You talked in poetry And I leaned in closer with each line Another day, another act of folly Reset only with prose and sunrise

Rise and Shine
I wave to the water To the trees Foregoing another year gone by Seemingly stagnant, other than time Freeing the should-haves and if-onlys The defeat I wave to the stones To the leaves Acknowledging uncertainties Repainted as possibilities Inviting warmth and will-bes And relinquishing ennui

Thirty Three
Sick of defending my worth while you're constantly complaining, putting on a show. Our castle is made of toothpicks, look closer And I'm done rebuilding after each one of your blows. We know we're not changing so spare me the side hugs - let's cut our losses. I'll lie here scattered amongst the others who fell short, content as you revel in your face-value ties, buying friendships emerald for emerald, eye for eye seeing who you can impress next til daddy's bank runs dry

Let's talk more about nothing See where it takes us From the bed to the couch to the floor I'll explore your bumps and bruises But won't dare hold your hand Cover your body in kisses And pretend I'll never care

Purposeful Play
Envelop me in your octopus arms Tickle me with your tresses And I'll worship you 'til my days are gone And my sorrows undone

Lend a hand your touch, a tender rave Lay with me let's bathe in ecstasy

Love Language
Tomorrow I'll rid my sheets of you but today, I breathe you in one last time fill my lungs with those nebulous lies Puff puff pass, to the lucky one who's next?

Relapse
I was drawn to you Was it the conversation, Irish accent, or just Le Labo?

Midnight Kiss
You may have lit the match but I had already poured gasoline all over the floor Darling, we were only meant to unite in smoke
