i long for space to fold in on itself
with perfect origami creases
to bring me to lay pressed and flat
next to you,
and what a beautiful intricate shape we could make
with our collapsed space,
learning to fold a home from disparate places.
The thought of you happy with someone else still makes me smile
I will be happy with or without your arms wrapped around me
So if we fall apart and I see you with someone new
I will not shed a tear
I will be that you're happy
I will stay strong for you and your happiness that is the love I have for you
With or without your arms holding me
so don't worry about me if we fall apart.
I gave myself a tattoo,
Just a couple of small red lines,
And I know I shouldnt draw them but,
It’s my own little secret design.
I don't want my tears
to ever fall
for
nothing.
there's a letter I wrote you with no address
in a box beneath my bed
and this isn't a metaphor for the time I spent waiting for you
there's scattered words in my head
playing like a broken record
a collage of tired clichés
holding just enough truth to echo the memories of you
there's nails on my fingers bitten to the brim for every time your name's been in my mouth
and I've tried to wash it down
but something about the wiring in my brain
has fooled me into believing my excess of love
will make up for your lack there of
