love is
it is;
it's
to wish you
well-off
not to dissolve

while melting
and honey,
I'm melting

why can't I
can't I
can't
I can't
catch this
catch my
gasp, ******
this breath

why can't I have it ?
I've had it
with
astronaut emotion
head in outer space
what goes up
must come down

but I've been

d
o
w
n

drowned & coming up for air
at the last second to explode
the need to inhale
something
you or air

I c a n n o t decide which feels better

my dreams are nothing more than mere parasites
as they leave me dismembered

your words work well as a pesticide
saying things i don't want to remember

as you capture me, and fracture me
i can see the stars
long ago they once were ours

those visions were more than just paradise
back in that dismal November
i should have taken their advice
before my heart burst into embers

as i agree, you decree
that this will end in scars
now wasn't that bizarre...

my mind now burns
i can no longer return
what did i earn?

i inhale this fractured lullaby
you have no alibi
just like the summertime
i should have said goodbye

and you now turn
you'll never return

i should have said goodbye

i couldn't say goodbye

Truth or dare?
You said you didn’t care.
My eyes met yours,
and I witnessed firsthand, those dimples I adore.
Nobody’s perfect,
but I found no obvious defect.
There was something about you,
overwhelming, passionate, and all-consuming too.
I lost myself in that first glance,
my heart never stood a chance.
I was in love with this feeling you gave me,
begging everyone to not save me.
This tickling in my tummy,
that kick in my chest when you said my name felt funny.
There’s this childhood type bliss,
I feel to my toes, every time we kiss.
Truth or dare?
I said I didn’t care.
And that’s when you picked dare,
in your eyes I saw a newly sparked flare.
“I dare you to fall in love with me”
it was with my next breath I agreed to your heart stopping decree.
And would you look at that,
after our little chat,
I knew there was no turning back.
There was no running from this attack.
It was then I was able to clearly see,
this beautiful future between you and me.
