how could I
have lost myself
when you were
the one covering
everything up?
(c) Brooke Otto 2014
we are destiny
we are fate
we are- what do people call it?
soulmates?
no not soulmates but something else
that translates to "meant for this"
something that stands for "I cannot break from you, please don't leave me"
I don't want to build a life with
anyone else
Did you get what you wanted
or are you still haunted
by a shiver in your bones
and quiver in your lips
when you think about what's beneath
your clothes
go slow now, breathe easy
speak careful because your words
are not like friends
you can't take them back, no
you can't take them back
dressed in black
darker than pitch
last ditch effort to throw your head back
exhale and laugh it all away
this is the last advice I'll give you
so listen deep to what I say
every guy who holds you up
might just drag you down
compare them all to me
do they listen to your music
do they know your favorite tea
do they tuck you in at two a.m
before they have to leave
if they don't make your jaw drop
or surprise you everyday
ask yourself this question
did you get what you
wanted

did you get
what you...
Daniel Magner 2014
who I want to be is
trapped beneath my
skin, stretching
stretching,
tearing at my
seams.
she cries, "let him go
and the wound will
set me free. oh, god,
please."
