your lips
are the softest
of cotton
I couldn't
wear a sweater
stitched with
anything else

If this is so unbiblical,
why do you make me
shout Jesus louder than
a Southern Baptist?

if i could eat the sun
i'd imagine it'd taste
like your skin.

I'll never miss the sunset as long as you're around
I swear it's engraved in your lips
And it's impossible for my heart not to hit the ground
When I'm clothed in your fingertips

I see Heaven every time you're in
But there's Hell in the back of your eyes
Even though most of our time spent is sin
You make it worth the demise

Maybe one day you'll hold me
And it will mean much more than this
So I can stop thinking I'm crazy
When I'm bathing in your kiss

I'll tell you I love you without making any sound 
 Because I'll never miss the sunset as long as you're around.

it seems I've lost my body
in the Red Sea of your bed sheets
i guess it's my fault
for relying on Sailor Jerry

& you love to speak with things that burn
my throat was no exception
your hands knew every language
but were not fluent in rejection

this winter
happens to be
warm enough
for me
not to have you
to use anymore.

i don't get why we choose to fall in love
over and over
when the same hand that pushes us
helps us back up to kick us
& **** us

all the "**** yous"
and screaming
the punching & dreaming
of never falling in love again

but laying in it
without ending up on the ground

because when we scream
only our bodies make a sound
and I know love hurts
but why did it start hitting?
