Fill me up with each thought
that you have thought up
while you slept on your own
and woke at twelve at night
to show that you live
and that you have not yet ceased
to breathe in and out in time
to the beat of her heart;
pour out the lead that colors your heart
a few shades too dark to be seen
and scrub clean the scarred edges
so they can mend.
Stitch up each wound with the threads
that were left from your pursed lips
and speak to her through my words
and this mind of mine.

Speak to them in hushed breaths
A wisp of air formed from chapped lips
Glide warm palms over scarred skin stretched smooth
Trace veins and leave a trace of your scent
On raw hearts and bruised body parts
Scratch sharp nails down the backs
Of those you have loved
So you can leave your mark
Rest your head on the chests
Of those you wish to be linked to
Hear the breath leave the lungs
Of those you hold close
And be soothed by the swell
Of cages of bones that hold back
The weighted hearts of once free men

I'm just a hopeless romantic
and you're just someone
who hopes less
with each day that passes
and has no time
for romantic actions

Your words send chills down my spine, phrases fall from your lips and end as beautiful lines

You're the most beautiful poet that I'll ever find, I feel I'll love you for the rest of my life, or till the end of time

w h i c h e v e r comes second

I'll stitch myself together
with the most misshapen parts
and sharpest shards of who I am;
not so that I might return
to who I once was,
but in hopes that I might
become something better,
or at least someone
somewhat whole again.

Into your arms,
Into your soul,
I'll set you free
when no one knows
that you're enslaved
by the burden of
humanity.

Quick lick across chapped lips and slick teeth,
smoke in the air and bodies swaying
to the bass beating through the ground,
heart beat racing now,
Part of the rave, club's in a haze,
my dancing partner's a daze but it's okay, walking away, further into the crowd,
spinning around, I've got them reeling now,
don't know how to keep a girl entertained.
