frost-bitten, crisp winter air
that springs up the hairs on
your soft arms
and nips at you in harsh,
yet comforting, kisses

this is the cold season,
the frost season,
the one that blankets life with
a thin sheet of ice
or a thick layer of snow,
the kind of coldness
that sits in the air until the sun melts it

it is my favorite season, though
and despite its harshness
i find it comforting

i longed
for a connection.
one that connected in
every way
possible,
and that meant with
our voices
and our expressions
and our touches

but all i get from
you
are words
an artist Sep 2013
people say that they cut to feel in control
to feel in control of their ******-up lives
but when i held that blade and let
it slip across my skin,
i felt no control.
i felt no comfort.
the blade controlled me,
twisting who i was
into someone that i was not;
ripping my thoughts apart

don't pick up that blade.
don't ever pick up that blade.

I MISS YOU LIKE COLD WINTER MORNINGS.
THE KIND THAT WOULD
QUICKLY SLIDE
ITS FROST-NIPPING AIR AGAINST MY SKIN, RAISING THE BLONDE HAIRS ON MY ARMS AND MAKING MY SKIN DANCE WITH CHILLS.
I MISS YOU LIKE WARM SUMMER NIGHTS.
THE SOFT NIGHTTIME HEAT THAT
HUGGED MY SKIN AND MADE IT SWEAT WITH A TIRED NERVOUSNESS AS IT KISSED ME TO SLEEP.
I MISS YOU LIKE SPRING AFTERNOONS.
THE CRISP DAY-FADING ATMOSPHERE THAT WOULD
WHISPER ALL THE SECRETS OF THE DAY, ALL THE SECRETS THAT NONE OF US BOTHERED TO BECOME AWARE OF.
I MISS YOU LIKE FALL EVENINGS.
THE DAYS WHEN TREES WOULD CHANGE THEIR COLORS TO SOFT ORANGES, YELLOWS, BROWNS AND REDS,
TURNING THE COLORS OF DEEP FEELINGS, THE KIND I ALWAYS FELT ABOUT YOU.

when a boy touches your skin
and helps you to sin,
remember that i love you.
when you feel your lowest
and you start to
not notice
how perfectly imperfect you are,
remember that i love you.
i'll always be there
i'll always
be there

i am pretty sure
your name is being softly engraved in the
dark circles
that are trying to form under my eyes

i think,
i think i know this from these
nights
i've been spending up,
awake, waiting and hoping you'll come in the morning.

i think maybe even one night you slipped
in through my pores
and drifted along my blood stream,
right into my brain
because most of my thoughts seem to be about you

i think you write along the walls of my skull
and i think you write in pen,
writing words and phrases and secrets
over and over and
over until they seep into my bones and
become part of my skin

and i think you took a record or two
of your voice with you,
because i am always hearing it just as i'm getting ready for bed

don't you know that all this keeps me up?
yes,
yes i think
yes i think you do
written while being distracted

MAYBE I WAS
THINKING
ABOUT
YOU
TOO MUCH
LATELY, MAYBE
I WAS HOPING AND
WANTING AND WISHING
FOR YOU TOO HARD LATELY
AND YOU FELT THAT FROM
2,800 MILES AWAY AND
YOU GOT SCARED,
I SCARED YOU
AWAY
