tell me about the night
that you couldn't
look at anything
but my soul
and i never
looked up
from your eyes
and i couldn't
see anything
but the shape of your smile
and the way
you rolled your eyes
and it made me feel
light
my cheeks were tired
by the time i went home
and sleep did not visit me
that night

tell me about the night
you spent with her
as if sharing a bed
meant nothing at all
you were trapped
in a haze
and i was sleeping
but you were up
at ungodly hours
with a girl
whose skin you've touched
and lips you've kissed
and hands you've felt
and you tried to be honest
but i felt the oceans churn
and my cheeks didn't hurt
they burned
that night

tell me about the night
you saw her touch me
did you want to **** her
as badly as i did?
did her embrace
light fires in your stomach?
you didn't speak a word
but you told me you loved me
and i said you were drunk
i wonder why
the full moon
drags the truth out of people
and why
i felt so afraid
that night

I OFTEN FIND MYSELF WONDERING IF YOU EVER WONDER ABOUT ME TOO AND WHETHER I'M DOING OKAY, BUT SOMETHING TELLS ME I VERY SELDOM CROSS YOUR MIND BECAUSE NOW YOU'RE WITH HER AND WHO THE HELL WOULD THINK OF ME WHILE LOOKING AT HER?

Afraid of  humiliation,
It's sour smell and taste
Reaches up to my heart
And triggers my fears,
Which lit up all at once.
What a fire.
I cannot hold this is,
The jealousy won't fit in,
The fear grabs me again by
The responsibilities.
The fire is near,
I will try to jump over it,
But I have just noticed it's heat.
Will I burn my wings ?
Will I save the day ?
Does it at all matter
If the others make it safe
Who am I to envy
The ones that aren't me
How can I crave security
Like this, dying,
Dying to wait for
Life to reach the stake !
I know I am late,
But, aware I will run, as fast
As my legs will carry me.
Taking life's chance.
Free write. The direct transcription of my emotions
I.
His hands on my skin are warm and his touch is feather light
and he moves and I inhale his voice rumbles low murmurs in my ear
that sends waves of chills down the length of my spine.
because while he says he wants to treat me gently, that voice speaks
of promises that could take me over rough and hard and fast
if he were to only stop holding back.
And when I'm lost and at my limit and let out breathless pleas,
his entire demeanor changes and I'm able to glimpse at his eyes
molten and wild and wanting that makes me quake and tremble
because he will break me down, and he will still do it gently

II.
He is not mine,
He is not mine and I feel safe in the ambiguity
I feel safe because there are no lies of love where it does not linger
He comes back because he likes to, he wants to and I could
never ask for more

III.
A desperate jealousy consumes my soul when he looks at her
When he speaks to her with that voice she doesn't know I notice
And I cover my ears when she replies in a similar tone
And I must bite my tongue and clench my fists to stop myself
From wrapping my hands around his eyes, from calling out his name,
To focus his vision back on me, to not whisper the words
    I am here
Because she has everything, her beauty, her grace, her talent, her love 
    And all I have ever had is what you have given me
Please don't let her have you too

when I see a child
walking hand-in-hand
with two parents

when I see seats
filled at a school concert
with two parents

when I see dinner
in front of my friend
with two parents

when I remember that
I am not as lucky as those
with two parents.

I just cannot believe how much I am NOT  affected by your duet with her
The room was dark and you were as handsome as ever
You sang with the most beautiful voice
You two sang Everything Has Changed
And I was totally so not affected
All I did was delete all of my Ed Sheeran songs
I deleted all of my Taylor Swift songs
And I most definitely did NOT spare your pictures with her
I was most certainly not affected
To the point that I tore your pictures with her
Covered her face with black ink
And burned all the pictures with your face

No, sir, I don't give a ****
And,
I am most certainly NOT affected
Even by just a small degree
50%* Love
                  40% Pain
                                 4% Jealousy

                              3% Hate

                          2% What The Actual ****?

                       1% Rhymes

                100% REAL
Agreed?  Opinions? Suggestions? Tell me...

My heart is weighted down
With the sorrows of a lifetime
And it's resting in your slender fingers
If it were to fall
And shatter into pieces
I wouldn't even linger with the cinders
And yet, here I am
My heavy heart in your tiny hands
Hoping this time it can last
The raging storm and stay intact
I want to slaughter all the shadows of your past
And desecrate the demons who still haunt you
I want to ****** every man across your path
And brutalize anyone who wants you
I am not okay
And I may never be
But all that seems to go away whenever you're with me
And still, here I am
My wretched heart in your lovely hands
Hoping this time it will last the raging storm
And stay intact
I am not okay
And I may never be
But all that seems to go away
Whenever you're with me
I am not a shining knight
Upon a noble steed
But I am someone who loves you
With every fiber of my being
So yes, here I am
And I hope you understand
My heart is in your hands
And that heart is all I am.
Something I wrote long ago for a girl who held my heart on her own.
