When you like someone everything changes, doesn't it?
It's as if the rules don't apply.
Your turn offs fade away and you don't quite understand why.
You start to notice the little things,
Like the way they their eyes squint when they smile.
Or how their hair is always a mess,
Or how beautiful their awkward laugh is.
You see the best in them when everyone else sees the worst.
You look at them with that lust, a desire,
A beating in your heart screaming kiss me.
But until that happens all you can think about is how they're going to taste on your lips,
How your sheets are going to smell once they've left,
And how your heart is gonna skip a beat every time he says your name.
Some would call it an infatuation,
I'd just call it a crush.

I pull their names
Like draft day
One come
Two stay
Disgust and guilt
Always in my way

I replay our acts
Like a favorite scene
I’m silent, he moans
I mutely scream
In my head I live
In my body I’m dead

I recall them
Boy by man
Him and he
Only to realize
no male has
ever loved me
No love lost. No love found.

So far away
Capturing my heart
Taking it with you
So far far away

I long for you
I need you
But you don't need me
Breaking me apart
Causing me pain

How dare you
Taking my heart
Making me love you
Deeply
Without loving me back

Mourning - you flew over indigo waters,
landing
Stealthy stalker you walked the shallows  
billing silvery minnows
On rust red stilts, you're built
to move in watery fields
Eyes piercing depths of algae blooms
rippled, your swaying seaweed room
Silent hunter,
feathery plumed

I'm happy one minute
And then you flip
And so do I

One minute I'm in love
And rightly so
But then you decide to speak

You like to take anything
That brings us joy
And crush it

Well, we won't pretend anymore
You've lost now
It's all over now

We aren't under your control
You're just going to lose us
But we belong here

And so I'll fight for them
Against you
And do what I know to do

So while you flip and flop
Change your emotions
I'll be emotionless

Because none of us can stand it
Any longer with you

I wish to hold love in my hands
To feel its warmth as a tangible thing

I wish to radiate adoration
To those who need it more than me

I wish to be stronger than a tsunami
Being a tide of joy

I wish to be washed in safety
To be bound to earth

I wish to hold that hand forever
To call it my own

I wish to caress your skin always
To keep you close

I wish to carry our love in my hands
To know its truth

I may be a simple emotion
Or a mix of all
You may interpret only one
Or sense them all
But either way it goes
I'm an open book

I grasp for the remnants
Of what I once was
