Sext: listen to our song and feel your heart crumble in your chest

Natalie
do not date a girl
who writes.
she will internalize
everything,
carve poems
into your eyelashes
instead of
kissing them,

she will analyze you,
calculate age
from the rings
your coffee cup
leaves
instead of refilling it.

she will memorize
the way your
lips curl around steam,
but not that you
take it
two sugars,
no cream.

she will read your
palm instead of
holding it
against her chest.

she will not
blink
when you leave,
because she is
already
romanticizing it.

Do you love me
or do you love that fact that you know I'm always
there
I'm thinking it's the latter of the two
and man that really hurts

Yesterday was ******* all of
us
We almost lost you
and hell I don't know what I would've done if we
did
I realized how precious life really is
you were almost gone
in the blink of an eye
just
like
that

They always say
that the drunk words
are sober thoughts
and I guess for me and you
that is true
We say things to each other whilst
drunk
that we would never say if we were
sober
and why is it that
Is it my fault or is it yours
maybe it's both of our faults
and our fear of feeling something
that is actually real
something that's so much bigger than both of
us

If only we could take the pain
of the ones we love
and somehow put that weight
on our own shoulders
