we only lie because the truth is harder to understand

I fear
when you lay
with your head
to my pounding flesh
that my heart is
too overbearing
for you to listen
to my words.

you havent been
yourself lately.
and I fear
my heart
is telling you
more than I

Stained teeth
Bring out the white skin
Of the daunting drapes
Covering the faintest of all hopes.
With eyes as pale
As the clouds,
Covering the day,
Your body is cold,
Like the ice you kept
Among us,
Preserving
What you wanted to be.
I found this in my documents and thought it was decent

Bodies aching in the night
Searching for some heat
Closer and closer we got,
Getting a taste for something sweet.

A fire started to burn,
You got the extinguisher you stole
But it was too big to put out
So you just let it swallow us whole.

You're the menthol in my newport:
Refreshing, deadly, and smooth.

The silhouette of your body
Is noticable from across the world.
Your eyes -candy.
Lips -taste of sugar.
The rugged scruff scratching my face
Only burns after the fact.
After.

Chests beating
A thousands times per minute.
Huming birds
Fetching nectar to keep the world alive.

Look at me though.
I want to get lost,
And only with you.
I want to get lost with you
To find you.
To find us.

Put a bag over my head
And call me beautiful
