When he leaves
let him

and when he's gone
don't let your love dwindle

for no one can take away love

for all creeks empty into the ocean

When he tells you love isn't real

leave
run and don't look back

I miss seeing you
between coffee stains

I miss hearing your
voice through silent films

I miss feeling your heart
through my chest


I hope she see's you through coffee stains
and listens for your voice during silent films

but most of all
I hope she feels your heart
in ways I never did

I selfishly professed to you
that my teenage mind
can not process the idea of Love

Yet at 4 am
laying on your chest watching it rise

I understood

Love is wanting to be apart of something bigger than yourself

that night at 5 am as the sun began to rise
I want to intertwine my hands with yours
and become one

that morning at 6 am I fell in love

I want to give you every single broken part of me
not so you could place my broken pieces into place
but so you can see the scars on my rib cage and the ruins in my heart

I want to be intertwined, you within me
not to feel the momentary glimpse of heaven
but for us to envelope each others bodies
filling empty creases

I want to dissolve into your chest
not to rest my mind and forget the days strife
but to feel your heart beating on my mind
creating our own rhythm

I want to live under your bed sheets
not to hide from the world encompassing us
but to create our own kingdom
where our memories will live

I don't believe in God
and I don't believe in fate

But there was something special about the first time I saw you
Something that I couldn't and will never be able to explain

I feel you with every fiber of my being
I feel you in my hallowed bones

I had not known true warmth until I heard your voice

E.R.

Fall to deeply

Fly to high

Search for answers in the wrong people

But there is something poetic in our strife
there is something so pure in feeling so deeply
that our love consumes our very being

E.R.
