i am as constant as
the waves that kiss the shoreline
know that it all gets a bit too much
and all you wanted was time
but im drawn to the need of
never staying still
you begged me to stop
looking at you
with pity in my eyes
as you told me pretty words
that were just wasted on
people like me
and it all just felt inadequate

my insides and outsides tangle together
and i breathe as if i'm underwater and
it is immensely loud and quiet at the same time
quiet like the streets of the town i grew up in on sunday mornings
quiet like the times i failed to say the words stuck on my tonque outloud
loud like the times i'm trying to fall asleep but
the mistakes i made years ago keep screaming
loud like the memory of your voice saying you needed to go
quiet like the way i let you

darling;
           I
is the loneliest word
it will haunt you
when it's loud
                       loud
                                loud
inside your head
and i'm still missing from your bed
please don't get caught on my edges
i promise i'll try to do this better
perhaps some people
were never meant to
build rooms inside each other's hearts
maybe we were only ever meant
to fall in love for
hours at a time

#love

she turns into earthquakes
cannot be changed
shall not even try
she is calm
like the traffic at 5 am
on a sunday morning
mind that runs in infinite circles
thoughts tangled and knotted
big drunken words that sound like promises
the paradox of too much and nothing at all
she tells all her secrets with a smile
murders the meaning with truths told
mixed with white lies
fools only listen to what is left unsaid
remember what they say about blind eyes seeing the best

there is a map on my wall
reminder of how small i am
the queen of wanderlust
and craving for a home
never stopping hunger for seeing
feeling
everything
all of it and nothing at all
getting lost in trying to find myself
and the nagging fear of losing time

with kisses i trace the poems
written on your skin
i want to know all your secrets
love the broken bits the way
they deserve to be loved
surely you must be made of sunlight
but youre only ever watching the stars

always always waiting
for you to stop living inside
your own head

been waiting for years

when did you decide
you were above it all
ultimatums don't work
if you just keep crossing your fingers
what are promises worth
if you make breaking them into a game

i'll wait
