#sweetnothing
you whispered to me - words only i could hear. we were so close.. wrapped in eachothers arms. you kissed my cheek, then my head, and sent me on my way to escape a dream i didn't even know i was in - because it felt so real.

escape
Your lips tasted like sweet nothings They'd slip from my lips and you'd consume that sweetness Leaving me with the taste of bitter Nothing

Sweet Nothings
There are so many words that struggle silently on the mind, too scared to become sound waves so they’re strangled somewhere between thoughts and windpipe. I want to ask so much from you but asking too much from people Is how you make them scatter and run an evasive pattern fastest from you Because no favors are free. Sweet nothings are all I want to hear from you, Like the ones you used to whisper to me when you still felt challenged, When you were trying to win me. Well win me again, because I think you’re losing me somewhere. I can’t stomach this feeling of being somewhere on your priorities list, Wedged between the laundry and the dishes.

To Do List
I could fall asleep on his shoulder but I wouldn't want to miss hearing him whisper sweet nothings into my ear. I could hold onto his hands forever but I fear our sweat will turn into oceans and drown him. I could hug him forever but I wouldn't want to break the very ribs that protect his heart from getting hurt. I haven't kissed him yet for fear that I won't stop until our lips hurt So many things to fear in this world but I only fear for his safety
