I can feel
her absence,
like swallowing
a cold
knife. 

The blade 
slices slowly,
deeper
with each
heartbeat.  
Tasting 
sorrow
like copper. 

A cold
steel shard
that rests
against
my heart. 

But will it cut?
Can you still bleed?
Do you love?

Your mind is a map
that I want to spend
the rest of my life discovering.
I want to work my way
through every page
that you have ever created.
Know every street, road and alley
until I can navigate across your thoughts
like the inside of my home.

The past is meant to be undone
The future is meant to be build on
Let go of the past that can't be undone
Join the present to build on the future

they were forceful,
tiring and painstaking.

they destroyed every
atom of me,
to the weakest and
most strongest days,
they were there.

they were my companion,
the one who i shared everything with.

they were tiny voices
that repeated the same
words and phrases,
drowning myself.

they weren't human,
they were **me

Broken hearted girl
lived like she had no cares in world
then one day she looked up
and realized she was alone
her broken soul shattered floor
She was a broken hearted girl

Woke up in the morning
went on her way
smiled as people passed
all they did was wave
they never say her frowning eyes
they didn't notice when she drifted away
to them she never changed

Broken hearted girl
lived like she had no cares in world
then one day she looked up
and realized she was alone
her broken soul shattered floor
She was a broken hearted girl

I wish
we could drive
out to the middle
of nowhere  with
you and talk
under the stars

I want






I dont know what I want
But I need
I need you

Whisper sweet words to my ears,
echo to me your favourite poem
mark your territory on my skin
make my body feel electric
for my body is your canvas
And this is art we're making.
