there is one truth of which i'm incandescently certain and that's that nobody can take away a truth as it darkens, a galaxy in a glass; and the truth is that i'd be the only ***** donor in a charity just for you because signals and signs have showed me your soul and you're grander than celestial poles

if i didn't know any better i'd suggest you're the sun and i'm the solar system and i orbit around you and i'm not too sure about humans having wings but imagine:

a snowy cabin some place away from civilisation, you and i and wholehearted communication, you and i and books and fictional integration, you and i and mind blowing realisations, you and i and wings outstretched souring across nations

you are the sun and i am the solar system and although i orbit you i'm never allowed to brush the surface, i'm guessing it's for a purpose so i admire from afar, a gaze stretched over constellations and the sound of your voice bouncing off stars into my hemisphere of tangled webs and ripened tears, the echoing trailing behind merely a souvenir

there is one truth of which i'm incandescently certain and that's this:

the only reason my brain hasn't stopped my heart from beating is because the thoughts of you are giving it meaning and it's hard to breathe with these overwhelming feelings but i'm coping because the broken glass holding my galaxy is healing

i was playing skindred and you were looking at me with an undeniable smirk and i pulled you closer, not with my hands but with my eyes and i can stay awake til 4am writing poetry for you

and i'd never sleep again to write poetry for you

and i'd never talk again so i could listen to all your words and all your stories

and i'd never walk again unless it meant beside you

and i'll never grasp anything tighter than i did you

and i'll never caress anything the way i did you because i'll never be within reach of something more precious

and i want to touch you, not even sexually, i just want to feel the hairs on your arms rise because of my fingertips

you are so pretty
i'd give my eyesight so that the images of you burned into my brain aren't ever replaced

i never did listen to the first words you ever said to me, i was just fixated on your lips and i wish i could remember. i keep wracking my brain because maybe if i remember them we can start all over again and it wouldn’t be the way it is now. maybe if i remember our story retells and i can relive the last 2 years 3 months of my life with an embrace tighter than the moon’s gravitational pull of the tide.

i swear things were never meant to be this way, see, i went to a fortune teller and she said that i’d meet someone who dances with two left feet and you dance with two left feet and a walking stick; you’re not good, at all, but you tried for me and the fortune teller said that it was supposed to last so i’m not sure why i’m sat here in a pool of your love letters trying to find hints of what went wrong. i’m looking for grazes, cuts, scratches, molehills.

i always got told you weren’t good for me anyway and it’s probably better that it happened like this and we’re only young and there’s so many more people in the world i’ve yet to meet but i don’t want to meet people if every trait they possess isn’t yours and i don’t want to meet people if their hair doesn’t fall the same way and i don’t want to meet people whose front tooth doesn’t cower in slightly and i don’t want to meet people if their favourite food is noodles when you hated noodles.

you were good for me because you made me think and i thought about construction and how things are built and how a fire can burn it to the ground because nothing is more powerful than nature itself. i think maybe we were a house but i keep hoping we’re fire and i’ll set fire to the thorns stabbing my heart and it’ll all be on fire everything will be on fire and it’ll be dangerous and exciting, like you and it most likely won’t be good for me but at least it’ll be ******* pretty. i want to hold your hand as my heart bolts out of my chest and melts into a drain outside your house.

there are some things
i’d never admit:
like the fact that
i can’t watch
american horror
story
without feeling
my heart twitch
it’s like a scene plays
over again in my
head, remember?
we were laying
legs intertwined
peaceful on your bed
and i just recall
you taking your
fingers and running
them up my leg
and you gazed at me
(almost longingly)
and you told me
i am beautiful
and no other moments
could compare;
you trailed your
finger over my lips
past my cheek and
combed it
through my hair

i’d never admit that
i could’ve *******
sobbed at the
happiness you gave
me right then
and i felt like i
could have jumped
off a building and
landed again
and again
and you know
that time i told
you i just wanted
to be able to fly?
you’d be the wind
beneath my body
that kept me afloat
and i’d stream past
the clouds like birds
skim lake water and
wow,
you led me like
a pig to slaughter
and the sad thing is
i’d still forgive you
without a second
thought and that’s
what kills me, beats
my insides brutally;
you can stamp on
my skull, crush it
in half yet i’d
welcome you back
with open arms
you’d do it again
and that’s the
bittersweet truth
but honestly
i’d rather that
than lose you
have you gone
for good
you’re the best
and worst parts
of my youth
and i want you
to be the best
and worst parts
of my old age
too
i love you
i hate you
but mostly,
i just want you
