Feeling what I feel is painful,
The confusion,
The pain
Always annoyed.
The future ... The future ...
Eco
I am the replication of myself.
Who pulls the strings? Stop!
Who controls the heads,the voices?
Am I the underground one or the other?
The one that range in silence, or the one that you hear?
One is mine. The other belongs to whom? Yours?
Is the half missing, your half?
My better half, yours?
Half me, half you?
Half?
Wait. What are you doing? Wait!
Half afraid to be half yours.
Half fear, half me. Half?
I'm always unbroken in what i do
How can i be divided?
Why should I bring my entire soul to be half?
I might as well be completely me than half yours, right?
What are you doing?
Wait.

the moment i saw you,
i knew all rules
had to be broken,
just so you can be **mine.

my smeared eyelids
from my black eyeliner,
are slowly closing and dropping,
all because i want to live in
a dream, in a world,
where you are mine,
and i am yours.

There will come a time where our inked words will eventually be etched across the doggy-eared, creased but never broken edges of our white hearts painted red.
It's the magic wisped within the silence of letters
that can truly make us a little more impervious.

A little bundle of warmth on cold, sleepless nights.

And you know, what is the best part, sweet-heart?
In the same way, the best part of sliced bread is the very middle,
warm duvet over your sleepy eyelids,
the kind of smile that "introduces you to yourself for the first time."
Or, the very fact, quotes peek-a-boo through my words. They live time after time. Through lips to another.
To one lovely soul and the next.

Those little breaths you take that feels like mint tooth-paste.

The best part is that those words are yours.
Every stroke, the deft indentations across the page,
oh, pages. (Yes, I do know you pen words at 2am then at 4 again.)

So many inexplicable things get snatched from our outstretched fingertips. Some willingly, some that we had to swallow silent good-byes.

It's ok-ay though.

These words, the ones dotting the back of your hand or the scribbles at the back of pages.
They all have your name etched & those creased memories tied like  dainty ribbons upon them.
It is entirely and utterly  
yours.
Yours in this starry universe.
Hello there sunshine!
How are you doing today?
It is so cold here in Melbourne, my hands are absolutely freezing.
Good morning/Afternoon lovely/ Good night & Sweet dreams where-ever you are!

If I were yours
I would have to stay awake
Until six in the morning
Wondering where you are

If I were yours
I would have to pretend to be asleep
When you finally got in
Stumbling
And stained with smoke
Perfume
And bruises

If I were yours
I would wear your favourite colour
And the clothes you like
And the perfume
That makes you
Lose your mind

If I were yours
I would let you full my ears
With your honesty
And your lies
Discerning the two
Pretending I don't
Until you were at ease

If I were yours
I would do
What ever you asked
Reading your eyes
Right and wrong
Aren't black
And white
Anymore
But grey

If I were yours
You would have me
Every night
Whichever way
You like me best

If I were yours
My words would
Just be for you
And the only lines
Leaking from my fingertips
Would be love poetry
About you

If I were yours
I would listen to all of your music
Even though I would hate it
(I don't like songs
That rhyme
Too often
And
Too much)

If I were yours
I would forget how the rain
Feels on my skin
Because you would tell me
To stay indoors
And my love
For the sky
Would slip away
Until I would call your eyes
The sky
And the rest of you the ocean

If I were yours
I would forget me
And you would forget me
I would become
Your perfection
Encased in the mirror
Behind the door
The one you dream of
Standing beside you

And you still
Wouldn't only be
Mine

How many times
Do I have to tell you?

Angry
His eyes black
Like the ocean
Turned into ink

Words
Low
And measured
The type of tone
That makes me want to run

You are mine

You are wrong

Pale blue
Like the rain
In spring

Words
Soft
And low
Shakespeare
Says
It's an excellent thing
In a woman

I wish
Everyday
That he wasn't wrong
But he is
And so are you

I love you too much
To be yours

i am crying again,
because of him,
because he looks so
perfect in every picture he
takes and in every sunlight
that shines over him.
i am crying again,
because i know he will
never be mine,
and i want him so badly.
i am crying again,
because i promised myself
that i will not fall for him
again. i guess,
i broke my promise.
i am crying again,
because it takes every cell
and fiber in my body,
not to go to the ***** bathroom,
cry it all out and make new scars,
because i am going to the doctor's
in the morning,
and i cannot afford my mom‘s
stupid lectures.
i am crying again,
because i love him too much,
and because i know he will
find the perfect girl someday,
but she won't ever love him
the way that i do.
i am crying again,
because i will never be
yours, g.
and i want to,
so much.
i am crying again,
laying in bed,
looking at your pictures
in my phone,
and i am crying again,
because i will never
feel your lips on mine,
ever.
