melodie foley
you are still far too
close for comfort
even though you are states away
8 hours
and 500 miles
between us
is not enough space
i can still feel
the magnetizing force
that brought us together in the first place
I have taken out every piercing
made sure every hole has closed up
my jewelry has not since been worn
and yet the pull
of you
gets more intense
with every step I take farther away

I don't even have words
We crested a mountain
In down pours and
60 mph winds
now I'm home
Wrapped in clothes
and blankets
full of
memories

I'm sorry my words get jumbled
flailing off of my tongue as if
I've just learned to speak.
they're all so calculatedly stoic,
yet so simultaneously messy
with the secrets
that slip out of my lips.
and I'm sorry that when i say
the things I'm meant to say,
they aren't the words
you want to hear.

Daisies have come out to dance
In my heart
They sway to my heart beat
In my lungs
I breath daisies
In my corrupt mind
*They bloom
Oh god what am I feeling

During the course of that fine evening
I witnessed the way in how loosely you swayed

With a care-free skip in each step
There wasn’t a **** thing that could stop you

All the amour and elation dripping
As each bead of sweat bit the dust

And with nothing in mind
Repeatedly I continued to watch you

Though my lips won’t bring me to say
That I simply adore you…

things don't happen to you uninvited.

stick around.

monsters come and go.

Change is hard

but like anything incredible,

its worth it.

maintaining it is useless.

any end of the emotional spectrum

turns us numb

and honestly,

who wants that?

.

the trick is

to keep the waves steady,

not too low,

not too high

and splash ourselves with each

more kindly.

.

and when the harsh waves threaten, dive.

dive deep and pull out that strength you hardly use.

it is no good to you wasted.

.

its okay.

you can do it.

it just takes a little getting used to

that's all.
