I fell asleep Summer
  and
Woke with Lungs
Frosted Autumn.

Sun buried beneath my Skin
Washes Jack kissed lips.

Without You
   I wake up Autumn

Love does not give flowers.
Love does not speak in
Poems,
Or rhymes.
Love is a sigh
That makes you whole.
You are the moon
that listens to me
at 4 am
when I lie on my back,
looking at the ceiling
thinking
how we could have been,
how we were supposed to be.
But then again,
you are the moon
and I'm the human
and we're million miles apart.
I wish we were closer

I am
  Not the one
          Who will deal with
                    All your lies and all
                           Your hatred. I am the one
                                     Who will perhaps send you to salvation.

recently i've found my
eyelids heavy and my neck
too weak for my head and a
gravitational pull calls my
consciousness down into the
dark and when i wake it's to
people saying,
"you shouldn't stay up so late".
i nod no, thinking of the nights
when the time seems slipping through
the cracks in my heart and i can't
bear to close my eyes for fear of
missing something. it's my private
starlight patch; cool air in my
hot head and the sound of nothing
on the streets like after-rainfall.
the still quiet calm of 2am and the
curling toes and the dark, always
- undeniably - the end.

Well here I am
once again.
Sitting here at 3 A.M.
And there's no escape
to the way I feel.
No escape to the way
you made me feel.
You haunt me
in every possible way.
that one day
my poems
will be
of pure
*bliss
one day

but you look at her
as if you just found
your new favorite thing
in the whole world
(i look at you like that too)
I was the tides and you were the moon,
                             you brought me too close all too soon

and just like the tides all I can feel is the cold
                             we suddenly came crashing to a unfortunate halt.

You shouldn't have said you revolve round another
                             my voice sounds so dull when before it was thunder

if these words were lies I would surely paint them white
                             because honestly baby, I just don't wanna fight.

So please won't you stop rubbing salt in my wounds?
                             I wish what we had could again be resumed

however you are the moon and no doubt you'll move on
                             I barely even had you and you're already gone.

So your words are like anchors and I'm helplessly drowning
                            my heart was so strong but you stopped its pounding.
spoiler: the tides are me, and i'm paralysed without the moon.
