sit with me and feel the rhythm of our pulses dancing together

the beating of our synchronised hearts will cause every bud to blossom
and the leaves will stand on their heads
and every bark on every tree will grow goosebumps

you give me goosebumps
and all i want is for you to absorb all the love i had stored for the rainclouds in your mind so that your internal thunderstorm is whisked away like lava and melted to ashes

your skeleton reminds me of keyholes and i'm struggling to find a key that fits;
i am hoping if i break every bone in my body one is bound to lace with yours
and become trapped like my eyes on your lips

see,
it's easy to reminisce about life and death
but without you there is no life
only a meandering soul captured in a glass jar floating down the river of your veins

blue is the coldest colour;
wrap me up in a room of white
and colour me in blue

paint me
&
smear me
all over the walls
until no more white can seep through

hold on (to me)
my breath is shaking

lay down (beside me)
i need to feel you here

tell me (you'll be happy without me)
you love me,
because i love you

let go (of your feelings)
but hold on tight enough to feel my lungs exhale

i love (you)
your dry sense of humour
your mellow snore at 4am
your crooked smile
your raspy voice in the mornings

do you (love me still?)
still wear your shirt unbuttoned at the top
still gaze at stars wishing you were one
still sit in the garden reading stephen king and glare at flowers that are too easily swayed by the wind

i'm (sad; stupid; alone)
yours

you're (enchanting; wonderful; divine)
not mine (not anymore)
