They say things are written in the stars
Burning orbes of flame and passion
How can anything be written in the stars
If it’s written in the stars it burns instantly
Melting into oblivion
Stinging behind your eyes
Burning in your mouth like the taste of chapstick and old kisses
The taste of you stuck in my mouth
The smell of you stuck on  my shirt
The thought of you stuck in my mind
If its written in the stars I don’t want it
You can’t stop things that are meant to be
Washing away the past like waves over the sand
Carved into a tree only to regrow and reform into something so similarly new
I want something permanent
I don’t need approval, I need you more
I need the headache that can’t be cured by pain medication
I need the taste of your chapstick
I need the heat of your breath
I need the tase of your lips
I need the how cold my skin feels when your lips are gone
It makes me need you
It makes me miss you
It makes me want to think we could be written in the stars and it just might work
Seeing your eyes as burning orbes of flame and passion
Melting my fear into oblivion

No
Means no
But no
Means yes
Moving pieces like a strange game of chess
Thoughts in my mind in a tangled mess
Heart beating out of my chest

Silence is sometimes my answer
Silent and elegant
Stripped from being natural like a ballet dancer
Leaps and turns move about the stage
But one spot still remains
As many times and words on a page

People want to be pushed
A little shove to fall but know they can
Keeping up their strength, prove they’re a man
People want to be pushed
Asked over and over and over
Saving and answer like a four leaf clover

watercolors are beautiful but always bleed over
The colors flood into the other
Light enough to create a clear color and not muddy
But they still mix
They’re never the same as before
They’re never like the rest of the painting

Ice left out too long becomes warm
Coffee left out too long becomes cold
It all depends on where you start
From warmth
To ice
Being left out and forgotten changes you
“The only thing constant is change”
But nothing is permanent, even change
You find your warmth or your relief
That compliments you in unbelief
The sound of their voice more melodic than unexpected compliments flowing from the lips of angels
Simple listening unwraps your life in tangles
But distance grows only for a moment or a few days
You forget their voice, the familiar ways
Something so sweet yet you succumb into tears
Longing only to hear the sound of their words
The rate and inflection like songs sung by birds
To hold their hand tight
feel their body so near
Is all that you need to erase all the fear
Words from their mouth like kisses on ears
Floating on waves with depth of the ocean
Raise his hand up to silence commotion
Commanding divinity makes  frozen hearts melt
And boils your blood
Starting you back in the ice and coffee like mud

Why
Why
Can’t time
Stand still now
Why won’t it stop
Can’t see where to go
Stand still for just 5 minutes
Why won’t it make sense going forward
Can’t I just turn around and see it
Stand on top of time and watch it from up here

The worst kind of pain is falling in love with your best friend. Someone always so near yet you can’t have them. It’s different because I know you love me, I knew it the first time you kissed me. The first time I felt you hand on my cheek. It’s heartbreaking knowing you feel for me but still loved her all along. I understand how you can say you love her and still kiss me so sweetly but I don’t understand why you won’t tell me how you really feel. I try and hide the fact that I love you with jokes and little white lies, but every time we joke about getting married it hurts to say “we both know that it never could happen.” I tell you I adore you, instead of I love you. Because you may love me but I’m in love with you. I can’t stand to hear my favorite voice say words i know mean different than what i want them to. You voice still rings inside my head telling me that it’s okay, I know it’s okay but not in my mind. My troubles cloud me with gray. I “fit perfectly” in your arms you tell me more and more but you won’t loose me over some relationship, long or short. I just want you. I want you here. I want you all for me. You tell me that you get jealous when I talk to other guys. I ask you why and laugh inside because I do just the same. I hate the late night concerts you go with her, not me. I hate that she’s not even your girlfriend and the one that is, is needy and deserves to be free. I want to be your best friend, because you’re mine. I want you to notice that it was me all along, but it won’t happen that way. Your jigsaw puzzle you say is complete when I hug you is missing a piece that you too from me, my heart it’s made of steel. But still will melt when it’s hot enough, and you make my eyes burn. Burn past the point of fiery tears to melting of my heart. I cry and cry and flood my heart with channels deep and wide because I know you have a boat that can sail right through with ease. I’m still not the one, I still get jealous. I still adore you but I’m also deeply, madly, passionately in love with you.
