It was the saddest thing I'd ever seen
A single tear rolled down her cheek
But she quickly wiped it clean

Without a single sound or change in expression
The blood flowing from her veins showed how easily
One can give in to depression.

my lips
trail down your spine
followed by
my trembling fingertips

my palm
pressed flat on
the small of
your arched back

all I wanted was
for my touch to resonate
in your mind like
your voice does in mine

& with each gasp & moan
you let escape past your lips
my name sounds like music
when you whisper it softly

now with you wrapped up in only a sheet
I watch your chest rise & fall as you breathe
you'll never understand just how lovely you look
in nothing but my t shirt curled up next to me

I'm in love
Let me be

A week ive been home
not many nights spent alone
having you wrapped up in my arms is so much better
than hearing your voice over the phone

We waited patiently for the months to pass
But im glad waiting to kiss you is a thing of the past
3 months in, theres no way out now
so you better have planned on making this last

Your eyelids so heavy you cant remember the words you had written the night before
Words so heavy that they weigh down your heart like an anchor
Dragged out to sea unwillingly
Do we float?
Or do we sink?
Laying underneath the waves in the sands
Its almost an eerie feeling to listen to my voice singing above the surface
You listened.
But you did not hear.
Now my ship has come & I must flee these waters
But do not be sad my dear,
For you chose to sink & never to surface
Knowing how badly I needed you near.

So ill go home to California & leave Milwaukee behind
In hopes that what ive been looking for is waiting for me to find.

I'd like not for you to be
Sympathetic.

I'd like for you to tell me
Just how strong I look.

Although I have no muscles
Just how strong do I look?

With all my scars & my broken heart
She loves me still.

But she knows not of sadness.

I'd like for you to look at me
& just know,

Now that our eyes have met
I've made it this far.

All
For
You

So darling,

I'd like not for you to be
Sympathetic.

I'd like for you to tell me that I'm home now
So I don't have to bleed anymore.

I'd like that a lot.

The thunderstorm had ended
There was no longer lighting flashing across the sky
I had nothing golden to say tonight
So I laid my head down and asked myself why

Why can't I get you out of my mind?

So now the rain washes off last weeks misery
And I'm scrambling to find beauty in my words
I scream the deafening truth across seas
But still my love for you is unheard

I suppose there's nothing to do but sleep away the days we'll spend apart.
I'll close my eyes now & hope soon to hear the beating of your heart.

So accustomed to your kisses
Being a semicolon followed by an an asterisk

You said you cant wait
To cuddle & kiss

I'm still a little on edge
About putting my heart at risk

But mostly I don't worry
Because, strangely...

I trust you.

she let her blunt hang lazily between tight lips
i loved the way the smoke smelled as she exhaled
she couldnt resist calling me names she had made up for me
i cant say i mind that she calls me what she pleases.

sleep still in the corners of her eyes as she crawls out of bed
she could never know just how beautiful she is to me
underneath her false nails & eyelashes
lies a mysterious cavern waiting to be explored.

reluctant fingertips collide with her hips as we first kiss
how long have we been waiting for this, my dear?
delayed conversation carries on deep into the hours of the night
better late than never, i suppose.

120 hours, 7200 minutes, 43200 seconds until I have to leave again.

120 hours, 7200 minutes, 43200 seconds to make you fall in love with me.

120 hours, 7200 minutes, 43200 seconds to make up for all the lost time.

i asked her "where have you been all my life?"
the corners of her lips curled upward with her reply
"ive been waiting right here for you darling"
with sincerity in her eyes.

oh, but, lover... my innocence has come & gone
i ask you please refrain from abandoning me too.
for i must admit;
ive grown quite fond of you.

as i make my way back from California
like driftwood floating along the river
i smile & wave goodbye to you, my sweet
all though i know it is no consolation

you cant understand why i had to go
but there are many reasons i cant stay home

so as our last hour comes to an end
do not say farewell, my love, ill be back again

a
man
once told me
21 days
makes
a
habit
& well I haven't
been
counting
but i'd
feel
quite
peculiar
not to tell you
good morning & good night,
my love.
as the sun creeps
through my window
& shines onto my face
I
take
comfort
in
knowing
I am one day closer to you
my love.

The night  glows vibrant
Clear skies with a bright shine over the valley
We make our way to the corner store
As we duck through the alleys
The night is young & so are we
Drink soda to chase down the poison
So we can run wild & free
Our faded footsteps lead us down the street
Intoxicated & numb to the night time breeze
Our interlocked fingers lead us along the trees
Into a back yard through a window with no screen
We're drunk
We kiss
We touch
We ****
But I won't ever fall in love
Who knew *** & alcohol was equivalent to drugs?
Oh I know all too well
We're drunk
We're young
We're alive tonight
So just have fun
& I hope there's no hard feelings
When you wake up alone

I found god
Huddled up on a street corner
With his hand outstretched & an empty palm

He asked me for a little change
& as I pulled out my wallet he says
"Your money serves me no purpose child,
I asked you for change"

I shook my head & laughed at him & I say
"Look at this beautiful mess you've made
& of all people you ask me for change?"

I lay my head down
On this uncomfortable couch
& try to find ways to make it
Through this last week.

Four months of sleepless nights
Has passed me by alongside
Two seasons but I swear
This year was different.

Its like the weather had no transition
It felt like just yesterday
That I held my chin to my chest
In efforts to keep out the Wisconsin snow

Now its the end of June
& the grass is green again
But I have this lingering feeling
That I have over stayed my welcome

I'll soon return to the valleys of California
Where she waits for me just like she has
For too **** long but she tells herself
One more week & I'll be home

I know I don't belong here
So I lay on this couch & try
To find ways to make it
Through this very last week...

Four months of sleepless nights
& a whole summer to make up for
All the days we spent apart

A whole summer to make up for
Every
Lonely
Week.

a dim light
from an active screen
you stayed up with me through the late hours of the night
you understood my silent screams

a light just bright enough
to cast a shadow in the dark
your love shines vibrant
& proves its not as dark as I thought
m0ldylungs Jun 2013
maybe I'm a little too careful
maybe I'm a little too much
maybe I'm just terrified to lose you
that would be just my luck

maybe I'm a little too paranoid
maybe that's why I've got a good grip on you
maybe I need you by my side
to be able to continue

maybe I'm a mess
maybe I'm not
baby I know you look at me differently
you find perfection in my flaws

so maybe this is unconditional love
& maybe I sound crazy
but i could spend a million years locking lips
maybe if you let me, maybe.

White lies sparkle
Like diamonds in her eyes
Pretty on the outside
But only a demon in disguise
She could rip your heart out
& smile in your face
Drop it on the concrete in front of you
& smash it into paste
Its true that this world
Is a ****** up place
Pretty on the outside
But on the inside
Its a whole different case
m0ldylungs Apr 2013
We start off in your bedroom where
The darkness hides our scars & insecurities
We strip each other of our clothes and proceed
To dance to the melody of the art of growing old

As lovely as love could ever be
I've never felt as peaceful as I felt
When you made love to me

We continued to slip out of our skin
A pile of bones intertwined & at rest
I haven't slept like this in months

This is fate dressed in his Sunday best
Sending me subtle signals to carry out your command
Softly now, love, whisper to me softly
Tell me what I've been waiting to hear;

I love you too, dear.

/I told her I thought she was beautiful
She told me that she already knew, but thank you

I let her know that I loved her even if it was too soon
She never used to say it back she would only call me cute

I told her I couldn't picture myself without her
She said she didn't believe it to be true



I said I wanted to wait to tell her
But she forced it out of me
& when I told her I was in love
The 120 second wait for a reply scared the hell out of me

She said once again that I was cute
& to pretend I hadn't said it
I knew she wasn't ready
& to this day I regret it

She used to love you
Now all thats left is broken
Where did the time go?
m0ldylungs Apr 2013
I may be hard to handle sometimes.
I frustrate myself.
I know I can be pretty stubborn.
Its just that...
I get so scared.
I over-think & start to think you don't care.
I say things I don't mean,
I make myself look so stupid.

These words all look like garbage to me.
I'm not sure you can call this writing let alone,
place it in the category of poetry.

worthless, its all worthless.
so i'll end my worthless night
locked in the bathroom with a blade & shut off the light.

I'm sorry for the words exchanged tonight.
I never meant it.
I never meant it.

— The End —
