Drowning in your eyes
Wild and blue like the ocean
Tossing about in their storm
Is the most poetic way
That I've ever died.
Layla Thurman Oct 2014
You're sweet like cotton
candy
I love the way you melt in my
mouth.

The devil looks familiar
When I pass him in the streets
Something about his hair and eyes
reminds myself of me
Or you perhaps.
His face is never clear
Always changing.
But the devil is always
Familiar to me
Perhaps because
I am so familiar with him

I'm tired of living
In a *** filled haze
Bottles of *****
to count the days
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
Here I am cornered
Unable to lie
I cant say I don't want it
Because you know I do
Ill take another draw
Off this cigarette, then you.

I fell in love with your words
And the way you described me
I fell in love with the way
You were able to detail everything
I fell in love with the reasons
That you broke my heart in
Beautiful
Little
Pieces

There's something different
About your eyes
Their pale color
Gives you a strange appearance
A look described as depth
Something solemn
Pale eyes
That seem to know
To understand
Everything
The oddest part about your eyes
Isn't that they're blue
But the appearance they give you
And I wonder
If when I look in the mirror
At my own eyes so pale
If I too look solemn and deep
If I have that same knowing
That same understanding look
The same haunting expression
That you do.

The way
I'll always remember you
Is the way you look
when sleeping
Your gentle face
with the softness of your cheek
Cupped beneath my hand
Your breathing soft and deep
So relaxed
You look much younger
Your curly hair
Featherlike against your pillow
Your body
feels warm next to mine
When your like this
I see how gentle
How vulnerable
You can really be
It helps to remind me
Of why it is
I love you
