I'm not really a rude person,
I'm just being like this
in order for you not to notice
that I'm starting to like you.

The cliches are all too familiar,
With their sappy glow and clean cut truth

I still live with her smile
But I roll my eyes at sappy rom coms
And change the channel at the kiss

I live for the moment
When I see you
Eyes drifting
When we have strawberry lemonades that are half frozen and turn our lips pink
And we can't breathe because we're laughing too much

I'm irony wrapped up
And tied with a silver ribbon
You can't fight biology
But you sure as hell can try


n.v.

The ones who were never hurt before,
Always try harder
To protect themselves.

**** they say
comes naturally
a movement of the hips
a movement of the lips
the timbre of the voice
you can’t just train that
**** they say
is no talent
is a breathtaking gasp
the heart double-dutching
bounce, bounce
**** they say
is a gift

Let me sink into the ground with you
I wanna feel your bones on mine.
Let me keep you here until nightfall.

And confess you’re all I ever wanted.

Yet I’m sinking into the ground without you
because you’re all I can’t have.
