your eyelashes
quakes
against my cheek,
your eyes whispering
stories
to my bones
i want open balconies
and luminous city skies
i want black sunrises
and wet hair
heavy of plants and dew


there is champagne in my heart
when you touch me
there's **** growing inside of my chest
when you leave me
in the winter night
the moon will never stop bleeding
velvet
is this what love feels like?
deep breaths and cold hands?

In your arms is where I long to be
Safe and content, I can just be me
I no longer have to be strong and in control
For just a little while I can step out of that role
In your arms all my worries fade away
In your arms I wish I could stay.

Irrational heart, falling so fast
Hasn't learned anything from the past
Kind words are spoken & I'm taken in
"Wow~ what an amazing guy... wait, how long's it been?"
There's definitely a connection there
But still I must beware
Not a time for too much courage, but for caution instead
Can't let those sweet words get to my head
