haley
it occurs to me that i am alone
more than not
and that maybe
it's my fault.

maybe
i push people away
maybe
i should have asked you
to stay.

i know - you always say - that i need to try
i need to reach out
i need to make plans
but plans fall through
and friendships end
and i am tired of
endings
so i've stopped creating
beginnings.
and maybe that's how i like it.

When she’s hot
She’s very, very hot
And when I’m hot,  She melts
So drown us both with gushing hose
And soothe our steaming pelts!
It's awfully British to moan about the heat after a while, but it's so rare that we should just get on and make the most of it!

Skulls
i dreamed
of ****** knees,
torn flesh under my fingernails
and sweet catharsis in the sticky mess.

your eyes, wide
opened up like your mouth;
you screamed,
high and frightened,
a little girl underneath a grown man's skin.

i wish this was not common,
and i have built this cage of blood and scars;
if you are worthy, break it open
(but i hope you fly away)

Three years ago
I met you.
I said hi.
You said it too.

Three hours later
I knew for sure.
I liked you.
I was already yours.

Three weeks after
I knew it all.
Favorite color, song,
Position in football.

Three months later
You had control of my heart.
I gave you the key
At the very start.

Three minutes ago
You broke me in half.
You'd had enough
and left with a laugh.

Three seconds ago
I cried to myself.
I put my feelings away
On the back of a shelf.

Three months from now
I'll be okay.
I'll forgive myself
And maybe you one day.
You're something exquiste,
Unique and different.
You have opened my eyes,
to the unfair world we call our lives.
Late night talks about our forevers,
but seperate.
It could never be.
You're Romeo, I'm Juliet,
it is forbidden and in the end, we'd only be committing suicide.
But you have my name,
you have my trust,
you have my interests....
Most importantly, you have my heart, if only  a piece of it.
You have my soul.


You Have My Name.
What if I said the world is standing still...
But it's my mind that keeps spinning.

That time has stopped...
And you can inspect me more closely for what I really am.

I fall.
I fail.
But I also love.
And I love you.

Just looking into your eyes makes my heart race.
As if I am looking into them for the first time all over again.

Your charm still makes me blush.

I failed this evening...
I didn't make you smile.

So now you lie in bed sleeping...
As I pick apart my mind...

For the things I shouldn't have said.
For the things I should have done.
