He gave me the key to heaven on earth
He being the man in the orange jumpsuit with the dreds
Out on a patio smoking cigarettes, apathetic
It tasted like grated demon bones

He being the man in the orange jumpsuit with the dreds
Twenty dollars I didn’t have was more than worth it
It tasted like grated demon bones
A five hour violent ****** spilling out of my anatomy

Twenty dollars I didn’t have was more than worth it
It punched me in the face and knocked me to the floor, dry heaving
A five hour violent ****** spilling out of my anatomy
I hold a hurricane in my body, blowing my mind destructively.

It punched me in the face and knocked me to the floor, dry heaving
A collection of extraordinary sensations imprinting my psych.
I hold a hurricane in my body, blowing my mind destructively.
Explosions of laughter, I’ve never felt anything so plasticy.

I want you
I need you
Gotta have you
Taste you
Feel you
Touch you, ah
So hot, so warm
Ouch burns so bad
So good, no bad
Bad? Can’t want you
Don’t need you
Replace you
Pain
Is
Weakness
Weakness
Leaving the body
No wait, wait
Hold on, no
Don’t leave me
Shield me
Hide me
Love me
Want me
Stop, stop
Don’t touch me
Don’t call me
Don’t say my name
Like that, no don’t
Can’t need you
Please leave you
Hot and cold
So quickly, stinging
Skin, hurting so
Can’t, can? no
Headaches, tossing
Throbbing heart
Tension of opposites
Ripping me apart

This is a thank you
For everything you do
For looking at me that way you do
With your blue
Well, sometimes, green eyes.

For sitting alone with your guitar
For asking for my number
No matter how bizarre,
How strange I’ve seemed

I’ve seemed to interrupt something.
Some, Thing,
Much bigger than me.
And I don’t want to distract your beautiful soul
I don’t want to strengthen your devilish ego

But I can’t help but miss you
And wish for you
Wanna kiss you
Talk to fish with you
Lie in bliss with you

I know you have to stop doing
And start being
But please
Don’t go.

We could meditate for hours
make halos out of flowers
dream of superpowers
If you’d like.

You can kiss at my door so sweet
It tasted like melted iced tea
**** all the ice cream off my teeth
If you’d like

You can push me up the tallest trees
Even if I cry and scrape my knees
I’ll climb any mountain if I can be next to you
Even though I’m scared of heights.

We can just walk, too.
Around, anywhere we want to
We can talk about anything that crosses our mind
Or say nothing at all, and just hold hands

Nothing takes my breath away
Like the tingling touch of your nervous palm
Whispering against my thigh
Your fingers tracing strange patterns on my backbone.
Quivering. Shivering.

I’ve never felt so sure
About anything before
Nothing feels as real
As your tiny snores
next to me.

I know you have to leave
Not to do, but to be
So you can reach
some sort of
Awake
that I don’t really understand

But just promise me
Please.
Be.
Near me.
I want to hold your hand.

I walk down beaten paths toward a cross

Held defiantly against a brilliant blue sky 

Kneeling beneath it buildings worn and weary, like the

Heavy shoulders I wear into our City of God.

One step in front of the other

Like a soldier in the ranks of this battle against sin, 

Blistering heat upon blistering feet upon blistering street

Lord, can you hear my prayer?  

As I fall to trembling knees,

I contemplate questions left unanswered

Echoing in the barren stone hall

Left to burden disappointed ears.

In response to your letters, all together,

Your love forever kept in my drawers, pretty whispers on paper

In exchange for the pieces of your heart I keep in my room,

A little piece of me for you.

You were mine before you knew me
You were a song I already knew the words to

And when my eyes first shook hands with yours,

I heard that sweet melody play.

I was yours before you had me

My Soul forever tattooed with love for you

A throbbing that kept me awake at night

As my heart screamed your name.



Two fires burning so brightly together,

It was rushing, it was fervent, it was passion uncontained.

It was heat on my cheeks when you kissed my teeth

And declarations of love filling the darkest nights.



It was the goodbyes crushed together tight

Clinging and kissing like we were dying.

It was your fingers fitting perfectly in mine,

It was sweaty fire nervous in your bed.



You opened your hand and offered me the world,

You kissed my neck with promises of tomorrow,

You wanted to walk beside me forever

But I only wanted to fly.



With you I grew stronger,

Without you I grow stronger still. 

Young love too beautiful to understand, 

Two lives tangled together by coincidence or fate

Violently ripped apart by infidelity,

The Flesh's betrayal to the Soul.

Maybe our paths will cross again

But until then all I offer is this;
This letter perfumed with soft kisses and memories of yesterday,

Ghost finger tips tracing my backbone, 

I breathe in the scent of your skin

And wonder.
