hills of silent nodding flowers
stealing turpentine kisses under peach trees
pointed lips like butterfly wings
her quiet smile fluttered my heart
rippling rose petals upon clear wax waters
gently tangled together like knotted yellow string
ruffled clothing, hair, flora everywhere
her knowing eyes spoke poetry in my skin
it was then that i decided to live

cotton blue skies
cigarette smoke clouds
parted lips;
but they spill blood
severed fingers that i'll swallow
indirectly
nervous eye contact
because my brain is a little skewed
you say you don't mind
but i know you do
bathroom tiles are my best friends
real friends hurt like [that]
i want to dissolve like pills in water
to dive into ice blue oceans
and sink down to you
chain me to the bottom
of your ribs

twinkling lights
fall playfully onto snow
pink noses and angel breath
clouds i can swallow
frozen toes
and lips so close
we might as well be sharing my scarf
same coat
i wouldn't mind
but you already knew that
our hands in your pockets
fingers interlocked perfectly
this is what they were made for
i can't help but think
what would it be like for two hearts
to beat as one
if i could swallow you like a pill...
...just ask me and i will.
maybe i'd like to die here
as frozen angels in solemn prayer
we speak only
in the air we share

silence.
sitting painfully together
i try to lean against her
but she's too small
i'd crush her i think
like a flower
had a breakdown right there
laying my head on the table
i was so scared
we had to go
so i wiped my eyes
stood up
"u ok?"
i nodded the best i could
walked her to class
and on the way
she grabbed my hand
and held it

c chord hands
cold drinks and warm clean sheets
flower chains, sweet dreams
breathe out and i'll breathe you in
let's be a cycle of endless CO2
poisoned with green apple highs and
lowest lows where my wrists grow roses
lone plum tree, a light breeze
wish some birds would land on me
i've learned light eyes are deceiving
colored yarn weaving through my bones
tighten it and see my lungs burst
like that night. separated like twins at birth
blue violet eyes and vines cover pink skin
she's dripping from a spoon
like sweet honey
