three thousand three hundred and thirty four miles
that's the distance that separates us
somehow it feels like so much more

it hurts to know that you could be so close
in the mere matter of a plane flight
just a few hours and then we'd be together

but it seems impossible now
between my life and yours
sometimes it seems that it might not even be worth it

i get questioned about you by friends
i never know the correct answers
because i've never seen you in person

i've never held you in my arms
i've never played with your hair
i've never had pillow fights with you

and somehow i feel like
i bring you down
and it makes me feel bad

because im nothing important
im just a terrible person
and you're you

an incredible
beautiful
great
person

and if i ever hurt you

im sorry
its late, and my head hurts, and im a mess

We
I see how the pink of your cheeks gets richer
as the corner of my lips turn curvier,
So connected we are!

I see how the void chambers of your heart are filled
as I erupt into pieces that fit,
So complete we are!

I see how the bruises on your soul leave
as I pour my blood on it
So healed we are!

I want you to break my heart.
Whisper softly into my ear,
There is no us.

There will never be an us.

*you might be one of us
I repeat, not Poetry.

We are all the same buildings
But with different foundations
Variety of colorful and bleak paints
And the mismatched furnitures inside us
That make us look -complete otherwise
Humans are just complex creatures.

An old face, happy to see.
Years go by, never a thought.
Could we really belong?

Leave the lights off,

and chase the moon

for the sun will come

way too ******* soon,

just lie down with me,

let us pass the time

just as will time

pass us by.

Now we're older
yet still unsober
and those sacred
days are over
that we used to
spend alone or
just trying to
find a lover
to share the
night with
under covers
far too tangled
and disordered,
but now the nights
are so much shorter
because we are
getting older
each and
every
day

as you fall into the darkness
the depravity
would you mind touching my hand?

i would like to feel the stiffness
of darkness itself
from your cold hands.

but why won't you touch me?
dance your fingers around my body
and touch them wherever you want
i want it all
the cold and its humidity
the winter and your icy fingers


why won't you touch me?
i still see the fire in your eyes
burning with passion and lust
but why won't you touch me?
do it with grace
i want to taste the fire
and the ice
both of them aroused me
alluring me to this place
where darkness surrounds
and light fails to hold its ground.

i succumbed into
your mesmering eyes
now touch me
and feel the world pulverize.
i can almost imagine this vividly in my mind.

i love you

(
more than the sun could ever burn for someone.)

i love you

(
more than the skies could cry for anyone)

i love you

(
more than the seas could ever be most chaotic, or even safe and sound.)

i love you*

(more than any lost souls
that Death could rip until it's dawn.
)

i love you

(i'm begging you, now please
don't let me down.*)
i love you and the hidden depths behind it.
