I don't want to be
the person you miss
at 3AM
I want to be the person
you miss
at 3PM
when you're busy and
you just want an
escape.
I want to be what
you think of
when you need room to
breathe.

Capricorn:**
Maybe those ghosts
that you’ve been trying so desperately
to keep locked inside your closet
and gagged with old t-shirts,
are truly trying to help you
instead of hurt you once more,
and it’s finally time to sit up and listen,
because they know you
and they know how to help.

WHEN YOU SEE THE GOOD IN SOMEONE
YOU DON'T GIVE UP ON THEM,
AND MAYBE
THATS WHY I NEVER
GAVE UP ON YOU
EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE
THE BEAST THAT BROKE ME.

I like the smell of stale cigarettes
on my hands
it reminds me of you.

Reminds me of the time you ashed your smoke
just to hold my hand.

I guess we never realized
that the nicotine wasn't toxic
but the two of us really were.

Is it too crazy that every time you say my name
these cracks in my heart suddenly heal...
Is it too crazy that every time you touch me
I seem to forget, yet feel so real...
Is it too crazy that I love you every day
But you're someone who will never love me the same..

Your lips taste like nicotine
And I know smoke has filled your lungs
But that’s okay
Because I can still find galaxies in your eyes
And I feel content
At the sight of those stars
And when your hand reaches mine
I feel flowers grow in my ribcage
And I feel butterflies flutter and bump against my stomach
And that’s okay
Because I’m okay
And we’re okay.

You ripped my heart out of my chest
and breathed oceans into my veins,
creating a storm only you could control.
Tears turn into rivers
and this isn't love anymore.
