It's a Sunday night and
we're driving home from Philly
Every memory from
        before you
                                           Is filled with you
in recollection, now
I can't imagine a day
that I've spent
not knowing you
All of my pain,
I've poured into you
You're
            overrrr
f l o w i n g
beside me
You say you don't even mind
And I believe you
The night swallows
you behind the steering wheel
I fall in love with every glimpse of your cheek bones, the yellow street lights allow me
You drive the speed limit
and pull off the side of the road
just to light a cigarette
You mute the audio
when I start to drift into
a dream land with
my head resting on the window
And my hand
                               slipping away
from your's over the middle console

Some days we spend screaming until our voices
break off into puddles on the floor
And then we collapse against each other
and laugh as you imitate
every ugly face I make when I'm angry
Words have become unnecessary between us
But we talk until our throats ache, anyway

I
want
everything
to
do
with
you

I want you to lower your head in
frustration at the foot of my bed
And grab my hand behind your back
I want you to laugh at my sick voice
And take naps in my living room
For the rest of our lives
And I don't care how
many times you make me cry
As long as you're still here to
wipe the tears on their way out
And I don't care how many t shirts you've carelessly left on my bedroom floor
Or how bad you are at cooking pancakes
I don't even care how loud you snore
Or how often you slam the door

I want everything to do with you
And everything doesn't make exceptions

*I was anchored to the ocean floor before I met you, only taking short breaths to get by. You watch for my feet to slip & find new ways to keep my head above every time I start to sink. You're the shore line I've spent my life swimming toward & with your limbs all wrapped around mine, I feel like I can finally play in the sand.

You know how superman is bullet-proof but his one weakness is kryptonite.
Nothing in this world could destroy him except this shiny green rock.
In my head I'm metaphorically bullet proof, I don't break.
Head held high, Heart cold to the core.
I'm scared that one day I'll wake up and realize I'm surrounded by this stupid shiny green rock which is in disguise as your love.
Your love, slowly and patiently, leaving me in ruins.
And I'm getting weaker and weaker everyday, aching for the warmth of your skin.
You know how superman is bulletproof but his one weakness is kryptonite, well I have you as my kryptonite.
With just one look, you leave me breathless, on my knees, begging for more.

Before it all goes to waste, before our lies turn into the truth,
before it all turns into flames, burning our last desire to take it all back to before,
Before we starting this mess.
Tell me you love me before I'm not so near,
before I shed my last tear
And just like a dream I may disappear.

I see your humanity.
A new understanding
of why you chose insanity,
willingly.
You knew what you were becoming.
However what you were protecting;
more importantly,
what she was representing,
was worth repressing
your mind.

Its a shame
your too insane
to remember you changed
*the world.

You're gone

the stars are falling

my heart...

is
broken
