Kiss me.
I dare you.

I almost know
it wouldn't be smart,
yet I can't help
but be drawn
to your
smile.

Let me drown.
I dare you.

Let me drown
in the warmth
of your arms,
weighted down only
by knowing
what's to come.

Hold me close.
I dare you.

Make me want
nothing more
than the weight
of your body
against mine.

Don't let me go.
I beg of you.

When all I have left
is the memory of

trembling lips,

starry eyes,

beating hearts,
and
heavy breaths,

I'll wish
I dared
not to love you.

SOS
the gem around my neck
I clutch it like a life preserver
but it still can't save me
from the raging sea and storm
inside my head
I should take the **** thing off. I should also study for finals. LOL

2 am on a friday morning,
you were playing me that 90's music you said you grew up on.
we sat on the couch of your apartment and did nothing
but listen to the music while everyone else slept.
if I could go back in time and relieve one moment
it would be this one, this simple thing.
back then I wasn't tired and sad and lost.
now? I lie in bed at four in the morning like this
writing poems about how much I miss my old life
and you.

For some,
life
is simply
an experiment
to see
how many
knives
and
arrows
to the back
one person
can take
and remain
standing.
This is a low.

Maybe
someday
we'll
be
intoxicated
enough
to talk
about it.

You inspire me to write,
just not in the way you used to
Before, your heartbeat was the rhythm of my pen
Now, your memory writes the love story I can't get back

Uhh Who
all the notes in my phone are still there
from ******* about random things years ago
i cant remember what i was complaining about
just vague ideas of what i think may have happened
am i really that different from before?
or do i keep the notes there
since i've never solved anything
i've only ran away
