A threat as thin as the love between us
As thin as the promises you gave
A threat as thin as the coffee you made me that morning
As thin as the cup that broke when it hit the floor
That morning
A threat as thin as that other girl you were seeing
As thin as my own confidence
A threat so thin that you can’t even call it a string
So thin that you can barely see it
So thin that it barely exists
So thin I’m not even sure it’s there any longer
So real that it keeps us apart

A number cannot describe
what it felt
to die

A portion was taken
and you
weren't even shaken

My body is but a number to you
but I
refuse

You now hold a piece of my heart
all because
I wasn't smart

A fraction is all I have to hold,
and honestly?

it's getting quite old

I want to give you my heart
So you will know my passion

I want to give you my love
So you will never doubt my loyalty

I want to give you my hands
So you may hold them in your own

I want to give you my eyes
So you will see they are only for you

I want to give you my smile
So you may share in my happiness

I want to give you my secrets
So you will know that I trust you

I want to give you my soul
So you will know I have held nothing back

I started the process of memorizing you today

35 freckles on your right shoulder and a break in the cartilage on your right ear near the top was as far as I got

I think even if I have 100 more years in your arms, I'll never know how many individual hairs you have on your chin or why you sound like you're dying when you sleep

What an exciting thought
To never know all of you

I don't know if your I love you means what it means for me
Someday maybe I will

Or maybe I'll spend my whole life trying
To hear all your thoughts behind
the words
I love you

For you I've got no more worries
For you I've got no tears
For you I've got no respect
For you I've got no gifts
For you I've got no heart
For you I've got no soul,
partly because I'm a ginger
For you I've got no letters
For you I've got no words
For you Iv'e got no sign
For you I've got no objects
For you I've got no sheets
For you I've got no eyes
For you I've got no time
For you I've got no recognition
For you I've got everything.

sometimes
i apologize so much
i feel like i'm saying sorry for my existence
