you blur my vision like rain running down a window sill.
you're stuck in my head all day like a song from the top 40.
you sow up my holes with patches and seal them with a kiss.
you are the chills i felt on our first date.
you make me feel, in more ways than one.
you will always have a piece of my heart to call your own.
you hold my head to kiss me and hold my heart along with it.
you breathe sweetness into my lungs.
you fill my heart with joy.
you fill my dreams with hope.
you fill my mind with love songs and plans for the future.
you're soothingly familiar and i bask in that comfort.
you complete me, and i think you know it.

Now, before I met you

                   I was content with

                      twenty-four hours

                     in a day, but

               now I wish

       I could live

 a thousand

lifetimes

in just

  one

            kiss

I'm a puzzle
But half of my pieces
were thrown away
So I keep adding pieces
From different puzzles
I guess I'd rather be whole
Than be right

Sometimes I love this broken world
Sometimes I just love that it's broken too

Before you came 'round, i was headed for a small disaster.
I thought i could make myself better.

Before i came 'round, you thought you could tame the ocean.
You took it for a ride and then it did the same to you.

You tried.
It swallowed you whole, leaving nothing but a small disaster in its wake.
I guess we were both wrong...

don't get too close…

it's dark inside.

it's getting dark, too dark to see.
fading in and out with each hesitant step
If i let you in, what's next then?
i can feel the pain in your eyes;
wanting to get close but falling back at the
last second.
creeping deeper and deeper inside
until there is nothing left but the sadness i started with
it is time.

cut out all the ropes

and let me fall.
