blood that has washed away so
promptly in the past is
now circling the sink drain.
leaving everything in shades of red,
this red is all i see.

and i'm in love with
distant memories;
i'm in love with
last night's dream—
always right here with me,
just simply out of reach.

-k.p//out of reach

(I) can't forget how
you made my heart leap
While remaining (still),
Or made me (miss) the voicemail
My phone recently erased.
You were the life in me, and now (you) are the death.

(sometimes), we have to lose to appreciate love, and have to feel to appreciate being numb.

She wears streaks of colors
In her hair,
So even strangers know
how vibrant she really is.

She sets with the sun,
Then rises again with the moon.

She warms your heart
Like the coffee she always sips, and writes colors in black ink.

She sways my heart and kindles my soul.

(And someone anyone would be lucky to hold)

All my friends
Are my friends
Cause I hate to be alone,

So many people that
I foster as I
Try to make a home.

It's the feeling
That hollows out your bones
And makes you feel,
Like the slightest tap tap against your limbs
Will make you shatter.

Your name still lingers at my lips.
Your skin still lingers at my fingers.
You're still present in me.

It's the heaviness in your soul
That makes your heart feel
Like the slightest mishap
Will break you completely.

Your words still linger in my ears.
Your promises still linger in my heart.
You're still present
In me.

When I wanted something,
I always got it.
And then I wanted you.

Too bad change is inevitable,
And now I never get what I want,
Or else my world would be
For two.

I keep my expectations too high
But my exceptions too low,
I need a symmetrical place,
But there's nowhere to go.
