Hold me like a prayer
Broken wings spread
Ready for flight
Caress me like a rose petal
Delicate, fragile, wilting
Fix me like the cars you’re always working on
I’m slowing down
Can’t finish this race
I can’t fly
I’m weighing you down

Would you like to come up for a coffee?
- (smiling) Just a coffee?
- A good coffee is never just a coffee!

Dance with me

your hands in places

I crave you

kiss my neck



Dance with me

till the sun greets

whisper what you need

all your desires



Dance with me

the stars our only light

our bodies

the only warmth

Open the door
Enter the time that lapsed
Draw out the curtains
There is light from the past
Breathe the air
Dance to the tunes slow and fast
Ride the carriages
Travel to the time of chance

Alone, I am happy

          Convinced

            Will never be
Left
             Alone

my first crush committed suicide.
i remember the hurt at a young age
from chasing him around his living room
begging him for a kiss.
from my young age i knew i wanted him
in my life forever.
through his weaves and gagging
running around the furniture and up the stairs,
losing him sounded foreign then
and having lost him now, still feels the same.
our fathers drank and our mothers giggled
born three months apart
our future planned together
both saying "i do"
uniting us all together.
life flew on by
us both fighting with ourselves
and downing the bottles underneath the bed
loaded and silenced
family portraits painted in red
long life memories all put to rest.
only one made it out alive
but it's hard to breathe
out of us how was it me
and you in a little box
where a diamond ring should be.
my mind keeps wondering
when will i stop chasing you
then my heart replays
every time you turned a corner
you looked over your shoulder
and how you smiled at me.
