crimson chevrolet driving so swiftly down beachside boulevard

you were
a drug that only worked when i didn’t need you
a run down
crimson chevrolet
driving so swiftly down
the beachside boulevard
nothing but endless ocean to the left
and a booming city at rest
to the right
i needed you
i wanted to come home
to lie next to you
dreaming of a life full of
daises
and strawberries on silver platters
in the summer
blue skies
forever

star light, star bright
the first star i seen that night

never worked

you didn't have to hide

you could have told me
you could have told me then
you didn’t have to hide it
why..
why did you hide it
you knew i felt the same
you knew i wanted you to feel the same
did you?
i tried to feel for other people
and i did
but only for a split second
before my mind would make me think of you
you were the air i breathed
you were what kept me alive
until you cut me off
why..
why did you cut me off

you could have told me
you knew you could have told me
so why did you hide it

even then

a small town park
nearing dusk
the glow of the sun was golden
as i listened to the ripple
of a distant lake
even then
i loved you
even then

a big city house
nearing dawn
the glitter on the floor was blinding
as we watched the sun rise
through the abyss of trees
after the party
even then
i loved you
even then

isolation

how many times
have you looked for me,
in the middle of the night
when you crave familiarity?
when you need a friend that feels like home.
when you need someone to love you until it hurts.
when you need to feel something,
anything
what is it that you think of?
the sunrise after the party?
hot summer nights?
rolling around in the weeds?
does a supercut play on loop
reminding you
of all the magic we shared?

in the middle of the night
when you crave familiarity,
do you think of me?

illusions

and all i craved in that moment
was whatever you had to offer
i tried so hard
to open you,
to take a drink of your love
in hopes that maybe
someday
you might love me the same
but you were impossible
like a bottle
made of all glass
with no opening
and for months
i tried to
break you open
but i never could
until one day
you cracked
and it was then that i realized
you were an illusion
making me believe that
you could satisfy my thirst
but you didn’t
you never could.

the paradise in the woods

take my hand
lead me
to a world full of
shimmering brooks
towering trees
glistening meadows
and dancing fireflies.
show me a world
where
hearts are never broken
and laughter fills the air.
let me live in a
world where
our love can stay golden,
forever

you
are the paradise in the woods

we all have a paradise in the woods.

the stars always seemed to shine brighter when you were around

on a hot july night
i remember looking up to the sky
and getting lost in its stars
and how they would twinkle
almost like a quaint little village during christmas, or
a sea of fireflies in the forest.
but even the brightest star
held nothing over you
and the way your eyes would glow in the 6am sunlight
or how you could see every star inside your eyes.
their glow was enough to light up 1000 cities in their darkest hour.

it’s like you were the universe
and i was merely a speck
who got to experience your beauty,
and so i extended my hand to you
only to be met
with the emptiness that had taken its place.

i had been forbidden from your touch for more days than i could count.
but i still reach for you hand
hoping
that one day you will be there to meet my grasp.
and wether it be in the 6am sunlight, or the 10pm moonlight,
i only wish to love you as i did
once before
