Lay with me on the grass
And make wishes with the moon
And when we fall asleep, our hands
Will find each other
Because they know that our heartbeats
Match.
And we will stay that way
Until the sun greets us.
But what the sun
Is not aware of,
Is that
You and me
Were made for
The rain.

when you speak,
colors drop from
your lips.
when i first met
you, my world
was so bright.
i think you
blinded me.
now all i can see
is black
and the world
isn’t beautiful
anymore

your scars cover all inches of your
body.
when i touch them
i can feel
years & years of pain
and my heart breaks
all over again.

i desperately write words
trying to convey the feeling
that tears me apart.
but i don’t think i can,
because it is not meant
to be understood.
so i will sit here
and let it break my ribs
and crush my pulse.
i will write till my fingers bleed,
and my hands shake,
and everything i thought i understood
is thrown into the wind.

When I see you,
The air is ****** out of my lungs,
And i’m choking on my tongue.
Please give me back the words you stole
So i can scream.
So i can shout all the sentences
You took from me.
Give me back my voice.
I dont want you to control me
Anymore.
But then your eyes meet mine,
And your lips smile,
And i know that i will never win.
You
Control
Me

I can feel
Your heartbeat through
My shirt.
I hate it.
The words you call me,
The sickly sweet affection
Clogs my throat
So i can no longer breath.
When you touch me,
I can feel your
Skin on mine,
And it makes me want to
Scrub and scrub
Until there is nothing left but
Bone.
You hold me so tightly,
i know i will
Suffocate
In your arms.
