and it was not
love at first
sight, but
it was love
at first chin stroked
by your thumb,
at first soft
kiss
in the middle
of your living
room, at first
morning waking
up with your face
buried in my neck

its been a month
since a blade has touched my skin,
and as i was taking a shower,
i shaved my legs and
i accidentally nicked myself.
i watched as blood
dripped down my leg.
i looked at in awe,
i know i miss the feeling,
maybe one more scratch wouldnt hurt?
but, thats where i stopped,
i didnt try to nick my leg again,
i didnt let the thoughts get to me,
i won.

another day down,
a whole life to go.
{dear god that sounds awful, huh?}

Oh no, this is not some silly love letter.
This is not a letter about proclaiming my
school girl feelings and fantasies.
Oh no, this is so much more than that, my dear.
You are one of the things that dare to make me happy.
But, not the kind of happy that you would think of.
When I think of you, the happiness you bring to me is a
kind of comfort. I feel so laid back, yet excited, yet really,
really in love.

I mean, you also bring me sadness.
When I'm around you I feel at home.
When I am not around you,
I know I'll see you soon.
The sadness you bring me is fleeting.
But, it is only because I know you will
never love me back.

Like I said, you are my Christmas morning.
But, you are also my New Year's Eve.
The fleeting moment, the fireworks, and good laughs.
I could keep going, but why should I?

You will never see these poems anyways.
I have written hundreds of poems about you,
and you will never know how I truly feel.

And if you do know, then I am so, so sorry.
It is not fair to you, nor me.

But I simply cannot help myself.
You are my everything.

           k in
           that you really said
                                              i love you
                                               and that you really expected me to
                                               say it back.

                                               lapse in judgement
                                                                                    and lack of punctuality

                                                                                    please don't wreck me

i want to be like the bee
and sting you everytime you say
i feel nothing
i'll only get to sting you once, really
i'd die for you and it scares me
but what's more terrifying than living for nothing
and if i do -- die for you -- i'll know:
a little stinger
the remains of myself
will always be part of me,
will always be part of
you.
extreme love is terrifyingly beautiful
I would give you a thousand
chances to swallow my heart if it means
I get to hear those little stories
again and wake up with your mouth
on my shoulder.
Today I told you I've been
having trouble sleeping
without you
and you said, "We're going
to get married someday, though, so
don't even worry."
My lungs feel so full tonight.
carefully

                     carefully
  
                                             carefully


you slipped yourself into my veins
