my fingers graze your cold skin
leaving a trail of passion at its wake
i meet your eyes, a constellation
turning the dark into a galaxy
my breath hits your exposed neck
erupting anxiety and carnal need
i taste your sweat and rose perfume
honey and wine for the wicked and free
late nights and early mornings are meant for cognac, coffee, and contemplation

It's foolish to wish on eyelashes, stars, dandelions, numbers, and everything in between

The mere concept of grasping upon straws to achieve our desires in itself has become nonsensical childhood rhymes.

But if it grants me even the smallest placebo of solace in this unforgiving *******, then...

Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have this wish I wish tonight.
I wish to be okay again.

am i in love with you
or am i in love with the idea of being in love with you

are you in love with me
or are you just in love with the attention i give you

do i love you
or do you just make me feel a little less alone
and i haven't felt "together" in a long time so i think i love you

do you love me
or do i just make you feel like you're worth something
and you crave my validation so you think you love me too

are we in love
do we love each other
do we want each other

or do we just need each other
to patch up the holes other people left behind
i hope we're in love

There is no poem.

I have no words to mold and shape into something as beautiful as you.

I have no beats or melodies that I can make with a song or two.

I have no imagination to make all these emotions flow like rivers do.

You ran me dry and ****** out everything I had to show for—as if I had any more left to show for.

Speechless, stagnant, and dumb. That is what you rendered me.

Thanks.
I have nothing to note of.

The dream of tomorrow brought beats to the drum in my chest—creating a rhythm that harmonized into a symphony of passion and eros, thus forming her.

Her who is a dream and reality all at once: ethereal, absolute, agonizing, beautiful.

Her who could only be described by the deepest of devotions, but even then it falls short of what she truly is.

All I am and all I ever will be is her lowly servant, for she is much too sacrosanct to be with me.

I pay no heed as I am forced to split seas and bend mountains, contorting bones and stretching skin—willingly ******* the marrow of life itself all to be within her divine presence.

I have accepted the heart you held in my hand.
I wished to fit it with my own.

But in the process, you kept deliberately cutting my fingers

Was I going too fast? Possibly.
Were my pieces too small? Possibly.
Were the edges too sharp? Possibly.

And yet, I continue to clutch at your shards with ****** palms.
I can't let you go, even if you hurt.
I accepted your heart, and I can't go back on my word.

I will, one day, form a beautiful stained glass portrait of you and I.

No matter how many ounces I bleed, I'll attempt to complete this work of art.
And yet, I ended up shattering more of my own pieces to try and fit them in with yours
Yours, whose pieces weren't meant to fit mine at all
