baby lie with me
with your hand
beneath my back
your gentle fingertips tracing
the outline of my ribs on my
bare chest

i've got my hand on
your chest
i can feel each
heartbeat,
your heart fluttering gently like
a caged butterfly

the sun melts
slowly
like watercolour behind the hills
and we continue
to lie
there
just the two of
us

there was no
tomorrow
only the
moment
of the
night

love me in words and phrases
until you can no longer sing
mercy mercy mercy
i crave your love
mercy baby

solar systems.
we are just one of the many in the universe.
but in the mess of planets and stars,
i found you.

I love you, and because I do...I want you to find someone who loves you as much as I do—more, if possible. Because you can't love me, because you don't want my love, don't want me. But I love you more than anything, enough to let you go if you ask, enough to stay knowing I'll never be your person, enough to be your friend when it's killing me, enough to wish you a love that's legendary with someone you love back.

I don't want to write about how you're destroying me in ways I still didn't know I could break, but you are. I still won't say the words, the words make it real. If I say the words, I'll have to do something about it. I won't. I won't ever leave you.

I'm addicted to you
Just like how I'm addicted to the sadness that courses through my veins
And the cigarettes that burn my lips
And the needles that leave bruises on my skin
But of all these addictions
You'd have to be the worst to ever touch my skin

95% of the time I feel absolutely nothing. But that 5%, god that 5%, I feel everything at once.
