Faces nearly touching
Bodies too close

Cheeks redden
Heart races

Butterflies dance
Mind scrambled

Now lips are touching
Bodies intertwined

we deleted our tinders as a way to say we like each other
i watched as you held the shaking square and it bounced
side to side trying to avoid being killed
and then you pressed the little x with your finger
and you put the same finger inside me not five minutes later

nothing has to mean anything if you don’t want it to
but i want it to and i’d tell you as much but i’m scared you’d listen
you want me to meet your parents and i’m already ******* up
in my head because i don’t make a good first impression
too quiet
too quiet
too quiet

if there was something before this i have forgotten it
because all i can think about is your hand on my back
you broke my glasses again and you were so upset
but as long as i can see you it’ll be okay
when you cook spaghetti for me in your little kitchen
it makes my heart hurt
but in a good way

Try as i may,
Beneath the ground was where i stayed.
I was a fool, i gave up colour for gray,
Eternal pain and suffering, that was my price to pay.

But as i felt helpless, the world fading from sight,
I saw the most beautiful light.
Could this be? my escape from this plight?
To escape from the gray, to be bathed in white?

With nothing but escape in mind,
I rushed towards it, hoping to rejoin mankind.
And as i approached it, the brightness made me blind,
But i could feel it, i was no longer confined.

A second chance, was what i had received,
A free man once more, i no longer had to grieve.
And as i walked, i look at what i had achieved,
I had escaped the gray, and for that i was relieved.

But as i walked, i realized something was awry,
I was no longer a man, but a soul in the sky.
I knew i was still dead, and for that i cried,
Even though it was my choice to die.
