i was going to say i didn't need words to
understand that your heart was singing
that i could see you blush mildly,
your eyes lit up when i smiled.

then i remembered you couldn't hear me.

goodbyes are easier when they are unspoken
but those are the ones that suffocate you the most

Her lips are cherry blossom and her skin is tan.

Back when I was happy
Dandruff in my hair
Skin peeling
Into wings

Looking crazy
I didn't care
I was able to fly
on the tallest buildings

I'm full of emotion

All tip topsy turvy

With laughter billowing

Out of my pursed lips

And the sun is beating down

Through the half-down windows

Of your beat up Chevy truck

As it bounces down these country roads

Your hand loosely grips

The black leather steering wheel

While the other hand precariously

Balances a cigarette between *******

The wind jostles the truck

As you increase your speed

You look at me wildly

Daring me to tell you to stop

Instead, I look back

Studying every fraction of your face
Knowing this would be the last time

That this would be my memory of you

 
 
Wild, free, and beautiful

Daring life to take you away.

four fifty one deg-
ree Fahrenheit; your letters
burning on the stove

Its just us against the World.
