Dec 2011
i want frightening things running laps through
       the cycles of my veins i want nothing
but inevitable exhales and high pitched-insanity ringing
in my ears and the calm lulling of oceans
hugging my bruising thoughts  

       i want to write you letters between your
       tightly-bound layers because you let me
inside and sometimes let my soul wander there
i want crashing into endless fields i want shades of
yellow dancing over my daydreams

       i want the corners of us to overlap in subtle
       ways i want knowing glances and secretly
pressing your smiles to the delicate lining of my
ribcage because i don't want alone anymore i'm not
asking for alone because now

       i want to let everything surround me
       suddenly until i am nothing but this, this
complete euphoria and maybe i want too
much too often and though i would never
admit it i'm sure that i want

       (you)
written november 2011.

a line i wrote a while ago but never shared:

"i used to paint tender words like 'alone'
along the delicate lining of my ribcaging

but i had never been truly alone
i was only asking"
