On the edge.
Watering cheap printed flowers
on rough and itchy blankets.
He listens to the heart he no longer wants
dwindle and die,
like a car wreck right before your eyes.
Brings you down by your soul,
in all the ways you used to flow.
Brings you down by calling your grandmother through your cry,
through the years of forgotten sighs
and now you're begging to
be brought home.

Come here.
Heart flutter to this day,
remember cheeky smile,
sweaty hair and the way
he made your world sway.
By the front of your shirt,
he brings you down to his level.
Through the hardwood floor,
he brings you down past dignity left at the door.
On the ground you know,
he brings you down past the crust.
Doesn't stop there,
he takes you to the center of the earth.

Back and forth,
vacant eyes search for remaining worth.
Pavement of past and present,
places you'll never know.
Sadness fills the dreaded sky,
reminds you of a certain time.
Ask yourself why.
You'll dig.
You can dig for two, three,
maybe four.
You can dig until there is nothing more.
Every ghost has a reason,
yours often come like different seasons.
Your a ghost of regret,
a ghost of treading slow.
But you are a ghost,
a ghost that they will always know.

"can we pretend that this never happened? can we pretend that the photo's on my phone, the pictures on the wall, the poems in my book the endless number of calls, the days out, the days in, the days somewhere inbetween, the nights, the lessons taught, the stories told and retold, till we both know them better than the back of our hands that touched when we didn't want them too, but i did, i did, i did."

tear it out cleanly.
it can heal i can deal with the scars i'm not afraid anymore
but i can't sustain this.
do not resuscitate me.
not long ago
when you & i
were watching all the stars

the patterns in
the pitch-black sky--
we named one that was ours.

but sadly now
it's not the same
the stars, they seem so far

i've realized
the nights we spent
were countless wasted hours

*

eventually
as time goes on
the star too, will grow old

before it turns
to nothingness
it will have to explode
i liked making this one ayeeee
Loving you
My dear
How I loved you
Deeply and Vastly
And yet
Our love
Was the most exquisite
Form of
Self destruction
For now I lie here
Broken
Empty
And hurting
Wishing that I
Didn't fall in love
With you
Love is dangerous... interesting;[ use of spaces..

Sometimes with the Heart
Seldom with the Soul
Scarcer once with the Might
Few—love at all.
Sometimes you come back into my life like a sweet secret on my lips.
I think of all the times we spent underneath the sheets laughing while we touched each others souls and bodies.

You taste like cheap beer and regret and for some reason my self -destructive mind doesn't seem to mind.
I lick your lips and taste your tongue against mine as we kiss till the sun rises.

No one knows though, we keep this locked and loaded under our belts ready to fire at any moment.
Loose lips sink ships or so they say but god, I wanna scream your name to the sky.

If they knew... we would never make it out alive.
They would tell us we were wrong.
They would tell us " not again"
And we would smile and agree knowing we would be seeing each other later that night.

This ones for you my aching secret .
My long lost love affair I am choosing to keep under wraps.
My worst nightmare with the sweetest taste.
I'll see you in the morning when we pretend we don't know each others names anymore.
No excuse for the things I could not see
the pain in your body overwhelming you till the point that you would cringe and cry
teardrops falling as your knees gave way to pain and
where would I be?
What was I doing?
Nothing.
And then you'd feign a smile and hold close to me and tremble
just barely shaking because you were afraid that I'd find out you were in pain
and you had no right to hide it
but I have no right to know of it
your past, your present
none of that.
Seeing you close your eyes usually unblinking
trembling softly as if due to the breeze
you made me feel at ease
and where are you now?
What are you doing?
Are you all-right?
Excuse my ignorance for not knowing sooner
that which I was not meant to be informed of
sort of just
came into being
and I can't help but worry that you'll go away with the knowledge I have gained
and I'll be alone here.
Who am I to worry?
Lover, passionate kiss
Yet all the while your pain grew
and what was it to me?
What did I know?
Nothing.
Please, excuse my ignorance.
I just wish to know that you'll be fine
because everything changes in due time.
