Late night whispers of endearment
Tossed past our lips onto each other
Slowly being lost.
Slowly being drawn away.
Slowly slipping through my fingers.
Slowly I’m losing you.
Slowly, I whisper your name one last time.
Slowly.
   Slowly.

I stood at the edge of the cliff,
wondering if the death
would be worthy of the fall.

Do you remember the freedom we felt as children,
the one that made our hair fly in the wind as we
cast our dancing shadows on the sidewalks in front of our best friend's house.
or how we used to roll down the biggest hills we could find
until our clothes were green and our skin was itchy.
And now I'm an adult who worries about how she looks in a mirror,
and questions if she could ever be enough.
Now I'm an adult who cries when she sees the pain in her family's eyes as they are reminded of the pain she caused.
Now I'm an adult with way too much love lost emotions that I've drowned in my own blood, sweat, and tears.
Now I'm an adult,
sitting on her bedroom floor,
wondering why she lets the years pass so quickly when she was a child.
Now I'm an adult.
And all I want is to roll down a hill again.

the stars and space,
makeup love just to know your name
and I can hear it
hear the stars explode
just when you call my name.

Even if you never learn to love me
just know
that you were worth all of it.

The shadows of your frost bitten cheeks
Lay in the snow so nicely.
And the embers of your fire
That rages inside you when
You’re alone in the darkest hours,
Melts the ice cold brick around my heart.

Did the paint
Imagine being the picture
Before
