a single flower wilts
slowly coming to an end like a battery powered toy losing juice
i thought we were the next big thing
scribbles of our names under the bleachers
but
i hate myself
im sorry i know that messes everything up
i hate myself and it makes me hate you.
how do i fix that?

the rain
is warm and soft
like a barefooted lover
drenched in rainbow pastels
we run through the grass
hand in hand and collapse in a bed of wildflowers.
giggling
like
children
with no care in the world
feelings flutter in our chest
and past our teeth
into a world filled with birds singing in the morning
we are fearless
Stupid and determined
That we will make something beautiful

leaves are a fallen fruit
the grounds gaping mouth swallows them hole
Turning the earth with its tongue
leaves crinkle and crack
like bubble wrap
on an early morning.
crisp air holds the fogs hand as it creeps through the woods
quiet
blanketing the earth
they break apart
with a melodically crisp crunch
Bits of red and yellow confetti
In your hair, eyelashes.


falling
       at your feet.

slipping and sliding
downwards
i’m slowly drifting away
everything i thought i was
i simply no longer am
my skin is worn and leathered
slowly peeling away like scales
to reveal something new .

Fingers
three at a time
Tears rolling down cheeks
like car windows
Hands around your throat kisses
Choking out I love you’s
each time
Shaking legs
Shaky breath
the taste of lemon liquor on your tongue
you
on top of me
me
screaming into piles of pillows
that never listen
.

And you are the light of my life
yellow licks of sunlight
five year old freckles
a field of sunflowers
that we are both lost in

drowning
in
     sun
light
you engulf me

Stars, there isn’t enough stars in the sky
Rain, enough of it couldn’t fall down onto our faces
i will hold your hand and walk beside you
into the night
from now until forever

i promise

until forever
turns into tomorrow
until tomorrow dies
until I no longer cease to exist;




meteorites
look like scratches on the big chalkboard that is the sky


you are a mix of my greatest moments
moving frame by frame
like a ballerina slowly dancing into view
you are my everyday
my quiet when the world is screaming loud


And I am your home
.
