wrote about a girl
but fell for her so i just
kept her in my mind

Give me all your pain,
your faults, your anger. I'll keep
them like they're my own

She hated living
alone she filled the closets
with her skeletons

Crammed years into nights,
Spoke of lives lived in between,
Like crimes to confess.

Our faults lined up like constellations
Shown alight on the midnight sky
We marvelled at them lovingly, in silence
From your bed and mine

Our sins kept us warm like the morning sun
Keeping life within our reach
They awakened our hearts, killed our darkness,
Kept our resolves breached

Our love polluted our hearts with selfishness
Planted resentment in our minds
And now we hate for never finding
Where each other chose to hide

kept drinking hoping
to find the "i love you too"
after the last shot

Live for mornings
The lazy ones that help you forget
and warm ones that make you remember
Get up!
Find the beauty the night died for

i know you're scared
but let's not worry about our love. instead,
give it the freedom to flourish, the space to be wounded, to collect scars

let us fight the fear of losing sight of it
as it runs through the field of our rights and wrongs
as it swims through the sea of our secrets
as it crawls through the crevices within our pleasures and pains
as it flies high with our spirits in every shared glance
as it walks barefoot through our fights and poorly-chosen words
as it grows old with our bodies, wise with our minds
it will roar and glow eternal through our storms

as each day ends, we should let our love sleep
give it sweet time and hope it dreams of us all night
let's keep the silence
baby, find the stillness in your mind and know
that when morning breaks and the sky awakes
we're gonna wake up to its smile

her presence was rough
and it left a splinter that
i could not pull out

Baby steal my time
Spend it carelessly
Only you can turn it into gold

Make it fast, slow
Turn it back, if you desire
It is nothing when it is not yours

But now i can't tell
if you're just my type, or if
the "type" just means you.

I’m trying
Believe me
I am

But these things, they leak

They leak like the sunlight
through the gaps on my walls
and I can’t help but keep waking up to your warmth
and loving every moment of it

she said we had to
go and call it a night but
i didn't want to

Always,
I wake up alone in bed to the sound of her,
preparing our breakfast.

Always,
I wonder how is she able to pull herself away from sleep,
from the bed, and from me?  

Always,
I get tempted to ask: how come you still love me,
even after everything?

But then, I learn:
That instead of asking for the reason,
I should be proving myself worthy
Always.
