As she lays bare
''Tis not just her eyes
That sparkle amongst stars.

Her skin reflects candle lights
As amber skin mixes
With olive tones.

hourglass sand falls with my jaw
Drying my bottom lip with nerves
Yet excitement and lust.

Feather like touches tingle
Every sense of being alive
As our hearts murmur in time.

Palpitations even match rhythm
In this alchemists dream bond
That doesn't exist on the periodic table.

Our heats radiate screaming,
As your goosebumps on my fingertips
Tickle me back, teasing my nerves.

''Twas the night I finally realised
My heart could once fly again
And you were the one to make it.

Even a singular night felt like forever,
Grasping our chance, and gasping
With pure, destined passion.
I think it's self explanatory this one haha!

there was a mirror in my room
with eyes that only observed.

its seen me bare, naked.
its seen me clothed, covered.

its watched me grow, become.
its watched me fade, breakdown.

and when i shattered,
so did that mirror.
I remember sitting with my legs crossed
at an empty parking lot with you.
Burning our lungs,
sharing our deepest secrets at 3am
while I rest my head
on your shoulder that cold summer night.
I sang along our favorite songs
and you wished that time stopped
so we could still be together.

But alas,

You are still too damaged.
You think too much.
You are too practical.
You are not yet ready for anything.

And I’m left confused
and angry
and frustrated
and a little bit hurt, I guess.

So here we are again,
so here we go again.

Who would have thought
that we would actually
burn even faster
than our cigarettes?

There are hidden worlds
Inside the cosmos of your existence
And I've fallen in love
With each and every one

I saw them,
Inside the constellations of your eyes
I felt them,
On the taste of your lips
It was like waging war on heaven

I swear the back of a car
Had never felt so poetic
You made it feel
As if sunlight were kissing my neck
While the night grabbed my waist

*And the moonlight sang to us

My brother and sister
We were there,
childhood
it all comes and goes
Could you please
give us
a little more time?

Hitting home runs
Peaking way to soon
How dare you?
Could you please
give me a little
more time?

Strung out on
Chemistry and hormones
Rock and roll
never sounded so
good

One more level
One more time
Could you please?
if I ask you nicely
I'll be your best friend
Just give us a little
more time

Dragging a mattress
out into the pine forest
We were so perfect
Bliss and oblivion
At least until
the campers came along
Could you please?
I guess
I'm begging you
if you could
give us a little
more time

While my baby is an infant,
a woman now
I'm asking you
to
give us a little more time

There is magic
in the music
in the air,
You're something
We're dancing
Never coming this way again
That's why I'm asking
could you please
give us a little more time?

The work is good
The days are long
Summer
No pain anywhere
Keep it coming
I'm always begging
Could you please give me a little more time?

I know we'll be repeating
when sleeping in the linens,
Every one is there
Love everywhere,
I'll be pleading
Can you give us
please?
a little more time
and maybe
one more rhyme.

Love can be like
trapped light
existing like dusk
the likes of which we can't see
physical but not optical
gravesites for stars
a waystation for dreamers
a delta to cruise through
paradise on Sunday
cold as ice on Monday
a hundred pound block on tongs
with a butterfly at its center
your temple of madness
or the Egypt of your ***
lands of mystery
an island of death
proven theories of sorrow
your lineage, children, tomorrows.

Tell me that your love for me was a lie

Tell me that you see Her
every time you look into my eyes,
and you wish you could just turn away
'cause you loathe the sight of me

Tell me that your skin burns
each time I hold your hands,
or run my fingers across your face,
and you wish I would just stop touching you
'cause you despise these palms,
that go sweaty around you

Tell me that you had to picture Her in your vision
every time I pull you into an embrace,
and you wish that my waist was smaller,
just like Her perfect figure;
'cause these baby fats that I have,
disgust you even more
than my sweaty palms

Tell me that you suffocate
each time I kiss you,
and you wish you could just push me away,
or pull yourself away from me,
'cause you hate the aftertaste of me
lingering on your lips

Tell me that you have always been putting up an act
all these times while you're with me,
and you wish you could quit
and that I would finally come to realize
that you have never loved me once before,
that whatever you have been doing
was only out of pity,
'cause you couldn't bear to break my heart.

But honey, you did.
