can you see me?
i think you may be the only one ever made who has the faintest idea what i am saying
when i say nothing at all
i think you might be the only person to have looked at me long enough
to hear all that my heart cries out
when my mouth cant begin to form the words
fallen angel
if being here with you means i will end up in hell,
i will fall down in death with open arms
and i will tell the devil about the colors in your eyes
and how you looked at me those nights that sealed my fate
the beast
i feel like a wild animal
the way my heart is trying to tear its way out of my chest to get to you
i follow the trails you leave,
trying to find every part of you
so i can sink my teeth into the most vulnerable parts of your soul
become a part of you
and sometimes, i wonder if i am following the scent of something ill never quite reach
but i can never stop looking
as maybe one day, ill taste just enough to lay there with you
our hearts beating in sync
and feel a part of your heart
has become a part of my own
clouds
when i look up to the sky,
trying to make out shapes in the clouds,
all i can imagine are your eyes staring back into my own
just friends
i don’t think i could ever just be friends with you
after your hands created grooves in my heart that make my blood flow in a different way than ever before
and your eyes tore a hole in my heart that i still have to stitch back together
using thread that doesn’t match
the fabric of who i once was
lucid dreaming
when i woke up this morning, i was still in a dream
i felt the weight of my bones
i felt my skin come alive and buzz
i felt the blood in my veins, warm and flowing
i could feel the sheets tangled underneath me
i could feel the warmth of the blanket that covered my body
i could feel that cold bite my face as the world tried to drag me from sleep
and i could feel you
i felt the beat of your heart as i lay on your chest
i felt you breath, slow and steady, on the top of my head
i could feel your arms around my waist, gripping me like i would disappear by the time you woke up
i could feel every part where our bodies touched
my nerves dancing under the pressure
as i lay there, i fought to stay in this dream
this sweet, soft dream where we rest together
but as the sun rose
and the birds sung
i knew i would be forced to wake
but somehow, when my eyes opened
you were still there
come alive from my dreams
to sleep here with me for a few more minutes
oh you must stay
stay here with me
as my dream melts away
and the world soaks in
stay with me, darling
