The night I stayed at your house it stormed
My heart was beating so fast
I couldn't tell it apart from thunder

Your mother hates the way I look at you
She thinks I'm a dumb girl who just wants to hold your hand
I want to mail her letters telling her:

I can hold your daughter tighter than anyone else
And she holds me so tightly my ribs crack
I can't look at the stars without seeing her
She is more than everything to me
I fall asleep dreaming of my lips on her cheek
Do not ******* tell me
*She needs the love of a man

You may be the warmest person I know but
I still shiver when you touch me
You have been on my mind every day & night since I met you
My love for you is a explosive red hot bursting flame
Sometimes I feel like yours nothing but a candle
I think I was blind before I knew you but now you're all I see
Maybe I could sleep at night if we had never met

I smelled a sweet smell a couple days ago. It made me think of you.
I watched a movie yesterday. It made me think of you.
I heard a song last night. It made me think of you.
I saw a man do this thing this morning. It made me think of you.
I saw this sign this afternoon. It made me think of you.
I passed by a store an hour ago. It made me think of you.
I took a breath a moment ago. It made me think of you.
Everything makes me think of you.
I think of you.

The power went out on the day you left me
I sliced my wrists in the darkness
The towel absorbed my intoxicated blood
I screamed into my pillow all night
I screamed inside my car the next morning

My clock is still flashing from that power outage
My voice is still hoarse and my throat is still raw
I kissed her yesterday but thought of you
I'm sure she could only taste your  name

I don't want this to break
I haven't learned to let go of things gently yet
You always said you wanted smooth sailing
But you called me a tsunami
Your messages collect like dust in my phone
I will not get rid of them

I wish the hickeys you gave me would stay and turn permanent
Constant reminders of you
Scratching my teeth when you kiss me, my throat bleeds when i kiss you back
I wonder if you can taste it
My heart shatters and crumbles when I moan into your ear
You won't pick up the pieces
Instead you'll share ***** and watch me hold my feelings inside
Drunk or sober you call me beautiful
Drunk or sober I'll cling to the hope you might love me back
