Look into my eyes.
You should be drowning
In the seas of compassion and love.

Look into my eyes.
You should be burning
From the intense warmth of my affection.

Look into my eyes.
You should feel overwhelmed
By the strength of my resolve.

To love you.
To protect you.
To never leave you.

you told me you loved
red, blue, and geometry—
and the next morning
i found red
lines on my back
and blue
circles on my neck.
i know you've read
the things i've written.
i know you know
the things i've done.
we share a secret within
the line of our vision.
we never spoke about it.




we never spoke about it.

"Goodnight, I love you.
I always will."

My hand reached out, ready to take hers.
"My hand's covered with scars," she said.
My hand reached out, ready to take hers.
"My hand is attached to baggage," she said.
My hand reached out, ready to take hers.
"You'll just take your hand away when I'm near," she said.
My hand reached out, ready to take hers.
"You'll judge what you'll see," she said.
My hand reached out, ready to take hers.
And she took it. My hand grasped with her's;
Firm, and yet gentle.
And I'll never let go.

i knew he
didn’t love me,
but i adored him
anyway.
