arriving home at daylight
a twelve-hour light-headed joyride
if you’re at home thinking you should’ve kissed me
you’re right.
ju. so close.

Tell me when you get hurt,
I will take half of it and dance with your tears
I will sing you lullabies till you sleep.

I will tip your face with my fingers gently
till you fall in a nightmare,
You will see you there loving me
and tearing ice shining,
how pretty are you looking like that
I'm  crying
I'm crying.

I want to leave you in that big blue silence
but I can't help but sinking with you deeper
I'm  trying
I'm trying.

You see me there smiling
but you can't do,
you knew it was for someone else
and kept your heart
dying.

wish someone would overanalyze
the things i do and feel
(just once)
the way i do with everyone else

i don't want to be helpless
i don't want to be functional and gone
it's a difficult problem to optimize
the best heuristic so far has been a slightly romanticized approach

it goes like this:

i build my armour, but it's made of flowers
it's not as heavy
and i'm always ready to pick one and give to you and show you what's inside

i still have it in me to fight for it
to say that i believe they'll always grow back

they say everything in life is
t e  m   p    o     r      a       r        y
but,
so far,
not my desire,
to. go. against. the. flow.

i am a graveyard of withered bouquets
of "writing..." dots in unsent texts
i am a house of cards of daydreams
a food bank of old birthday cakes

no real person can provide you with everything

You can lift me
with merely a smile
my head tilts at the sight of you

I want you near  
stroking my hair
gazing through my eyes

Speak to me more
about you and your interests
anything you can possibly share

You can see me
in the days and nights
when my hand reaches out to you

I want you here
cradling my arms
submerging through my mind
missing someone who caught my eyes and mind
