Set yourself free.
Let yourself go.
Let the lights shine bright.
It's hard to be dull in the darkest of the night.
My heart is broken, with words unspoken.
What's broken cannot be unbroken.
What's joy without pain?
They say that the best kind of love is insane.
Instead, we hurt each other over and over again.
We could pretend that everything's going to be okay.
Deep down in our hearts, we know the pain's going to stay.
Let's keep our heads up and laugh in each other's embrace.
So we can walk away with grace.

Sit and wait for me
So that this time
You will  know
How long forever feels.

-

If I bleed alone,
is it really blood
or is it just words,
droplets of phrases,
splattered feelings
of this love coursing
through my veins for you,
coagulating into meanings
on pale parchment skin
leaving behind
heart shaped scars
that no one
will ever see?

I'm starting
to notice
the
nicotine's
burn

I'm starting
to notice
that
it's the
only
warmth
I feel

Sometimes
I miss
you
and the
warmth
you brought then
and

Sometimes
I miss
summer
and the
endless
blissful nights

But
I'm starting
to notice
the
nicotine's
burn

and honestly
it's more
inviting
than I thought
and
I think
I'll let it
stay
