If I could have save time in bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save everyday 'till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true;
I'd save eveyday like treasure and then,
again,  I would spend them with you

The globes shattered
Into the floor
Like pieces of the earth
Our earth, see
I tried to put them back together
But the bass was too loud
Erupting the satellites
Igniting thoughts between
Brainwaves
Not like the numbness
That's been happening in my throat
When I think of her
Sitting on your bed
It's hard to swallow
There's this familiar
Ache in my chest
And it feels like yesterday
When you let go of my hand

I was always convinced you could feel me
We were of the moon and of the tides
(But) too stubborn to attempt another ride

I wanted you to know everything
in my eyes.
The truth
when I deliberately told you lies
and the expense of a life in a heart before it dies.

You would be gone too soon
All of this and heaven too
I would wander, I will roam
I will find decadence in alone.
I would dream, I will achieve
Everything only after you leave

You are the anchor chained to my throat,
You are the sand in a shallow moat.
You are the power in my stare,
You are the guilt after an innocent dare.
You are the face in the shadows on the wall
You are the fear in the Devil's call

The invitation to come in
Join a game you cannot win.
But I play, but I play
And forgive the day
Forgive and move away
The state lines you will cross
To lasso me in, refuse your loss
Of my heart, of my head

Your place in the poems I have read

My heart's a wristwatch
The spiel keeps spinning
I follow it with my eyes
The gears turn and click
And
I want to turn it over
Turn it back, like stones
But
The sheets stay blank
No matter how many words
I spin together beneath my eyelids
My mason jar is still full of you
It tastes like raspberries
And
Forest floors
When I asked you to look inside my mouth to see if they stained my cheeks red
Your face found the cool side of the pillow
And
Your laughter fell into it
The shade of blue
On the wall reminds me
Of fireflies falling out of our mouths
I wanted to swallow them
And
Glow from the inside out with you

Tank tops and sweaters,
And coats.
I pull them over paper thin, skin.
Leggings that hug my waist
Because beneath this, jacket
I won't be able to feel your hands.

Socks and boots,
And maybe something with a hood.
My fingertips are ready, for the cold
I want them to go numb with it.

The last time you touched, me
I swore I was dying.
You breathed into my lungs
And I could feel, the flowers
Emerging beneath my ribcage.

When you sat up, I pulled on my tshirt
And slipped
My arms into a sweater,
As if that would stop the thorns from poking through my skin.
I went for a walk because I couldn't feel my toes.

Onions have layers, if you peel back
All of them
You're left with nothing but red eyes.
When I got home I stood in the doorway; and whispered

*Take them off
