"It's just a dance. What are you afraid of?"
She whispers into my ear.
I look into those damning, starry night eyes,
Feel the flames lick my body where her hands lay on my back.
"I'm scared the flames will burn too harshly, or that when the fire is put out all that will remain is the rubble of a broken heart."
I think to myself.
But then she slowly spins me around,
And I feel naked under her gaze,
And I couldn't care less.
The fear of never having you is larger than the burn you will leave behind.

I should have known better than to put my trust into hands so ***** and then question how it became so tarnished

If I stop breathing,
Will the weight on my chest lift,
Because God I need some relief.

Maybe the weight will crush my sternum,
And cave into my heart,
Maybe it already has.

It’s nice to know you’re still reading my poems,
even if you can’t look me in the face.

Even though my heart still beats the hurt through my veins,
All we can do is try and try again.
The sun whispers in to my skin;
"Everything will be okay,
Today is a new day."

The words are foreign in my mouth,
They should feel like home,
Maybe I’ll be homeless forever.

Peace settles in my bones
The 5 am air kisses my skin
On a rooftop somewhere
Going nowhere
The town sleeps
And the only sign of life is the lights
Twinkling in the streets.
My arms disappear into the dark night sky
And wonder why I feel so alive
when all i want is to die.
Maybe one day I will take the fall
I hope the heavens catch me.
