I want to warm my hands in you,
the soft merrigold folds of your
buttercream skin.
Lay in the crook your shoulder,
hiding my face deep in the smell
of ocean breezes and mist,
spraying up around me,
setting me free.
Trace my spine like the highway,
hitting every bump in the road,
sliding off the side once in awhile
to skirt down the ***** if my side;
tuck your knees to your chin,
like you do,
like you are.
How when I think of you,
I think of the cosmos,
and nebulas,
and star filled spaces
All clustering like broken glass.
Because that's what you are,
you are broken glass.
See through in most places,
Tiny splinters here and there,
so you can
Still see through,
see your reflection,
But when the glare hit just right,
you are inpenetrable,
no ones eyes able to look for long.
I wonder what you think of when you
think of me?
Do you think of wind?
Always around you,
touching inch of your skin,
setting you free,
or setting against you,
heavy.
Or do you think of somethin else?
Something worse?
Something,
like invisibility maybe?
Can you really see me?
Cause I don't think you can.
Not with the way you treat me.
Pretending I exist only half the time.
You let me do things for you,
put myself out there..
And then I get excited about something ,
or maybe I need you.
And you jut sit there,
and pretend I don't exist.
And it feels like my lungs have been cut out.
But it's okay,
what's the point of breathing anyways?
When the life is knocked of you,
again,
and again.
I miss you like the dawn.
Grey streaked horizons,
clumsily reaching for covers,
wrapped up in warmth.
I miss you like the moon.
Dying every night,
so that the sun may love
come morning.
I miss you like the trees.
Leaves dropping in autumn,
so beautiful and yet,
everything is dead.
I miss you like the cold.
Christmas lights,
and holiday joy.
So cold you can feel it in your bones,
like there is nothing else.
I miss you like the stars.
Fading with the new light,
yet always there,
watching.
And most importantly,
I miss you like the wind.
Always around me,
but I can't touch you,
or capture you in my hands.
Always there,
but impossible,
you are.
i'm used to it.*
I say.
Because I am.
And it's okay.
It's okay you didn't love me,
like you promised that you would.
It's okay you didn't love me,
I completely understood.
And it's okay that we are distanced..
I knew that this would come.
But best friend,
don't forget,
that you're my only one.

"I've come here as a man in shambles—worn out from begging on my knees.
Please, I'm just trying to keep my family together.
Now, when you saw you're lover wore a ring around her finger, why didn't you stop?

I have half a mind to make you hurt, to make you bleed, to make you suffer.
I swear, if you've touched her—, oh, heaven,
Forgive what I would do to you, you monster.
And think about your children?
They'll never believe what you've done.

Listen, I'm begging you, back off.
Let me rebuild all the things that you shattered.

She meant it, I swear that she meant it, she whispered so often,
'Husband, I'll always be here with you.'

But always is always and always is valueless.
I wish I'd never heard her speak a word.

And I hope you see us—;
your wife, and your children, and I,
Buried in the wreckage of your crime,
While you're laying down your sins,
Softly leaning in to kiss your guilt goodnight.

She is mine. You stole her, somehow tricked her but we'll survive. We will. She loves me dearly—, you'll see. You are blind. She loves me dearly.

Breathe in.

He finally paused to take a breath
Then looked down—. It felt like staring into hell.
The man was seated in a chair before him, silent,
A statue framed in pain and flesh. He thought,
"Oh, what more can I say to sway him? To make this statue speak?
I swear he's made of stone and I am barely stirring up a breeze."


And after waiting in the silence,
Finally turned around to leave.
Broken and barely through the doorway,
Breathing slowly, beating hard, he heard him speak:

**"I guess love's a funny thing—the way it fades away without a warning.
It doesn't ask to be excused.
And when it's gone—oh, it's gone—and it ain't ever comin' back.

There is nothing you can do to save it,
To make it breathe the way it did when you were sliding on the ring.
Trust me: It's gone for good.

Now there is nothing you can do to stop me.
She is happy when she is with me and I am finally alive. I'm sorry."
Sometimes,
my best friend
tries to tell me a joke
that
I
already
know the punch line to.
And instead of
saying the answer,
I ask what?
And let her tell me
and I laugh
just as hard
as the first time I heard it.
And that..
Well,
I think that is love.
You woke me with kisses.
And to bed,

with    
lies..
I think we're all flowers.
Some of us are pretty,
some of us resemble more of a ****.
And the weeds envy the roses because they're so beautiful
and the roses envy the weeds because they can grow wherever they please.
But no matter if you're a rose or a dandelion..
We all get trampled on by somebody.
