Am I your rose?
A unique love under the bell jar?

I look at you, You look at me
Your prussian blue eyes
Pierce my being

A love that is ethereal,
Divinely orchestrated
A symphony of sweet surrender
The Angels sing I love you

Come to your rose,
Tend to me
I am no common rose
I am your rose,
I am unique in all the world,
Because of the time you have wasted on me.

he bought her flowers
and i watched.

i'm thinking
back
to the time
when you tore
a flower
from
my own garden
and gave
it to me.

it felt like
a lot
like love.

i'm wondering
what it would be
like now that
you are
what's that word again?
independent
oh yeah
independent
i'm wondering
what it would be
like now
that you're independent

you have that car of yours
your own house
your own life
was i just too little
too late?

what she's getting now
is what i wanted
back then

were you
just too
little
too late
for me?

you grew up fast
just not fast enough
for me.

all grown up now, aren't you?
feels a whole lot like
i raised you.

i wasn't in it for the roses
i was in it for the love
but i'm finding
that roses
die
slower than love.

it's you.

i would have never known
unless i saw
the light meet your face
that morning.

neither of us are early risers,
but i couldn't waste
a second.

above me,
at 6:40 in the morning,
a perfect blend of
blue, gray, and sincerity,
which was born
on the rising sun,
peered through an ivory curtain,
and landed on a gentle face.

infinity soaked gaze,
honey coated touch,

your color was
the crisp mountain air
through a rolled down
Jeep window.

your color was
a John Prine record
and local barbeque

your color was serene.
it was the light's reflection of
a summer enveloped
by two people
in love with
right now.

I'm afraid
to look at you
because maybe
you'll be looking back
and I'll be reminded of the
ways my heart learned to love
the person you pretended to be
♥️

You left love notes
Written along my ribcage
You said the spaces
Made perfect lines for poetry
My skin still remembers
Even after I washed you off

I've started hating all
of the music that
I love
and maybe it’s because
I hear you in every
song

if i were to admit
that the reason I lose
countless hours of sleep
is because of you
would that be enough
to make you stay?

With just tangency
You touched  
Skin on Skin
You can change
Somebody’s mind and feelings.

With just words
You wrote
Ink on Paper
You can clear
Somebody’s mind and emotions.

With just strength
You built
Stone on Earth
You can shelter
Somebody’s mind and body.

With just strength
You destroyed
Homes
You can shatter
Somebody’s mind and soul.

With just words
You overwrote
Meaning
You can erase
Somebody’s mind and thoughts.

With just tangency
You hurt
Someone
You can leave
Somebody’s mind and heart.
