orbit

they tell you not to let
someone become your world,
but the earth does not choose
to revolve around the sun

you smoothed down
my frayed edges
then pulled me apart
from the seams

you rascal you

i may have knocked
on your door with ill intentions,
but yours were much much worse
it seems we were both wolves
dressed as sheep.

cracked

i am a broken record
irreparable
so i’ll keep spinning
until someone comes along
who knows they can’t fix me
but they love me anyway.

blurred lines

they say
hindsight is 20/20
but my vision
always has been perfect
i thought i saw things with clarity
but eyesight deteriorates with age
and i’m not sure i see things so
clearly anymore

i curled up next to you
and murmured sweet nothings
into your ear
so you wouldn’t hear the sound
of my fragile heart
breaking

slap my ***
and call me baby
throw me against the wall
and kiss me gently
**** me hard
and tell me that you love me
