I would withstand a lifetime of sun free and starless skies
to watch
the s u n r i s e
in those eyes
Just one last time

Some days it as though you never left
Others
there is a swelling cavity surging beneath the bones of my chest

Tell me when do you plan on giving me back my heart?

I’m tired of new beginnings and I’m folding at the thought of fresh starts.

There are only so many times I can break and bend and rise again.

there are times I swear I feel those soft hands
Brush across my sombre skin
Do you remember those nights
We’d forget to remember
where I ended and you’d begin

My mind is on fire with the thought of you.
I can’t put you out, rip the taste out my mouth.

How can I be hers when I have only ever been yours?

She leaves stars in my mouth, sunshine splayed across my tongue.

Love:
Giving someone your heart and trusting them not to tear it right out of your chest.

Your lucid skin stretched itself tight across your cold protruding bones
And you, you'd spent years building up and tearing down the homes
Others had helped you to construct in your heart
you'd spent decades practicing and perfecting the art
of destroying your foundations
and crying
as you watched yourself
fall apart

No matter how lost I am
You always guide me home.

She ignited a fire in me
That I prayed
She would never extinguish.

I miss you
Every second, of every hour, of every single ******* day,
And nothing i seem to do,
Takes that pain away.

Little time for dreaming
Hayleigh Apr 2014
Body vs mind
we are trapped in time
between us
entwined and confined
because we are dreamers.

Every time we kiss I taste happiness on my lips.

Your mother
Twinkles in the pupils of your eyes
your father resonates
in the rivers that they cry.

Home sick hearts

How is it my hands now feel foreign on your once familiar skin?

There's no better feeling than waking tangled up in her skin.

you were dust before i held you
and your memories were tainted
before we fell through
the cavities of each others hearts.

Your name is a forest fire,
ignited, erupting, each time it dances between
his lips
and tumbles down his chin

I wish i could capture the way you look at me
And cram it into a frame
So that i could wake up feeling
Beautiful, every single day.

I spent years building up a picture of you
A scenic view
Only to open my eyes and realise
The holes in the cracks
The gaps in the tracks
You'd fell through
