i spend too much time on my makeup
to let you mess up my mascara.

I am shaking
as the room caves in
the tears rush down
I can't breathe
unable to scream
unfound
lost
alone
caved in

when a poet falls in love with you
you can never die
they will notice the way
you rub your palms and look down
when someone is angry at you
and the way you smirk
as you pull away from a kiss

they will notice how you can't sleep
without your body touching someone else's
how you never crease any pages of books
and how you close your eyes when you dance in your kitchen
with your record player on

they will find all of the words
that they see you as
and turn them into something beautiful

people say you die twice
once when you stop breathing
and when someone says your name
for the last time

if you fall in love with a poet
they will never stop
mentioning your name
you will be alive
for eternity

Hey, you
Do you know,
that I love you?
Do you know,
that you are dearer to me,
than all the bats,
In all the caves of the world?
Do you know,
that I will do,
anything,
for you?
Do you believe,
every word,
I say is true?
Hey, you
look at me,
let me hold your hand,
You do know,
you are the most important thing,
to ever exist in my life?

Though you might be having a bad day
I want you to know something
I will always be here for you
And I will always love you
I don't care how stupid it is
I will listen and try to help
You are not worthless
In fact, You are worth the world
Never think down on yourself
Because you are amazing
The world shouldn’t own you
You should feel like you own it
