There is a small scar
To the right of your bottom lip
A faint white line
Begging to be kissed

Savannah Charlish May 2017

I go to the place I took you on our first date
I walk up the steps and hold the door open for myself
I sit down at a table for two but the other seat is never filled
I order the dessert we always shared and leave half untouched
I pay for myself
I walked past the park we laid in the night I realized I loved you
I get in the car and drive home in silence
I crawl into bed and fall asleep,
Alone

You were mine once
That is all I need to know

I Will Always Be Too Much for Men like You

I think she fits you better than I did.
You needed a girl who was small enough to fit into the side of your chest and sensible enough to match your comfortable life.

You might say I was too much. But all I know is you were not enough.

We Both Changed. Only One of Us for the Better.

It's a really sad thought
To see you as you are now
And know that if we were two strangers meeting
We wouldn't like each other very much

But I suppose you are a stranger now
And all the love once here is gone

To My Body

Oh my love
I am so sorry for how they treat you
I promise to protect you
To love you
To take care of you

I will keep you safe from greedy hands
I will stop their fingers from leaving undeserved marks on your precious skin
I will hold you in my own warmth and adoration because men have only left you cold

I'm Almost Done with Always Being You're Almost

I think we almost kissed
I think we almost touched too good
I think we almost got too close to the thing we spend our time pretending isn't there

I think we're almost out of almost's

We've Never Been Good with Timing

You and I
Are like
The moon and the sun
We circle in the same atmosphere
Loving the same sphere of life
Yet we never intersect

We are in an enternal rotation that forbids our love and yet we are legends to everyone around us

You shine so bright it's almost blinding but anyone who gets too close, burns
I captivate people with mystery and intrigue and soul but carry untold stories no one on earth could bear to hold

But then there is the rare moment
A brief second where we give into the gravitational pull between our bodies
And the eclipse of our love is something even the galaxies are jealous of
