Health reflects plateaus,
Thick tears running like rivers,
Arthritic mountains,
Wrinkles ripple at beaches,
Plains welcome the exhausted,

Suburbs look peaceful,
Rural childhood decomposed,
Urban amnesia,
Roads outline the senile brain,
Destination: nostalgia.

at your first swimming lesson, they teach you to breathe through your nose and let air out through your mouth to avoid swallowing water and although i listened closely, i may have missed a step because i am sick to death of wishing myself six feet underground but my love, it's not an easy feat to breathe with litres of salt water flooding your lungs

come here
limbs laced in cotton sheets
my bottom lip between your teeth
tell me the blood drawn tastes like cherries
when we both know it's made of tar
trace a world map on my hipbones in bruises
mark the capital cities with your fingernails
millimeters deep into flesh
let your breath on my neck tell me stories
about who you are and where you've been
your mind spilling ink on pillow cases and skin
and with the left side of this mattress weighed down
let me pretend your hollowed bones
are more than a momentary home

A million stars up in the sky
one shines brighter I can't deny
A love so precious a love so true
a love that comes from me to you
The angels sing when you are near
within your arms I have nothing to fear

You always know just what to say
just talking to you makes my day
I love you honey with all of my heart
together forever and never to part.

You are my protector
You are my strength
You are my light in my darkness,
and my friend till the very end

You do not make me suffer
You never let me down
When I fall, you reach out your hand,
and you lift me up to higher ground

You've opened my heart
and taught me to love once more
When I cry, I know you have broken through
Because all my tears are for you
You have made me, made me yours, and made me whole
for your salvation has brought me here

I just want to say thank you for what you've done,
because I know there is still more to come
What more do I need, for I have you
You are my protector
and I love you.

I heard it in your voice that you didn't mean it when you told me you love me.
and then it was all over.

I don't want to go to sleep with you on my mind,
I want to go to sleep with you in my bed.
Hell is right here
Waking up at 3am without you.
Your lips are the only thing I want to taste in the morning,
Your legs intertwined with mine between sheets.

Sometimes we held hands when we ******,
Because as rough as I was with your body,
I'm always gentle with your heart.

Maybe you are
Maybe you are
Worth every mile
Between us

I am sick and tired of screaming your name
every time i reach the bottom of the bottle
while you are probably in bed
screaming hers.
You're just a cigarette
And this temporary buzz isn't enough for this longing heart
I need a stronger substitute
Something with a full effect
Someone with an addiction so strong it's impossible to break
