If war is the answer,
quit asking the **** question!

1:35 am
in the indigo infinity of the night,
i could've loved you better.

2:18 am
between the folds of the sheets
and the ache in my bones,
i warmed you from the inside out.

3:46 am
we are two stars,
unable to put our words into
constellations.
we will be our own downfalls.

4:28 am
you pull my hair and tell me
you love me in-between the groaned pants
and one day, underneath the cracked lips
and trembling hands
i'll find the courage to say it back.

5:19 am
i am the inferno that'll burn
your paper heart down
and when you're left with the ashes,
you'll see just how much of yourself
you gave to the girl with the sleepy eyes
and bruised knuckles.
i am sorry.

6:21 am
like the morning sun,
i'll rise to fill you with warmth
but i will have to set again.

7:34 am
"i can't hold your universe together."
*-H.K

I'm not just lesbian,
I'm human.
They're not just gay,
they're human.
& you're not just straight,
you're human.
Gay marriage
is just marriage.
We don't have gay or lesbian
feelings.
We have feelings.
We hurt, cry, smile &
are happy, too.
We're no different
than the rest.

for three days my body wouldn't let me wake this early.
(even i wouldn't let myself
wake this early)
i couldn't face another day
without knowing where,
how, you were.
now, i suppose i can thank the knowledge of knowing you are safe, and doing decent, for allowing me to want to stand up to reality.
that the day my mother ****** us didn't make you do anything irrational.
and every dandelion and 11:11 i will continue to wish the sun watch over you, and moon protect you, for me.
my dear, the war inside myself is finally at peace.
