Talking myself into being
okay with the vacant space between us
No words, nothing but empty lines  
It used to be more, it used to be beautiful
A collection of memories
Ones they say last forever
But love, I don't believe it
The moments that seemed everlasting
slipped through the edges of my mind
leaving nothing but traces of dust,
Like they were never there in the first place
Traces of pretty times & pretty smiles
I miss those the most,
the days before I doubted and you drifted away

Violet desire
A beautiful Silhouette,
doing nothing but being everything
The gleam in your eyes tell
story's of a past
Story's of a future
Your presence is your gift,
with your words of art
You make the mouths drop
& the people talk for hours
of this illustration a true delight.

Trying to teach me my worth
through your Crimson lips
Don't look at me with those angel eyes,
Making it near impossible to escape
Blood orange, my slim figure
and a snap of the finger
Is that all it usually takes?
A soul of the night, clinging to darkness
But I've become too bright
You wear your skin as a disguise, covering up the feelings that rest beneath the surface

A powerful heart,
Covered in suede and dripping with rouge
Pour me out a glass of that red amber,
But try not to taint it with your touch.
For that is my weakness
All consuming, all controlling
Like a rose you carry so much appeal,
Always looking blushed but leaving my hands severed with every connection.

I learned loss when you walked out the door,
Without a second glance or a warning
When the rain turned to sunshine and
You still weren't around to pick up the phone
When my hair got long & I grew a little taller
I learned what I liked and who I liked,
What interested me &
what I was passionate about
I wanted so badly for you to know who I was
But I couldn't walk in and tell you
We were miles away in distance,
And even farther apart in heart

The people who are supposed to stay
always make it look too easy to walk away
And how quick the people we used to know,
become strangers
It happens lighting fast, overnight
the blink of an eye
But shouldn't  we know by now?
There is comfort in pearmance
But forever is just a myth
Living along side good intentions
& happily ever afters
We want to believe every word that's spoken
So we look past the moments of darkness

Beautiful boy I see your eyes in mine
When I look in the mirror
After every cry, after every worry
You know the struggle
you've lived it and it lives in you
Maybe that's why I feel so close to you
You make me feel like I'm not alone
Like I'm not the only person in the world who lives with these burdens
I see you halfway,
when your dark shade starts to shear
And that's how you see me too
