you are in love with a girl
and you think she is beautiful
you remind her everyday

you want her for yourself
but she has shadows
and they chase

her smile is empty
though you think
it's her prettiest curve

And her veins
they run with blood
she hates it -you've observed

you are in love with a girl
but she has nothing to offer
she despises herself, there is no heart to rob her

Your laughter is pinned up,
but I don't know its sound.
Your smile is three walls,
but I'm the fourth.

She peeks  out
from under her curtain of hair,
watching the world,
unaware.

Black hoodie,
black dress,
we are,
hopeless.

They were tangled in my rib cage,
the butterflies I mean.

I had to let them go,
they had begun to hurt me,
you see,
razor blades in a tissue paper disguise.

I can't blame them,
they were trying to get free.

It's my fault,
for swallowing them whole.
2am
i cried so much
that the cries turned into screams
and i drowned in my own salt water

Bare feet,
Naked legs;
You have had me whole.

Back scraping,
Lip biting.
That tiniest drop of blood.

And that moment
Where your eyes meet mine,
And you collapse,
Breathless,
Still,
Calm.

And for the briefest moment,
I can pretend that I am all you want,
Just as you said.

But you want those bare feet,
Those naked legs,
Those pale *******.
And my blissfully open mouth
From which no words
       dare to pass.
skin stretches into mountain ridges
i am a fetus
wanting to bloom inside of you
to meet your heart
and cup it within my soul
to see your beauty from deep within
and stoke the fire that warms your veins;
with me you'll never
be cold again.
