him
him.
his lips were always chapped
and his hands were ice hold like his heart
he dug his way into your heart and buried
himself into your bones.
you would taste him in your morning breath
and smell him on your sheets..
at 3a.m when you've had a bit too much to drink
you could here his raspy voice whispering
in your ear "don't worry baby girl, you are mine" like a lullaby.
when he kissed you your lips would start to burn like
how your lungs burned when you breathed in his
second hand cigarette smoke.
your hair smelt like his cologne and the washing detergent
his mom would use to wash his stained ripped up clothes.
don't tell me that i will get over him
when he has become a part of me.
i feel him when i breathe
i see him in my sleep
i hear him in my dreams
hes a part of me.
Him
Just close your eyes
and feel it,
feel the warmth of his skin.
The mundane activities of life
pass you by unnoticed
because in this moment
there is nothing you want more,
nothing you’d rather be doing.
If only this moment would last.
Careless, only noticing your breathing
and the feel of the grass
as you trail your finger though it
And you know its yours.
Beauty beyond what you could imagine,
seeing it in everything, the light,
leaves, trees, him. Its all there
waiting for you.
Him
I could make a home in the warmth of his arms,
my cheek pressed to his chest,
his pulse puncturing my ear,
breathing echoing in the small space.
The blue pools of his eyes could redefine the sky.
My ribcage could be occupied by his fingers
and we could be happy.

Sometimes I wonder if he was born
with those thin black fibers perfectly spread across his jaw
and that tired, intelligent shadow
beneath his eyelashes.
It was the swift eyebrow raises that got me.
It was the tiny smirks from across the room,
the glances,
the suggestion.
We were shoulders brushing,
eyes nestled on one another,
lowered voices,
pauses.

We were dangerous.
Him
"Can I see them?" he peered
I tugged my arm away as my hair covered half of my face
I didn't want to see how vulnerable I was
I'm nothing more than a selfish beast
He was bewildered
I looked at him and his eyes were full of sorrow
He cared so much for me
He needed me
I knew I couldn't endure my whole life without him as well
So I let him
He carefully rolled up my right sleeve,
Revealing my pale, lifeless skin full of scars and unwanted memories
I felt tears in my eyes. I am shattered.
I couldn't look at him
And the next thing I knew, he pulled me into a soft,warm embrace
I could feel his breath tickle my neck
His velvety pink lips nibbling on the pale flesh
"Hush, love." he whispered and wiped the tears from my eyes
"Don't leave me, okay?" I begged
"Never in a million years."he said looking into my eyes once more
His beautiful orbs mesmerizing me
He lifted my chin up and kissed my parched lips
Wanting him and only *him
him
He is so very smart for such a young man.....
Always saying a kind word to me whenever he can..
Always a sweet text almost each day when I awake....
Reminds me of the things you did for me.....I wonder if it was real or just REAL FAKE!!!
I enjoy talking to him cuz I am always alone.....
Wanting you back but you you erased my number from your phone.
He can't replace you not that he tries.......
He just enjoys talking to me and in silence my heart silently cries.
I want you but you won't let me love you even though it's not fair the way it went out all went down and ended.
Him
he had given me a brand new world
where i can get so lost and still be found
he had given me so much
that i just can't take the time to look around
Him
He starts a fire in me
And watches me burst into flames
Kisses me with passion
And shows me love does not have to be a game
He plants flowers in me
And watches as I bloom
Holds me in his arms
And promises me our love is not doomed
He undresses me with words
And makes me want to write
Treats me like I am worth loving
And makes me want to be alive
He is the rising sun
He is the starlit sky
He is a better person than I can ever be
He is the reason I still try

-Succesfully Broken
For Garrett Hedley
Him
I had trouble understanding who you were.
I've been distracted by the way you smile every time you look at me
and the way your hands would slide up and down my body whenever our kisses got intense.
I wanted to crawl into your skin to feel the brokenness that lied within or rip my way into your mind to see all the things you've kept inside,
but every time I tried,
the thorns guarding your heart wouldn't let me enter.
I started to bang on the door, screaming "Let me in!" "Let me in!" But there was nothing but an echo.
I looked down at my hands and saw the marks and bruises from my failed attempt.
You told me that you wanted me long before, so here I am.
I'm standing alone under the stars where you told me to meet you.
So tell me your highness,
where are you?
