my glass puzzle is coming together
I can't help but want to get it over
But this isn't something that can rushed
My hands are already bleeding from all this being forced

The pieces of the pieces have pieces
Oh no, I've still got a long way to go
we have to know the lesson life has to teach us
For now, I'm at a steady pace, and I'm trying not to let go

Another word thrown around.
You never know crazy until you watch
Someone you love fall off the deep end
Or when you go too.

Crazy.  Is so romanticized these days
But I can't claim the word.
It stings and pierces my skin.
I can't help but think back to those nights...

It's okay, it's all fun and games to them
And another laugh

My fingertips traced over hip bones
Around in circles right back to my own
I couldn't figure out why I kept coming back to me
each day spent in attempt to break yesterday's pattern left

The nights were spent running down brick roads
Climbing buildings with barbwire on ladders
And by 3 AM I was half naked in the kitchen, completely breathless.

For the past four years you've been on my mind everyday
"Can you believe how beautiful the stars look tonight?" He's so warm, his hands shake.
but this love is misplaced
I never needed you to fall in love,
I only needed myself

Sometimes a good thing has to be let go,
I'm afraid if I do, I'll fall below
It's hard to believe better things are gonna show
After living through hell & way down low

Heavy eyes, white knuckles
Passing scents, leaving behind vanilla and honey suckle
I'm not where I'm supposed to end up
So if I fall while I'll climbing, maybe it's all in good luck

Better things to come, better me
Now I have to try to leave.

Your skin
Could use lotion.
What

That the universe will snap in two
The explosion of the sun is going to set us on fire
And the sky will take a different hue
Our atmosphere destroy the innocent and the liar
But for now all that I want and all that I need,
Is your breath against my neck
and your arms around me
it's ok Sep 2016
Stay up for a good few hours just to talk
Smoke cigarettes and wonder if you even remember me the next day
Or am I like that girl in your phone that sent you a text
And you closed your eyes and tried your best
But nothing came to you.
Is this all the same to you?
Either way, your past didn't give you depth.
its way too easy for me to forget you.
