Words

I’m old. 

Everything is grocery lists. And long lost loves who fall asleep next to you.

We’re past this.

We’re past the malady of trying to be together

But I love him. 

I love him so much, I might just explode, and I’m gonna be totally ok with it.

The stars are brighter now. Have you seen them lately?

Stuck

It's fun to suddenly remember but this time I'm not gonna forget anything. 

You like my eyebrows. So random. So you.

You told me you loved me. Because I told you to. "Tell me you love me." 

"I love you."

Damn dude. All the feels. And I don't know if it's about you, or the fact that I'm hearing it at all. I like it though.

We talked about creating the life you want. I want simple things. 

I want a boy who says he loves me. 

Harm/No Harm

I'm in love with you

Every fiber of your being

They're sticky, you know

A glance, a chance

I don't have to say anything

And neither do you 

It's all understood

But you do

And I do

And I love it 

All of myself, all I have

Is on this mint green table

Lay it on me

Everything's working now

It is what it is

What is it?

I want to jill but it's too late

I wanna do a million things right now

But it's Thursday evening

"The night is done," they say

Fuck off

I want you to be here now

So I can cover you in a blanket of red

And reread and reread the words you wrote

You're deep in a shallow pool

But I'm the ocean

Get caught in this tide

Or don't get in the water in the first place.

Astronaut

They're just three little words

Ringing in my head like an ear hangover from last night's loud rock concert
You didn't mean it but let's pretend you do
This is the warmest January ever
I don't need any other covers
Because I have my warm fuzzies right here.

Rolling Waves

It's ok to come along with me
I'm a steady boat in a raging sea
My arms look weak but they're strong enough for you
The silent promises I'll make, the ones you never knew

There's a storm brewing here but we need the rain
You want a life devoid of struggle and free of pain
That ideal thing, I want it too
But more than anything, what I want is you

See how my fingers fit so right with yours?
How your hands perfectly cover the places I was sore?
Your body, a perfect fit to mine
Did you consider any of this a sign?

Take your advice from movies and songs
The ones that stay in your head all day long
Listen to them, they're quite well-versed
Because you've already heard, the blue-eyed ones are the worst.

Unnatural

This pain in my back, I can't figure out what it is
Comes and goes and kills and eases
You're that way too

Engulfed in a flame, all thoughts on you
Can't turn them off, consumed by the fear of burning alive
My skin was melting but I was ok with it
Because when I was the burn, you were the aloe

Before yesterday, you were the sunshine
Warm and inviting and the least thing from scary
But I didn't wear sunscreen or move out of your light
And you're burning me now

You're burning me now
Stinging me now
Melting me now

You're killing me now.
