I'm going to have to leave my house soon,
I want 'soon' to last forever, but forever wouldn't be enough,
The 'soon' keeps getting closer and I can feel my house slipping from my fingers,
I can feel it slipping into my memory.
tap dancing over each vertebrae,
connecting me to you.
spine of stone
one single kiss;

Rays of sun
envied
the
illumination of your
heartstrings.

eyes,
fogged with smoke still burning from fire
left smoldering.

No warning.

Water washed me,
cleansing impurities:
marks from scratching skin
over you.

turned upside down
the blood rushed to our heads.

external force,
//****//

I don’t know how to
helplessly
get over you
hopelessly
Energy leaving skin,
isolation
bound to yours by nothing
freedom
anymore.

The trees outside are begging me:
climb,
I can’t move my legs,
they’re glued to the floor.

I’m sensitive,
and I squirm a lot.

focusing hard
not
to
fa-
ll.

comforting
like my mother
reminding me I have sensitive skin.

Grounded by a force in my feet
pulling me closer to your hip bones.

You ran out of patience
and into someone else.

The flowers are drowning,
maybe I can pick them all
before the TV gets too loud for my ears;
you should know where I keep the shovel.

Softly for you,
all of it.

Everything,
I’d give

more.

Rebuild, retract
reboot.

love,
lit by someone else's sun.

palm of my hand,
lines led straight to you.


Can I stay the night?
Inside of your rib cage.
I want to touch you
with my whole hands
eyes
palms.
What’s wrong?

What am I supposed to say?

I’ll always think of you.

damaged
replaced
rebuilt.

Thorn torn hand
left for giving.

My hands are freezing
without
the heat in your wrists

the petals would be so soft;
I promise.

escape

Ice isn't solid forever

I am waiting for you,
To melt

Scared of heights?

Maybe it's broken glass
In your eyes.

I still feel
Feel
Feel you
In my head
Like a pounding that won't quit
I want you more than time

and there is no shortness

of that.

still...

drink, drank, drunk
hello there
what? you like Mumford and Sons
let's get out of here
wow, this is a comfy bed
wow, you're attractive
wow, that's a lot of Jack to finish up

kiss, kiss, kiss
truth is erased when mixed with alcohol
funny, isn't it

wow, let's do this!
your hands are so soft as they brush my face
and you sweep the hair behind my ears
kiss, kiss, kiss
wow, this is fantastic

Facebook Status; Relationship: .....
that's not my name
who is this girl
what
what
what

ugh.
not again.
used.
really.
****.


Good Morning :)  
what?
alright... Hey, there!

confusion
why am I always #2
side chick
really
ugh
this *****

his eyes show me that everything is alright
he wraps me up and I know in that moment
he speaks the truth
finally.

then the stories come out,
low self esteem and complicated life issues that still
are left as a mystery to me

he drinks to cure the numbness
but it only leads to more
I want to help
but can't find the words
****

new day.
he smiles and once again reminds me
everything is going to be okay
I believe him


drink, drank, drunk
wow, I am used
I am number 2
he only wants me for one thing
how could I do this to myself again
I let myself slip up again
that poor girl
the girlfriend
the girlfriend that isn't me
all these voices flood my head and repeat the obvious

no one will ever love you.
ouch.

all my self respect dissolves into my tears
I am alone.
I could make him choose?
what do I even say?
when I am with him all my problems seem minimal...
why would I leave that feeling to go to waste....
oh right, because being number two is disrespectful to myself.


decisions
decisions

Then I see his smile and I am conflicted
why me?

why me?

self respect or a cheater...
"if he cheats with you, he will cheat on you..."
my friends make this clear
the answer seems obvious
it should be easy to choose...
yet why am I having such a hard time
letting go.
