Our eyes are different
our minds so similar
Hearts struck from cliffs
of porous stone
how can you change
what you are after?
At breakneck speed
it is roll or run

My guise is significant
Adaptations adequate
In founding, proscribed
By a burrowing throne
Allocated empathy
Out of arbitrary agony
The suns of our comforts
Can boil your bones

Remember the wild call.
The earth between your toes
How nature allows us
There's no wrong way without a road
Internalize those symmetries
That form a greater whole
We are each what God sought
When he swore and broke the mould

You wonder
why I wiggle
so much
why my legs
bounce,
and my hands
twitch.
Truth is,
my mind
can't slow down
It doesn't know
how to take a day off,
its far too good
at tormenting me
more and more
with each
passing second.

It's not so much a longing as it is pure curiosity,
but there's no need to reopen closed wounds.
Sugar soothes my scars, but you're salt,
and we were meant to fall apart eventually.
So, I will call some neutrality
(this is my doing so),
because we all **** up, and I've no ill will left to poison anyone with,
and I will be here if you ever need me.
We will never have what we did, but I will never forget the good times.

Treading softly with fingers on your skin
our eyes locked on one another
gotta go soon, can't stay too long
every second with you is time well spent
though, I wonder if you feel the same
hearts beating as one
eventually we'll give in to
reduced sleep and nights spent drawing lazy circles in our wounds

From dusk til dawn
one thought on my mind
recoiling at the thought of anyone else
everything is you
various ways to ask you the same, but
even I can't figure out how, instead just
reveling in the way you say my name.
Right.

I'm crying because I have no clue where you are or how you're doing, yet I know for a fact your laying in a hospital bed right now. Then I remember how we met, in the hospital. My trail of thoughts wonder off and lead me to think that you've met another girl just like you met me.

I'm crying because I don't know where you are or how you're doing, yet I feel like right now you're thinking about someone else instead of me. Then I remember, how pretty all the other girls were. My trail of thoughts lead me to think that you don't like me anymore, and I'm here writing this about you... When you're in a hospital bed... Thinking about her.
inspired by a girl who fell in love at mental health hospital, who is insecure and depressed
