Life seems so odd
Because for the first time
In forever I'm happy
For the first time in a while
I can smile with liberty
I'm finally who I want be be
I'm finally **HAPPY
Find yourself
I don't lose myself
in your eyes.
Quite the opposite,
my dear.
I look deep into
those eyes of yours
I love so much,
and there is where
I find myself,
because I was
quite lost before.

Stellar
I've been writing our initials
on every coin i throw into the wishing well
I've been painting your hazel eyes
on every sheet of gold and linen
I've been driving at 1am
on the same road we first met
I've been tracing the burnt marks
you left on my chest
I've been biting my lips
with the hope of tasting you again


You  are  a  (hard)  bad  habit  to  *break­
i fall in love with people
in moments of innocence

last night
after dinner with my parents
in the car ride back home
i realized i love you

you were playing with my hair
because you knew my head hurt
simple things like this
mean a lot to me

then i started running my fingers through your hair
and i just looked at you
while doing that
and i thought to myself
"i love you"

it was something so innocent
like this
that made me want to take care of you

then on your own
you sat up and said it was my turn again

you could've been selfish
but instead you wanted to make me happy

you're my best friend
and i've fallen in love with you

Geli A
I started the habit of falling inlove with boys
who have second names, when I was fifteen years old.
Half drunk at a party and seeing you at a corner.
Smoldering in the fire of a deep dark secret.
And here I am, dying to take the flame between my lips,
so it may scorch every inch of my being.
I watch you take a cigarette,
cradle the burn between your lungs.
It made me want to reach inside your chest.
To feel the smoke between your ribs, pass my fingers
So I ran out of my perfectly still house
into the hearth of your heart
Only to run inside the chaos of a burning city.
