Freezing cold because I deserve it,
That's why I reject things like warmth
Or sweatshirts
Or hugs
When I'm sad and shivering.

I didn't want to tell you why,
Then and there,
When I already seemed so broken to you,
So wounded,
So damaged.

So hurt.

I don't want to burden you with that.
I have trouble letting myself be comfortable,
Because I think I don't deserve it, it makes me a problem.

Recently I've only wanted to sleep.
Change takes a lot out of me.
But I spend my days wide awake,
Because I can't get comfortable enough
Until I know you should be home,
And then I just want to be in your arms.

Your eyes take my breath away,
And I don't feel like catching it.
I miss you so much. Nyah.

just us in this slow-motion moment
of the smile that slowly blossomed across your face
as i described to you, your wings & halo
you kissed my hand, which seems like such a small thing & yet...
you give yourself with so much passion, meaning & grace
through your lips, i could feel your energy flowing into my veins
a lively fire, as if the sun itself had blessed you with it
you appreciated life for introducing us
a deep breath, "i love you with all my heart"
those words dancing in my chest
your eyes twinkling & sparkling
as if the stars decided to rest in your syrup-colored irises
this moment forever locked into my beating heart
& framed in a room in the back of my mind
this moment forever is & forever will be
& i will never forget it

labyrinths
oh boy, where do i start?
the subtext to every movement in the game of life:
"you were in my dream last night" and "deja vu"
as hard as i try to forget you appear in my dreams and
i wonder if i dreamt you up to begin with
and then i wonder if someone dreamt me up to begin with
and someone dreamt them up to begin with
no one mention that ******* leonardo dicaprio movie

what about when a dream turns into a nightmare?
dreams so realistic, you wake up feeling as if you haven't slept at all
dreams that you've dreamt before
i dream while i'm awake

supposedly when you dream of someone, they miss you
do you miss me like my dreams swear you do?

am i dreaming right now?
blink once for yes blink twice for no

We all have our way with words
the way they drip from our throats and whisper through our skin
they are our darkness manifest
our shield from the night
We spin them dizzingly out into space
suffocate ourselves in their tightly-wound taste

I've been here before
I've been warned

I know what I'm getting into
When I pull at these threads
The loose ends in the wall of words
Ever protecting the story underneath

I want to unravel them
And see the human underneath
I don't care if our meanings disagree
I have a rule to dealing with other people
And that is respect whatever is shared and seen

There's no point to living if I'm to be scared of the ones I'm living with
I've chosen to throw caution to the wind
And let the stranger in.

I've read that
The opposite of two
Is "a lonely me, a lonely you."

I'm freezing cold,
Bundled in blankets that can't keep me warm
The way you do.

And I'm not sure
If I'm fire
Or if I'm ice,

All I know is that
Being in your arms
Is really nice.

I'm not entirely sure
If I'm lost
Or if I'm found,

But flying with you
Is so much better
Than being on the ground.
So tired.

no matter how odd
or how old
your taste in music is

there will always be someone
who knows the lyrics
to the songs you sing

and when you find her
or when he finds you

*sing along
and play that music
on
and on
and on
