i met you
as the leaves fell
and the sky turned grey

the world grew cold
as my heart turned warm

i missed you
as the leaves grew back
and the sky turned blue

the world grew warm
as my heart turned cold

it's all because of me
                                                                                                 it's all my fault

nothing will happen                                                                                        
but even if                                                                                                       °
something happens,                                                                                      °
it's not your fault.                                                                                          °
                            °
/ i have no regrets.                                                                                    °
you came into my life like a gift.                                                          
i'm just grateful for that.                                                                    
                                                                                                              me too.

I know the lingerie is meant to be taken off, but
my nakedness makes my eyes dart quick and
count every hair on my skin.
picking scabs turns into scars that
I have yet to tell you about.
without permission, I close my eyes
as you love me in the dark and
I wonder if you’re counting too.
scared of showing my torn skin

No wonder each tickle is seismic
There are mountains in your fingerprints
Tiny topographic maps
I want to sculpt a range of them
All peaks, plateaus and lowest points
All jades and pines and shades of you
And epoxy brooks will pool
Where swirls of myself etch the plaster
For if I touch you,
I thirst to water you
I thirst to water you

Please don’t leave those bruises on my thighs,
for me to look on fondly when you’re gone.

Love's only weakness
Is also its greatest strength:
It defies reason

In a coffee shop
on 118th & 10th
overlooking teachers college.
Enjoying my coffee
and a day off work
i melt into my seat
trying my best
to lock on to the rhythm
of people walking by.
