palms rippling over her hips,
they shine, pale
a rival to the moon.


in the fullness of the orbit that pulls the tide they pull
in to each other.

a brief collapse,

they fit inside one another and the universe drips joy.

crawl through the hole in my tights,
a tunnel straight to my soul

i am the type of girl who falls in love with the small things instantly

a tattoo of Catcher in the Rye on your chest
vocabulary: visceral, passionate, pragmatic, romanticized
a barista with combed hair i want to see messy in the morning
a singer,
the raw kind.
a writer, please show me your journal.
a traveler
let's sit on a balcony and read together.

lightheaded on americanos, cigarettes, and the idea of you,


we are all humans
why can't i just say: let's get close?

why do i have to play the infatuation game like a familiar chord on the piano
?


that's my problem:
i don't Have to do anything

obligation is a choice.

and i am choosing impulsive love instead.

cedar wood oil and the word BOUNDLESS inked for good.

shouldn't i be
hostile?

attack isn't my style,  darling. grace and ferocity.

besides, i know i'll just end up
leaking
for you:

unfolding into uncontrollable desire to
be
the
closest
thing
to you,


take whatever you tantalize me with
hungrily

take off whatever you touch
destructively

in love with

this

de ja vu.

good
luck
running
from
yourself,
                       this city is so small

his vulnerability is a bed i never once slept in

someone told me that you would get uglier with time.

False,

your beauty amplifies the farther and farther you move away from what we
almost had.

even when you left me at that party and showed up with another girl and everyone yelled at you for
treating me like ****

your mask did not crack and fall away

it continued to glow and my fingers jumped to trace it,
again.



falling in love with fellow free spirits leaves my heart swinging open wide
what is there to do but keep walking?

my capacity to love will never be lessened by another's capacity to fear

that's why i am still able to think you are a
pretty
person.
