words have failed me
so keep your head on my chest,
listen to the beating of my heart
put to words my passions
make art of my affections

daylight distractions fall away
to reveal true emotion, become visible:
truths unlocked under the moonlight.
In this lucidity of twilight
I can no longer ignore your absence.
so come hold me,
I crave your skin on mine,
the touch of your hands.
for a lonely day compares not
to a lonely night

The only thing I wanted
was to be loved completely

The fire I was afraid of had come from my refuge all along.
So let the tongues devour those walls,
I’ve found protection elsewhere.

I spend my days collecting memories
but no other can compare
to the days I spent in bed
with you

My fingertips have lost feeling
I stumble over nothing
but no matter what I try
my stomach overturns when you walk into the room.

Your body’s borders,
These walls crumbled,
All this unclaimed land,
Ready for the taking,
Conquer these cliffs
Sail my seas,
This nation of mine,
Brought to it’s knees
