since our love tested all odds, I am here to make this testament
I will make my bed in your eyes, so that no matter where you are gazing or who you are looking at; you will catch a glimpse of me.
I will plant a cell of my own into the soles of your shoes to ensure you I am with you every step of the way- in a way, we will grow together.
I will not suppress my emotions, but instead plaster the words that fall from my fingertips, onto billboards; the whole world will be exposed to the facade that is your heart.
Your ears will ring my laugh and your hands will turn cold at the touch of another
I will instill myself into your being in every way that I am able and the reflection of us as a whole will haunt you until you remember,.
Remember my sweet words that acted as a lullaby for your soul
Remember my blonde hair pressed against that floral, yellow dress.
Remember the way I knew what you were thinking before you spoke a word
Remember the endless love that I gave and never stopped giving and never will stop wanting to give you.
Remember

Seeing you with her makes my bones ache and a fever spread across my body because she makes you laugh but you laugh with your teeth and I should be happy because only a handful of times was I ever able to see your teeth through a giggle. You were scared and so was I but I let myself fall, completely vulnerable to my surroundings. As if the calcium was extracted from my bones and every inch of me was malleable. your body acted as rubber, allowing my love to bounce off of you but never stick. Every passing comment entered through your semipermeable skin as if you were waiting for something more fulfilling. I was never enough for you and that is what hurts the most, after all these months this is what hurts the most. I wish every night that I could go back to falling. I dream that I am falling and you are at the bottom, but this time you catch me and we fall together, building each other from the rubble that was left. I wish, I dream, I must. This keeps my head out of the cloud, it is the only thing that has made sense to me.

My fragile heart has been held in far too many hands that restrain it from pumping. It has been bruised and broken, misused and taken for granted by men who believe they are superior to love. However, as much as I would like to believe all good things come to end, I cannot. For I have touched far too many souls, and kissed too many lips to believe that only one soul entwines with ours; that all men speak love but only adore the body in a dimly lit room. I have faith that one day a man will disclose his love without fear of his masculinity being tarnished. I will live to see chivalry's last breath and thank it for not conforming to the norms of society. I will love until it is ingrained into others that love is not a game ready to be won.
But rather, love is a lifestyle that needs to be nurtured.

Voices often enter his ear as the sound of music, voices turn into consistent tones and fluctuation bounces off of the eardrum as a beat.
He tells me my voice is a sweet Lullaby, soothing the souls of the deaf.
He plays me as well as his instruments, he takes his time to familiarize himself with my indentations and creases,
He picks up on what notes seep from my pours, making adjustments as he goes.
He is gentle and careful with his words, knowing that an off beat would turn me astray.
His love is written as sheet music that is hard to make out.  
But, In hopes that you may learn the rhythm of his soul, You press your ear to his chest, listening and imitating the thumping of his heartbeat; going at your own pace, you perfect each cord and tune whenever you find yourself stuck-
your intentions were always pure, and he commended you for following along for so lone, yet the duration of this music lesson was mistaken for absentminded love.
and like any great song, it ended, and he was gone.

The cold, rushing water came up to my ankles and the slippery pebbles beneath my feet made it hard to get to you - the sun was beating on my skin and striking my eyes, making it hard for me to see you-
You told me to be cautious so that I wouldn't fall, but I lost balance and we both went down.
This particular memory revolves in my mind, like a mobile.
The water acting as a symbol of destruction, tearing us up from the roots, drowning us before we had the chance to swim
A love like this,
perhaps it isn't made
for mundane living.

I can still feel
the texture of your
deep yellow shirt
as I held you in my arms,
sleeping your holy sleep.

At the very centre of my fingertips,
I can still feel the sense
that I am holding life itself,
that I am holding - Infinity.

Green and new as emerging plant life,
vaster than the velvety immensity
of this Icelandic night.
