I've become so deeply infatuated with you,
I'm becoming paranoid to the idea of you unraveling me and finding nothing,
I'm afraid of losing something that was never mine to begin with,
I'm afraid of losing time that I wasn't rewarded with,
You are my sea your waves brush my gentle skin,
You are my home your eyes remind me of comfort,
You are a mystery like another galaxy I'm willing to explore,
Lay here with me while the rest of the world fades away,
I love you so much.

my pale skin in sunlight
Lejla Feb 2014
The sun is radiating on my pale skin,
I'm smoking a cigarette wondering if this is my last one,
The memory of all the pain is imprinted like old photographs,
I have bags under my eyes like they've never witnessed rest,
I have lips that match my blood,
The sun is radiating on my pale skin,
The voices haunt me they repeat your voice in my head,
The moon is controlling the ocean inside my brain,
I hope thing's start making sense for me.

This ones for you bae
Lejla Jan 2014
The light in my soul flares when you're on my mind,
I've been in this dark room for so long,
You cannot grow a garden in the dark,
Your significance is so natural I can feel the sun inside me,
The planets are orbiting against my skin,
The oxygen resembles your essence,
You're in my blood baby.

Arctic Sadness
Lejla Jan 2014
Your eyes remind me of a car crash,
I should not be looking but I can't seem to turn away,
You're in so much pain,
I can feel your insides weeping for someone to save you,
I've been swimming in the Arctic Ocean searching for you,
I'm so cold and I can feel flames between us,
You're dying from all the sadness filling into your lungs,
I'm afraid that it's too late to be able to pump the water out of you,
Your voice reminds me of my childhood,
Innocent but so miserable,
If we die here tonight we can sink like stones under the moon light,
If we die here at least we'll be intertwined and not alone.

Stardust
Lejla Dec 2013
I love every inch of you,
every vein in your body,
every atom in your dna,
even those little details that you hate so much,
I could write about the universe inside you,
how stardust is pouring out of you,
how I get chills when you whisper my name,
I could sing all day with the trace of your lips imprinted onto mine,
Im infatuated with every molecule in your body,
I wish I was the plasma running through your veins,
I wish I was the energy running through your aura.

enlightenment
Lejla Jan 2014
I have so much happiness in my veins,
If I was to cut myself id bleed enlightenment,
I have so much compassion in my bones,
If I were to die I hope a piece of me remained with you,
I have so much appreciation in my eyes,
If I were to go blind my dreams would be full of memories of you.

Dandelion
Lejla Jan 2014
I’m surrounded by roses while I’m just a dandelion,
The wind blows me away and I’m broken into pieces,
I want to disappear into the atmosphere,
The only trace left was my stem,
Now I’m home.

bloodstream
Lejla Jan 2014
I hate how your memory is stitched onto my veins,
I spent all day in bed trying to scrub you off my skin,
I spent all night trying to escape these shadows,
I can't seem to allow myself to let you walk towards the light,
I'm waiting for something that's never existed,
It's so cold here and I can't feel my heart beat anymore,
It's so loud here and I can't hear myself think anymore,
I spent all year hoping to stop this feeling of regret,
I blame myself for all that pain you conjured,
The creature in my bloodstream chews me up,
I can't feel the blood flow through my veins anymore,
I can't hear the strange voices anymore.

Babe
Lejla Nov 2013
Your essence hit me harder than an ocean wave hit the shore line,
My aching soul is manifesting a storm,
The tides are washing up the land,
The ground is screaming your name,
The stars are melting in your hands,
You are the moon,
You are the air that I breathe,
You are my solar plexus.

I'm here to document all the pain,
I'm here to write about the blood in my veins,
I'm here to depart from all the loneliness,
Please inhale me like you used to,
Consume me as your deadliest addiction,
Overdose on my affection,
You are the air that I breathe,
I am the dark side of the moon,
I am the last cigarette in between your teeth,
I am the scar tissue you regret,
I am the blizzard warnings,
I am the reason hurricanes are named after people like me,
Please forgive me,
Please appreciate me like you used to.
Lejla Feb 2014
my mind is scattered over the walls dripping words that my mouth couldn't speak,
my thoughts are unraveled and they're sinking under the floor boards,
my body is an abandoned structure but it's your favorite place,
your lips stain my cheek after you tell me how awful I am to you,
your words chew me up like I'm your favorite meal,
I indulge myself into your nature,
you are my favorite painting but the artist was sleepy when he created you,
you are my favorite combination of sounds,
you are my favorite human out of the 8 billion.

Smother Me
Lejla Jan 2014
I want to live in the deepest parts of your mind,
I want to be the reason behind it all,
I want to be the passion in your eyes,
Smother me,
I want to be the aching feeling in your body,
I want to be your muse,
Smother me,
I want to the touch in your finger tips,
I want to be the waves that are sent away,
I want to be the one that got away,
Consume me before I'm just a memory,
Smother me,
Smother me,
Confess your love for me.

you're my mermaid
Lejla Mar 2014
Your eyes hold me together like I'm your favorite painting,
I'm a bit bruised and my hands are all scraped up.
I've been trying to sculpt statues of my heart for you,
I'm a bit rusty and my thoughts are matching the walls.
Your fingers are wired into my skin like you're the electricity in my brain.
You shock me like a thunder storm, the lightning burns so much.
I'm a bit startled the dopamine in my veins scream your name,
I wrap myself with my bed sheets wishing it was you,
You hold me together better than this city i'm in.

Alone
Lejla Nov 2013
This pain sinks into my skin,
I'm swimming in a lagoon full of memories of you,
My chest craves a heart beat to intertwine with my own,
I'm so alone,
In this freezing temperature,
All I can think about is your soft touch on my skin,
I'm missing you as much as my veins miss the blade.

Medication
Lejla Dec 2013
Your voice is my subconscious,
Your lips are my medicine,
You are the cup of coffee that I need in the morning,
You are the long shower I need when I'm feeling a bit blue,
I'm the long and restless nights that drive you insane,
I'm the disease that you feel in your bones,
I don't have the slightest clue,
Why I'm in love with you.

The grass isnt greener on the other side,
Its very dark and shadows linger worse than old lovers,
The sky isnt very majestic anymore but more dull and washed out,
The stars arent there anymore to keep you company when youre sad,
Youre just floating with no emotion pumping through your soul,
Youre just swimming in freezing water and you feel at home,
The grass is really sharp so please stay on the pavement.

I'm so awake,
The universe is within me,
I'm floating up in the sky,
My mind is enlightened,
I've become so lonely,
I've made up my own universe,
The sky is gray matter,
The trees are mountains,
I cannot tell the difference,
My dreams are so vivid.

I can feel the gasoline drip from your body like sweat,
I can see the bruises your lover left on your legs,
your hands are shaking and tears are running down your face,
you scream "wanna see a magic trick?"
youre only speaking to the walls and the space between the flames,
theres something so beautiful about destroying the things you love,
your heart was so cold all you wanted was some heat.

Time doesn't exist
Lejla Nov 2013
In a world where time didn't exist,
Your funeral took place,
You looked so innocent and pure,
You didn't look miserable anymore,
The atmosphere was weeping your name,
That moment something in me snapped,
In a world where time didn't exist,
I begged for you to come back,
Flowers grew over your grave,
The memory of you lingered,
You completely lost your mind,
You looked everywhere for it and no one was kind,
In a world where time didn't exist,
All I wanted was more time.

overdue letter
Lejla Jan 2014
You've never felt loneliness until you've seen an x-ray of my bones,
You’ve never felt pain until you’ve seen my flesh melting off my skin every time you forgot my birthday,
You've never felt like a ghost until you fade like yesterday's news,
I used to name my battle wounds after you,
I used to spend long nights over you,
I thought happiness was somewhere in your voice,
You've never felt heartache until the only hope you had left you.

Better in the dark
Lejla Jan 2014
I can feel this insomnia digging into my bones,
I can feel the walls laughing at me while I sink into my bed,
I can feel comets falling into my skin,
My brain is constructing the darkness into supernovae's,
I'm becoming to realize my acquaintances are all in my head,
I've had so little sleep that my grip on reality and emotions have left me,
The planets are spinning and here I am still waiting,
The nights become longer and my body has become weaker,
If I had the ability to dream I would hope the sun rises,
The darkness has imprinted me to believe that the light is fictional.

I want to create something beautiful and pure within the darkness that lingers in your eyes,
I want to be the sigh of relief when you don’t wake up in the middle of the night in fear,
I want to be the space in between your fingers when you feel lonely,
I want to be your spine so I can always hold you together even when you feel like you’re falling apart.

I realized that leaves have veins just like the ones under my skin,
we are the same,
I realized the horizon painted all my favorite colors,
I wonder if I'm the inspiration,
the sun's rays warm my cold body,
we are the same,
I realized the moon is as lonely as my insides,
we are the same.

Missing you
Lejla Dec 2013
My shadow lingers on my skin,
Just like the memory of you,
The way your lips used to trace,
The way your fingers used to map out,
The way your eyes used to gaze,
Man oh man,
Why does something so amazing have to fade,
Why does everything so sad have to stay.

You make my heart sink like stones in the ocean,
But you also make me feel like Im floating,
I never really understood this feeling,
How easily it is to drown,
When you thought you could swim.
