we laugh about death
yet it still lingers at the end of our breaths

how dare I fall in love with you
with a silly, little boy
with a tipsy grin, and soft skin
how dare i
how dare I miss you too late, and you love me too early
the rain is no longer an invitation to dance,
and the clouds are no longer paintings
and there are no words to describe the both of us
the chaos we were, a mess, a beautiful chaotic mess
how dare you
how dare you fall in love with me
a love so fragile, like glass
how dare you fall in love with me
just for it not to last

distant melody

I hear a distant melody outside my window
being swarmed by the music of crickets,
and the sighs of the cold wind
it gets fainter and fainter
with every sad breath
and every heartache
my distant melody

not so fulfilled

I could get used to you
you could get used to me
we'll live together forever
content
but never happily

i do not love you

i do not love you
i cannot hold you as you hold me
i cannot kiss you as you kiss me
i cannot be your person, your lover, your friend,
there is no one to blame but i
i do not love you
to love you would be a lie, a pain, a headache
we can waltz in the spring,
and kiss under cherry blossoms,
but i do not love you
no matter how hard i try
no matter how many slobbery kisses, and sweet words,
no matter your gentle touches, and kind eyes
i do not love you
your words are enough
my love,
your actions are enough
but i am not
i do not love you

to my future love

i love you i love you i love you
like a little girl loves a little boy down the street
the way my father once loved my mother
i love you as deeply as my mother has fallen
i love you with every word i write and every lie i tell
i love you with every slobbery kiss
i love you with every slurred word
i love you with every heart pain and headache
the way poison loves to kiss drunken lips
i love you i love you i love you
so foolishly
so childishly
i love you the way i love spring
i love you the way i love music and clashing notes
i love you the way i love my fingers pressing onto the keys
i love you like the way i love morning sunrises
i love you the way i love brownies and chocolate
i love you with falling petals and every dying flower
i love you with all the hate i have
i love you with all the love i am
i love you with everything all at once
i love you with all the colors and all the darkness
i love you with all my heart racing
with the speakers booming in the dark
i love you with all my disasters and my beauties
i love you so repeatedly i love you so much i love you too much
i love you the way i wish to love someone in the future
i love you the way i wish someone loves me
i love you i love you i love

she.

she is catastrophic
handcrafted delicately
she is lovely
she is everything all at once
she is angry waves crashing
she is peace,
she is air
she is madness,
rage,
horrid
she is love
she is hate
she is shattering windows and
when light hits glass
like a thousand exploding galaxies

#she

— The End —
