I do not want to be held Not because I hate proximity I want it more than you think But I need to be held Tightly And you will only give me A gentle squeeze A polite embrace And a quick release You will not hold me together So I'd rather not be held at all

'Use me'
I know what i have I'm aware it should feel like the moon and stars were hung. Just for me. By her. That doesn't stop my heart from wanting more. My brain, my sanity, my focus They've been tied to my heart's hip as it runs Head first into the cyclone The cyclone of wanting more You can't see it And I want to tell you I want to look into your diamond eyes as I say, "Can you hold me a little longer? Please?"

Longing.
It seems like lately Its all been pain and frustration And I realized That I go to counseling And I'm told about how toxic All of my relationships are And I realize That I don't know who to love anymore And I just don't know If it's worth it to me To rid myself of poison foods If it means I'll have to starve.

That Don't Make It Easy
I envy the rain, for it can touch your pretty face, trace your lips, and rest upon your skin ever so gently, while I was never allowed to touch you as intimately as it does.

Rain
i think i exist only to love but never experience, a pretentious bag of bones like me will only stir your feelings —you will wallow in it for some time and then you will forget about me like a cup of coffee that has gone cold. but if i must admit, it's because i do stunt my own growth: in life, in love, but strangely enough, not in death. an odd number of reasons aid my tendencies; they get glued together to form a paper-maché of well-composed farewells —a craft i have mastered in my years of longing. i think i exist only to love, but never experience— yet here i am, still longing until i get a hand to hold.
