when i cry at night just remember it's not because i want to die anymore

being lonely when you're not alone is a lot like being scared of the monsters under your bed in a fully lit room

this body has always felt more like a prison than a sanctuary but a life sentence beneath my skin seems less daunting since you've come around

plant yourself like a tree in my chest, root into my bones until there's nothing left dividing us

we grow up with the saying "find what you love and let it **** you" but when i told you i loved you with every drop of blood in my veins i never expected you to pull the trigger

lay me down like a quilt on your bed. unfold my legs like the linen. kiss me. kiss me like i am the black hole pulling you in and you can't fight it. kiss me like my lips are the x on the map you've been following. kiss me north. kiss me south. my legs will open like a front door, just shy of a mat welcoming you home.

whatever you do please don't leave me here standing in the winter breeze with nothing but a heart shaped hole on my sleeve
