falling on broken hearts and wasted in my dreams

I wish I could take back those nights when we got so close
I didn't even know what it was like to be alone.
you were my first
I know I said you weren't,
I couldn't let you know how real it was for me
how your lips on my neck felt like home
I couldn't show you that you made me feel weak
because weak meant I was all alone.

we were laying on my couch listening to the songs on your phone
I kissed your cheek
you took a kiss from my forbidden lips
but I felt complete
I knew it was going to end
because my heart was starting to bend and everything was about to break again.

I'm writing this now with tears in my eyes at 4 am
hoping that you will read this
I think I'm falling
but I know I'm pushing you away
I cant control the thoughts in my head, I cant control the pain.
I've been broken since 6 years of age because everyone left me
you're leaving too,
there is nothing I can do
I hate to say this but I think...
I LOVE YOU

Longing

I want to tell this to you now. But I could never find the words to tell you. I wrote hieroglyphics across your eyelids, stapled memos to your chest, and flew banners in the scenery while you dreamt.

Translations of these words alone will not be sufficient enough to tell you what I want to share. I... Miss you. I miss you like a front tooth on picture day.

Hunger

If I could serve a buffet of every word I have ever thrown up out of this mouth, I would lose my appetite.

Endgame

Free me now and leave me lonely
take your broken heart from mine, dry your eyes, these tears won't save us
as we tread our final mile.
Scattered dreams and shared belongings
gathered up and set apart,
works of ours, once shared, now reeling,
silent, as we break their hearts
