spilled tears
draw me naked
Mar 9
Unpolished Ink
spilled tears
draw me naked
Once you drew me naked,
And I did not recognize the man,
A stranger in my skin,
I couldn’t trace where I began.
I know you have the picture
Tucked between your pages
I know I have your heart
Tucked between my teeth

Caits
It’s the Paint
if I take anything
to my grave
whether it be shallow
or deep
let it be
that I was loved
the way I asked to be loved
I have not stopped repeating that in my head since first hearing it on ‘The Last of Us’

Dead-end
It turned too messy to amend.
I gained no love, but lost a friend.

Nemusa
he's always around
He eats at my soul with a lover's slow hand,
Each bite a hymn, each wound carefully planned.
His silence, a gospel, his shadow a prayer,
I light every candle, but he's always there.
A feast in the dark where no one can stand.

Carved
I carved her name upon the dawn
So every morning might be with her
But as it rose It grew too bright
And closed my eyes
Yet still I saw her there
I carved her name upon the sky
To keep her near me every day
But nightfall came and cleared the light
And all was dark
Yet still I saw her there
I carved her name upon the moon
To stare at her throughout my nights
But tired eyes are sneaky foes
And sleep prevailed
Yet still I saw her there
I carved her name upon my soul
Love not just with me when I look
But every day and every night
And in my heart
Yet still I saw her there
