I want my words to stick to you like poems we read
and my voice to play over your dreams and regret
Hope you'll never paint over the stains that we left on the world underneath us
hope you never forget all the places we road through and the ways that we kissed
I hear your name echo through me like a mistake I miss
And you'll wish I was near you when you're holding your breath
But we can never turn back to the place that we meet
And well wish for a moment a change in the way that you pulled yourself closer and I pushed you away

I hope when she scratches her nails down your thighs and looks up at you, you see my eyes.

Roses are tricky for they have thorns, when distracted by their beauty sometimes you don't notice until you've already been cut.

I wonder, was I your rose?

I'm sorry for making you a stop on the way. You were my hotel room when I was your home.

You are the riddle I never want to stop trying to figure out

So you liked the way her eyes lit up, you liked the way her laugh made your heart skip a beat.

That was okay, until you made me feel you liked the way my eyes light up
and that my laugh made your heart skip a beat.

Part of me likes to pretend you were oblivious to it all.
The way my cheeks reddened when you smiled at me, the way my heart would beat so loud whenever you touched me.
I liked to pretend you didn't notice that when I said your name it made my heart flutter, but then I realized you knew, you always knew.

So if you only liked the way her heart beat for you then why, why did you make my heart beat for you too and then pretend you couldn't hear it?

Watch out for me I'm like a cracked window you'll think you can see yourself in me, you'll think we have things in common, that I'm someone you'd want to know
I can promise I'm more trouble than I'm worth.
I'll pay more attention to the way your eyes squint when you laugh and how your smile is slightly crooked. I'll notice how sometimes you blink slowly and when your nervous you'll play with your hands.
I'll notice these things instead of listening to the words you're saying.
Then I'll write about you until my fingers bleed, I'll spend the next few years choking on your name
Don't fall for me, I'm afraid I'll take you down with me.
