I have poison in my veins
I am dark matter
I have shadows in the curves of my collarbones
switch blades tucked into my hips

I am venomous
I am a viper
a black widow

and I am so, so sorry, my darling
that you are the only one that I strike

Anatomy

I hope
(with a fire that consumes my kindling of bones)
that the first thing to strike you
when you run your hand down my back
is not the stretching of my rib cage as it settles around my lungs.
I hope you are lit,
with a ******* wildfire,
when your fingertips alight upon my skin.

Missing

I have created a yellow house
(with open windows and white curtains)
It is always summer here.
It is always sunny here.
Bruce Springsteen plays in my barefoot kitchen
and I have breakfast and tea for three meals a day.
It is always summer here.
I am never lonely here.
There are no fire escapes, winter winds or clocks.
I have created a yellow house.
Created it years ago.
I have nothing.
I have everything.

You're so welcoming
You're here for anyone, with open arms
You love all of the people around you.
Yet, when you open your arms in your
Short sleeve knit
I see scars
Scars all up and down your arms
Some old
Some new
And it makes me see
Someone so beautiful
That makes everyone else
Feel so beautiful
And loved
Can feel so worthless and unloved
And I see now.
I see why you are the way you are,
           You're so welcoming
                 To everyone
  Because no one ever was to you.

I knew you were looking

you know what I think? I think sleep is for people who aren't up all hours of the endless night spending each second whole heartedly loving someone. I think 2 a.m was invented for poets writing poems upon poems about the curvature of his jawline or how her lips taste like stardust and sunshine because one never seems to be enough and do beauty the justice that true love demands. how could you possibly sleep knowing you're wasting minutes and moments and hours spent being subconsciously elsewhere while her hands are empty and he's out there somewhere whispering to the moon and the stars and Jupiter and whoever else is willing to listen about how beautiful you are when you don't think anyone is looking? I once had an entire conversation with the sun about your laughter and the calluses on your palms and the very next night I found myself screaming your name at the sky demanding answers from a solar system that only offered even more questions. the north star swallowed my memories of my head on your chest and your heart beat in my ear and now all I'm left with are smudged letters and holes in the walls a little too big to fit my fists. I want to kick the door of history clear off it's hinges and choke on splinters of pride and apologies. I want to tell you that I intend to fill every single empty part of your heart with my hands and your hands with my soul. you told me I was beautiful. I always knew you were looking.

A List of Reasons of Why I Think I Need You

The force that propels lightening and hail to the ground is the same force that sends me crashing into your arms at the end of my thundering days

I am "tell me you love me" at 3 am
I am "go **** yourself" at 4 am
I am
*** on the kitchen counter when the bedroom is two steps away
holding your head to my chest when you don't want to go to work in the morning
I am
"please stop lying"
perpetually running
baking a pie and kissing you with sugared lips in the kitchen
I am
driving when I shouldn't be
screaming the lyrics to every song
smoking on the roof in a little beach town
I am
an early morning jog
a midnight sprint
hot tea when I feel ill
blankets on the floor
"come lay down with me"
I am
checking my pulse
putting the razor down
heart beating
I am, I am, I am
