It was all dark skies and twilight and
rare glimpses and wondrous sunlight
peeking behind lurking rain clouds and
I let you take my hand the night that

Jacob died and you led me to places I
would have avoided, glass sheared my feet
but you smiled so sweetly and it emptied
that void for a little while. And you said

such terrible things about falling so
I bricked up my mouth. But I wonder
after I departed, irrevocably wordless,
if you stole that void for your own.

"Stars"

I don't care,
I would change,
In the stars
Just for you,
Let's be sure,
Skies are blue,
Just enough to say your name,
Mary sue,
No issue,
Like hello,
How are you,
I see you,
I love you,
Everything we do,
Is cosmical.

"Proper Burial"

Wouldn't cross my mind,
I saw you fall out of the sky,
Crash landed,
Deep in the earth and,
I though you died,
You had a properly set burial,
We can almost see just what you're like,
I nearly cried,
I.

"Hurry"

I want you to hurry,
(I'll wait for you),
You don't want me to worry,
(I'll wait for you),
I can tell you my story,
(I'll wait for you),
Just looking for sympathy,
I see you now.

"To Close"

You're making me nervous,
Too close for comfort,
Do you ever wonder,
How much did you put in the effort,
Just To make it stronger,
Strong enough walls,
To get through the hunger,
Too close for comfort,
Unless your really comfortable,
Or you feel numb - er,
Guess your the only one out of us,
With make-up pasted sunburns,
But it was our go,
Its your turn.

"Proper Burial 2"

Looking so peaceful,
And peacefully crafted,
I could've loved your bits and pieces,
Of cut chicken in ceaser salads,
But I just thought that you would see,
My worth,
And for what its worth,
Just to see you rise from the dirt,
Passion fades,
But loves a curse,
And everything you did,
Was so supurb,
Like flavor in herbs,

But I'm just really glad you saw the concept,
In the sky and the stars,
But others are deceased,
This ain't a contest,
Monkey bars.

"~i would change for you~"

...and everything you do,
I would never lose,
Baby its just us two,
I would change for you.

"Stars 2"

I don't care,
I would change,
In the stars
Just for you,
Let's be sure,
Skies are blue,
Just enough to say your name,
Mary sue,
No issue,
Like hello,
How are you,
I see you,
I love you,
Everything we do,
Is cosmical,
Because I would change for you,
Mary sue.
I love this ❤❤❤

Vocal silence
Does for an
Argument make.
You hide behind your belligerence;
With mortar of icy rage and
Stones of cold indifference,
Laid with trowels of denial,
Lobbing nothing wrong
Like fury-fueled firebombs
Then you run a mile.

It's not a war,
It's a conflict.
I'm hunting through a jungle
Of stone-walled edicts,
My defensive guns laying ammo
On metaphorical trees
Guilty of hiding the dead.
A bunker deep enemy,
Safe in their concrete head.

Hunting a deserter
Who spent a lifetime
Learning camouflage techniques,
Sulking under cover,
Lining up their gently angry shot
For when the cross-hairs meet.

I would call you out,
But you would only go in.
It's like fighting a shadow,
My silent twin;
Naturally nurtured
To hide behind benevolence
And fight a cold war.

I warn you, it's growing thin.

Hazel eyes decorated by light lashes,
Your soul burrowed within,
I glance at passive eyes,
Afraid of what I cannot find,
I brush your lashes with *******,
So I may see you,
I brush your eyes with quivering lips,
So I may kiss your soul,
But you remain distant.

I want to reach you,
To see your soul for its entirety,
But I cannot excite your stoic eyes,
So I decide to remove my gaze,
From your hazel irises.

yellow

i will lead you
where you wish
to go
and you can
step
all over me

Face it,
I'm a follow up.
To use all this time and quickly cast aside?
Honey, I'm not so simple to avoid.
I'll make sure
to close up for you one day.
Ever wondered what the silent e in your life was thinking?

Because by then,
I would have known
how the words I spat at them
would seep through their ears
and down their spinal cord
and somehow, eventually
reach their heart
where its poison would slowly **** them

Because by then,
I would have known
how much they try
even if
they have had ***
they did not believe in god
they lost hope in humanity
they were not democrats

Because by then,
I would have known
how it takes every ******* muscle in their tired bodies
to not bring out a gun in a room full of people
they saw at school every day
or how they would rather
let their anxiety or depression
take them away

Because by then,
I would have known
how I was not the only one working
or trying to love
when the reason they had lost all hope
in that meaningless world
in the first place
was me

Because by then,
I would have known
that I cannot
expect somebody
to love me
when I myself am
unable to love
them

These days
I am too cold
My palms are at rest
Down for the long winter
My coordination and
dexterity will hibernate
And I'll cloak this poor body
With anything I can

An almost married woman
Clings to the hems of my sleeves
With thin fingers
With scissors
There to cut away the warm wool
With wild eyes
and a bitter mouth

She gathers my coat in a basket
Unravels all the careworn fibers
To cast upon her empty loom
As though she'd spun them

Casts off newly sewn kisses
Threadbare affection
Muttering crossly about the weather
And how the sun
does not melt the snow

She is only my friend when
She can touch my bare wrists
Give me white hot iron to hold
And ask me if I'm warmer

Only my friend when
She can graze my skin in surprise
Wrap my hands up with stiff yarn
And ask me what burned them

I am my tears.
And i am my sweat
I am my pain and i am my regret

But i'm also the choice to say no to it all
To the hurt you have caused me and the choice not to fall.
Because had i had known you would treat me like this,
disgusted and guilty but worthy to kiss,
i would never have touched you or spoken your name,
sat by the fire and feel your love flame,
because you are a simple man
and you have simple desires,
you want what you don't have

and will do all that requires,

and once you have reached that.

The goal that you seek,


you look on to the next thing that looks bright and unique.
breakup, alone, he was being a *****,
