You peeled back
all of the layers of my existence
to reveal cracks
in my weathered being.
My soul eroded and destroyed
from the harshest of rains
and the most unforgiving storms

If I am left,
Then he is right.
If he is day,
Then I am night.
If he is right,
Then I am wrong.
If I am dusk,
He is dawn.
If I am here
Then he is there.
If he is grounded
Then I’m in the air.
If I am weak
Then he is strong.
And if things don’t change
Soon he’ll be gone

Every time I opened a door
I pray that when I walk through
I’ll be transported to another universe
Where you’re at home waiting for me
On the other side

I love you,
Ask me to stay and I will.
Tell me you love me
And I will drop everything
And stay.

Standing late at night,
Your arms wrapped tight around me
It all stopped falling

He finds beauty
In all of the ugliest corners
Of my existence
And trails kisses on my scars
Sweetly,
Tenderly.
His lips plant flowers
In the cracks of my skin
Until nothing but beauty remains

He leaves little wild fires
As he trails his fingers along my skin
And softly breathes life back into me.
Is this love?

It wasn’t until I met you
That I realized people
Are supposed to live
In your heart.
That’s why it has chambers.

They say “eyes are the windows
To the soul”
And yours, my love,
Are made of stardust

In another life,
You’ll come home to me.
But for now I’ll just have
To miss you
In this one

And as I stand
Alone
In the dead of night
I will whisper
The immortal words
“I love you”
And hope a shooting star
Catches them on its way by
And brings them
To you.

I feel so broken
And alone.
My lungs are on fire,
The home you built inside my heart
Set ablaze
And my love for you crashes over me
Like waves.
Cold as they move through the space
In my chest that you once occupied.
And though strong and unforgiving,
Still unable to salvage the burning home.
And I am alone in the dark
Waiting for it
To consume me

In you I found myself
And in you I lost myself
