Your handshake
is about as firm as a thousand year old bridge
and thats when I realized
you were crumbling
His mother always told him to throw away broken toys
to make room for new ones
and maybe thats why they never keep me around
I've become an acrobat
balancing my self confidence on the tight rope of his words
It’s hard to walk when your legs are killing you.
My knees didn't always creek like this, I promise.
My smile didn't always come with a disclaimer

We're alone in our own minds
And that terrifies me
We don't share the same thoughts
Nor the same explanations
Our interpretation of things
Are all different
We create these ideas in our head
And so do others
And these ideas may be similar
Or not at all
So when I tell you
"That flower is beautiful"
You may have a different idea
Of beautiful
We're communicating with words
Not thoughts
And when you say
You love me
We may not have the same meaning
Nor reciprocate the same message
And that terrifies me

it's during times like this
i crave to be with you
within a sluggish weather
melodic raindrops
smashing into the window
dancing on the rooftop
smell of the petrichor
under dark gloomy clouds
chilly atmosphere
windy drowsiness
sudden rush of sleepiness
it's during times like this
i crave to be with you
a bed too big for one
a blanket too thin for warmth
not even the cup of coffee
my lips taste and kiss
will suffice for my longing
of your presence that i miss

You are the kind of literature
That makes more sense
Amid ***** streets
Smelly creeks
And crowded trains.
You're really, really nice.

Our very existence was the dust in the  wind,

and the remnants of our love,

speckled across the night sky,
