Lunar
in math class
and all we talk about is algebra
adding and subtracting
absolute values and square roots

when all on my mind is you
and as long as i add you to my day
it already sums up my week

but if you subtract yourself from my life
i'd fail even before the day ends
and i'd crumble faster than a
simple division equation

LET
I'm writing about you
Have you ever written about
someone?
I'm writing about you

You're like my design homework
complicated
and challenging
but I want to figure you out
and I want to take that challenge
and I want to exert myself to find you
out
because you're worth more than I
can say right now
and I want to make you a pancake
and write your name on top
in chocolate chips
I'll give you my syrup
and my thoughts
We can drink Tropicana and discuss
how sad we've been

I like you and you're great

You sat by me and I'll never forget
what you said to me
"I can't see ****"
and I noticed you for a second time
and it's never felt weirder with you
but weird is my favorite
I want to be your favorite
Speak, you say
as you peel away
the cage I made
from frozen limbs.

Speak,
and tell me what you hide.
Show me the words curled deep
under your ribs,
tell me what your silence means.

Under the silence,
in between the bones and muscles,
I confess,
I hold an ocean.
Where the words are lost amongst the flotsam
and the surging
and I find the noise is deafening,
and I find I am afraid.

I am too tired
to fish for the right words.
This ocean is vast
and I am small
and the sentences you ask for,
hide deeper than my line could reach.

I am not silent,
I am listening to the waves
and deciding how best
to stay afloat.
How can a face
So wickedly beautiful
And a heart so kind
All be portrayed as
Something so evil
Yet so delicious inside.
Something you know to steer clear of,
But find yourself pulled closer,
Every time..
A beautiful face that
Consumes me completely
And a soul drawing
Me deeper into this,
Beautiful chaos with his
Devilish smile.
And oh that charm!
It can almost make me forget
What a monster you are...
When I see you
I can't help but smile

When I see you
I can't help but blush

When I see you
I can't help but to hold you

When I see you
I can't help but to believe in love
I don't know you well but you have me feeling like the real me again
i miss the "talking stage"
i miss having butterflies from seeing you across the room
i miss the sideward glances
i miss blushing from feeling your eyes on me
i miss the flirting
i miss trying to get you to like me
i miss losing sleep just so i could talk to you
i miss being able to say goodnight
i miss falling in love
but the talking stage turned into dating and i finally had all that i never knew i would
but for you the butterflies began to die, you wouldn't glance at me anymore, you stopped flirting, you went to bed without sayin goodnight, you stopped falling in love
and now my butterflies have turned into snakes that eat me from the inside out
you don't look at me at all any more
you stopped smiling at me altogether
i don't blush
im still losing sleep but not so i can talk to you but because you haven't said goodnight
no, you said goodbye, you said goodbye a long time ago and you haven't said hello since.
goodnight, sleep tight, dont let the bed bugs bite, i love you.

Ann
I feel like I've started a new addiction
Weaker than herion
Stronger than *******
you
This **** should be illegal
But I'd still go for it
Why?
Because there is no better
Feeling
Then what you can provide.
******* emotions man

Tea
you looked me in the eye and it was clear -
as my fingertips traced the outlines of your veins
(i can feel the blood flow)
i realized that you were already flowing through my own
(it makes me feel alive)
you were my heartbeat, dancing slowly inside my rib cage
(it felt like our favorite song)
standing firmly on my mind, calming my soul
as you slept underneath my skin

so if you are my peace, my tranquility -
then why are there moments of dreadful silence
(the calm before the storm)
when i can feel the fear rattling deep inside my bones
(it whispers run, run, run)
if we are supposed to be one and the same
(don't you dare look back)
then why do I feel like you are my Vesuvius
(he will bury you alive)
*and I am your Pompeii?
toxic loves were always the most enticing ones
