Full of people who tear us down.
Leave us broken on the ground.
Leave us alone to feel the pound.
Our Heads submerged as we drown.

This place allowed us to make a sound!
But this sound is silent when no one's around.
I could write all things I know

from the scar beside your lips,
to the dimple on your left cheek;
how you don’t like going to places,
and would rather stay at home.

I could think of all our secrets

and set them all on fire,
by merely writing them down;
revealing us to the world,
for everyone to see
how broken we truly are.

I could write all things that made me fall for you,

how I loved our short hugs,
and our conversations;
and how I missed you
when I shouldn't.

But in the end,
I would like you to know
everything there is
my heart has been dying
to show.

We are the loveliest thing ever unspoken;
And I loved you so much,
how I wish you felt it, too.

You have been my sweetest
and my hardest fall-
And it’s tragic how something
could be both.

Darling, please remain as broken
and as lovely as you are now.

Take care.
I shouldn't be struggling with this at 3:00 am

But we have so little time...

Think about it,
all the books you won't read
all the places you won't go

We have so little time and so much to do
i am away and away and more or less far away
but these places aren't space between us

we wet weather humidity cling to one another
cooling off in the shade of our shadows
swimming in a soul river
never coming up for air
a loving drowning

the space between us never grows
there are no lies
there are no secrets

although i can never read or write those statements
while keeping s straight face
World spun around
Turned me upside down
Dropped me on my head
On a rocky ledge
Baffled and bungled
Lost in a jumble
Crawling towards the sea
To return to my me
Needing to desolve
And reevolve
To my former self
The one upon the shelf
she looked to you to
turn her life the right way round

you gave her Diamonds
and Queened her with an
Upside Down Crown.
Today I fell up to the ground
The clovers, violets, and grass pulled me upside-down
And I looked back down at the sky
Who am I
to call you infinite?

At my ankles I found the tiniest spider
Methodically dancing
Bound me to the earth with the tiniest fibers
and I'm still here, so
Who am I
to call you infinitesimal?
