hope is the thing with feathers,

and despair the autumn leaf

that believes for just a moment

that it’s flying.
falling in love is still falling
August Sep 11
My soul lay bare before you
in ****** contrapposto,
as if you carved me that way.

you turn the air to music,
and everything to art.

and even though it’s beautiful,
you remade my heart to marble.
sculptures are pretty but so unalive

I’ll stop loving you
when even the sundials
no longer tell time

my new tattoo idea:
all of your freckles

i was just enough
to fill your pockets
to make you feel
like they weren’t
empty
as for me? if i could buy another minute of your time, i would go broke tomorrow

Valentine
(In my mind
she's gonna live forever)

(She's gonna live forever
in my head)

I can't see her in the clouds
but I can hear her in the rain
I can't comprehend her corpse
but I can smell her flesh

Swords storming down from above
Pierce my hands
Pierce my eyes
Pierce my heart

But try to avoid my brain
The part in which she's wrapped around
August Sep 5
my poems are so ******?

neurotic.
