the words
on the rough page
capture my attention
more than anything else in the world.
i just spent five hours reading.

love yourself
get lost
in your own eyes
let any tears
that touch your cheeks
turn your lashes
to gardens

in the spirit of renewal,
i begin the journey

and find myself stuck

all these memories come alive
and i do not know how to tell you

i never forgot

Five seconds
The amount of time it takes for you to hide the way you feel
Five seconds
How long it takes for me to believe your feelings are real
Six seconds
Hiding the feelings that you just let slip through
Because after those five seconds are up
You leave me feeling hopelessly confused
And I’ll admit that ever since,
My mind hasn’t stopped thinking
About you.
[That’s what a mere five seconds will do.]
lex Dec 2017
you
and i
are the crash
and bang
of two cars
colliding
going 150 miles per hour
on the open road
that is represented by our hearts
have you ever heard of the phrase
your eyes are bigger than your stomach
well, imagine that

but with us.
our hearts are too big
for our eyes to see
how corrupted this little thing is

and that is destroying us
not based on a true story.
lex Nov 2017
lips long for lips
like the sea longs for sky
like hearts long for love
like candles long for burning
and i long for you
just as much.
