with my arms outstretched,
like elephant trunks...

you know my heart is open
like flowered gates...

you know you're my introduction,
like the first chapter of your favorite book..

a shot through the lung
a shot through the heart
and several shattered ribs
...
that's what being in love with you feels like.

I'm in doubt of everyone
and everything
Just lie for me
because I'm slipping through
You know what I mean

Uncontrollable thoughts
make me feel diseased
I don't have what it takes

I wear a crown of Dahlias
to bring life to my life
Yeah, you lied to me
and you act as if you don't know
what I mean

negative thoughts are
an ill vicious cycle
it's polluted thinking

I call myself sunny, I've gone that
far, just so you can have positive
thoughts about me

I lied, I can't keep myself safe
because you know my dreams
keep going, and they're going fast
they go to great lengths
I'm dragging on.

We are significantly insignificant.
when the time came to say goodbye,
I folded you up like a paper crane
and pushed you out to the Horizon

collision kisses
I guess meant nothing more
than littered trash on
San Francisco streets.

me.
my body is the ocean
my organs are sinking ships

black petals descend
like raining meteors

the scent of fresh sadness
the sight of unbearable pain

I'll drowned in my sleep
to avoid the next day.
Amelia Delgado May 2020
perils make me drool, hot like fire
sheets clenched
I'll devour you, sweet like peaches
hair never looked so good dangling
from the edge of the bed
