.
Though you werent quite there
your warm presence lacking
in my frozen room
You were still there
when we were
50 miles apart
