your name is
forbidden in
my mouth
or in my heart
because when
i think about
you;

i'll cry a little more,
hurt a little stronger
love a little softer
because you no longer
make me feel sober

i'm drunk on the
memory of you

Heaven rained on me,
I breathed in the petrichor,
Bathed in the downpour.

Forget me
As I fade away
Drift away
Even space isn’t here to stay
As planets watch stars collide
Unaware by which laws they abide
Unknown to them their destined sorrow
For they too must disappear
And the universe will follow

So why am I

Still here

i want to love you
with my mouth open
i want to love you
without words

It seems so easy to lose yourself
In so many different ways
You can lose yourself
In a book
In writing
In a hobby
Or you can lose yourself
To your guilt
To meaningless time *****
To the media
No longer do I want to lose myself
In things that don't fill me
With love
With light
With joy
I want to ignite
To write
To be passionate
Not passive
I do not want to be a passive participant in life
Distracted by the lighting of my phone
So easy to miss out when
You're worrying about everything you might miss out on through a screen

Boundaries not barriers baby
Protect but don’t shut out
You feel you have to close the door
But please don’t lock it
