I found your brown eyes in the crowd
that was enough for me
I felt you like a cigarette smoke in my fresh lungs
and it was enough
                                                    to **** me.

My guard dropped like an anvil from the sky
I never knew I was up so high
So alone
Freezing from the inside
Hiding lies in lust when love would've done fine
//On love and loneliness//

melodies.

Emily
melodies of
planets lay sprinkled
into your fingertips.

i play each one, pressing
my lips to the pads,
glowing as you lull me
off into a slumber full of

you, and of me, and of us.

Her eyes were like fire.
They weren't red or anything.
Not particularly warm, either.
They didn't glow or "appear to glow,"
whatever that means.

But they had that same strange blend of
familiar and miraculous---
and they were always nice to look at
after a long day of doing things.

You had sunshine
In your eyes
but
I was looking
For the moon
(It's okay to fall out of love)

Seven Years

It took me seven years
to realise
the words in my mind
were too deep for
my mouth to dig up
I thought it was easier
to open my skin
and let the truth
pour down my arms

It took me seven years
to realise
nobody should be allowed
to touch parts
of your home
or hold pieces  
of your heart
that you don't yet understand

It took me seven years
to realise
I will wear these scars
forever
I'll carry them
through every smile
every kiss
every concerned gaze
I'll carry them
to my grave

It took me seven years
to realise
the pain carved
into the walls
of my castle
etchings of
attempting to disappear
are not a story of weakness
but a tale of
how I survived
