we kiss until our lips get chapped
we laugh until our eyes well up
and we can't breath
we want to do crazy things like
tell each other how we feel
and say I love you
out loud
I'll give you myself on a plate and say
eat me
and you taste  
and say
that even though
I'm not fully cooked
or smoking hot
can turn cold with time
and my meat is tough
but mostly sweet
I'm his favourite dish
dessert doesn't go to the stomach it goes to the heart
and we kiss
until our arms get heavy
our clothes fall off
and we kiss
until our lips get chapped
To the boy who made me smile inside

solitude is brimming
with waiting

a sweetness not sickly
but refreshingly freeing

is a place you find
where Earth meets Heaven

where the veil is thin
getting ever thinner.

Sit her down.
Ask her if she'd like a cup of coffee.
Eleven creams, ten sugars,
handful of ice.
Ask her how she's been,
don't listen to a word she says.

Follow her wandering gaze,
tell her you don't hate her,
say it loud enough.
Say,

"I don't hate you.
In fact,
I can't bring myself to feel anything.
Life would be better
if you just died."

Try to wipe the smile
off of your face instead
the tears of her fallen grace.
Let reality settle in,
let it hit her
that this wasn't what
she expected to hear.

Tell her how she hurt you,
rub it in. Rub it into
the bone marrow of
all her half broken bones.

"You're not worth the time,
you're not worth a single day.
You should consider
ending it all.
Save some unfortunate and
unexpected soul the trouble
you bring with your fake smile."

Let her mind wander for miles,
let it really sink in.
You never wanted anything from her, you don't see
anything in her.

"I don't hate you,
I really don't.
I just wish I never
had met you."

And you get up.
You go, you walk out the door.
You've done it to her before.
But this time,
you know she won't be
coming back around
on her ugly knees,
bothering something
that means nothing.
I don't even know. This kind of just came up and I kept going with it.

The wind is softly blowing,
In the summer afternoon,
Sitting and hoping that,    
This whole life was a dream of you.

Drinking fruity nectar from flowers,
A Bee came in my garden without my permission,
I Irritated it so it would sting my hand,
Just so i can use the pain as cure for depression.

"Write one sentence, the truest sentence that you know."-Hemingway

So I took his advice.

I wrote it on the walls of your slumber and
along the spines of my favorite days.
I painted it on windows,
we turned into doors,
and doors we turned into walls.
I wrote it on your sharp tongue
and all it's favorite places to explore,
the latitudes
and longitudes of a truth unraveled.

I will always love you.
