I dreamt last night
the world was on fire
and it all started
with the spark
between
me and you

I just wanted
To take a moment
To acknowledge
The structure that makes
Your soul what it is
It’s incredible
You have a heart
That is enveloped
In timeless poetry
A prose that
Could be studied for a thousand years
and something new
Could still be found
Hiding in it’s script

Laying next you  
Is like laying in a pile
Of autumn leaves
I know
I’m changing my colors
And you have made
all of the difference
In me

What do you do
When you are afraid
Of death
To the point
You’re no longer living
And afraid of life
To the point you’d rather die
Just sitting
On the edge of the world
Deciding whether to jump off
Or turn around and go play
before the sun goes down?

I think this
Is what death feels like
A never ending scream
filtered through a smile
No one can hear
Helpless
Hopeless
Silence
No one will ever know
What hides behind
These eyes

You have a heart
That is enveloped
In poetry
that can withstand the test of time
it could be studied for a thousand years
and something new
Could still be found
Hiding in its crypts

Falling in love with me
Is like making pancakes
For breakfast on a Sunday morning
It doesn’t have to be rushed
You can take the time to make me from scratch
and lick the batter off of your fingers
as you pour me into the pan
Use medium heat
Cause if you blacken my edges
I promise I won’t taste as sweet
and
If you see my anxiety
Bubbling at the surface
Allow me to turn over
I know it requires
a certain set of skills
to know if you are
letting me flip
at the right time
and you won't know until it's over
But I trust you
know what you're doing
I promise
I will stay soft
In the center
Just for you
Be patient with me
know how to work with me
And I promise
I will keep you full
All day long
