You got me drowning in roses
But baby its okay,
I know you will kiss the wounds
That the thorns left behind.

I am no more than my flesh and bones
I am just a body
Let the vultures feed on me
Leave me to decay

i really hope the butterflies
don’t turn into moths

Even when you were pouring poison down my throat,
I wanted to believe that it was medicine,
Because it was you.

Even when my back was broken,
I would’ve carried you,
Because it was you.

Even though there wasn’t space in my heart,
I harboured you inside my chest,
And loved you.

And when my body collapsed,
and my mind was lost,
you were nowhere to be seen.

were you ever there?

You became my sunshine
during my everlasting winter
I can feel my ice thaw away
as i fall in love with you more everyday

even though you are killing me
i need you to feel alive
i loved you in all our fights
and our passionate nights
but you traded my love for the drugs you adored

and my lungs ache without you
ill hold onto you as if ill never touch you again
held together so closely that we breathe as one
and when you leave my body aches from the loss of your grip
the loss of your lips
the loss of all of it

Will you meet me by the tree
where you fell in love with me?
Will you love me as if i haven't changed?
I know my heart is heavy, my bones are broken,
my eyes are sunken, and my soul is tired
but love me as if my light never went out.
Love me as if the fire you started in me hadn't burnt through my bones.

Will you meet me by the trees
and dance with me?
We will sway with the breeze
and hold each other gently
as i caress your cheek and whisper
"you are the most magnificent thing i have ever seen"
and the winds will sing a song for us.

Or will you you look at me
and see the body i am?
A distant memory of who i was,
a shell of who i could've been.
a ghost of what we could have been.

will you even come at all?
