In fear of losing her,
I did not grasp onto her too tightly.
Instead,
I cried.
And instead,
I let go.

i want to write poetry like how some music sounds,
like the soft yet present low octave harmonies that are blurred
by the pedal,
and everything outside is blurred
by the falling rain,
and the crackling of
the fire matches the grass that sways in the breeze.
And the house is dark except for
the embers in the fireplace and
there’s a chill in the house that somehow reaches past the fabric of your sweater.
And you feel full of life but empty at the same time,
like the rich sad song of a slow saxophone,
crying over who you lost
and lost in who you shall soon find.
And you lay down and let yourself unwind,
Melt into this moment,
Just you, trapped in your thoughts,
But for the first time that’s not a bad thing.
The rain keeps falling and a small bird sings,
The fire doesn’t die and the piano plings.
And oh, being alive feels so wonderful and dark.

and in the heat of the moment,
your body on mine,
you melted my cold cold heart,
and before tracing my back with your fingernails,
you promised me they weren't sharp.

and in the heat of the moment
you melted my heart,
and before running your nails down my spine
you looked at my eyes,
you kissed me hard,
you promised me you were mine.

and you were on top,
*******, unstoppable,
and I said don't look at my chest,
but you looked me in the eyes,
kissed me and said,
you are beautiful, even undressed

the city still lives when the sky cries
If anything
it shines
and looks more alive
and the people will run
and the birds will cry
cursing their wings and
cursing the sky,
but I know better.

water, when you fall
I'll be here
I'll catch you,
and you, rain
you can seep into my veins,
and you can chill every
inch of my bones,
but I'll love you, without any shame
I'll love,
I'll still love you the same

she makes the moon rise
look into her forest eyes
overlook her honest lies,
love her, even when she cries
and love her when-
surprise surprise
-hearts to ice
and true love dies

don't let the heart stand above all
the harder you hope
the harder you'll fall.

just know in my heart that I love you so,
I will hope, I will love
and I won't let you get go.

is it so easy
to break my heart
only to go back
to the one who broke yours?
