Ways to Say I Love You

moon of my life

sun of my sky

cloud of my day

- my abyss

my heartbeat with yours

your lips touching mine

those gasps of breath which intertwine

-with me

those days of my life

those wrinkles in your nose

-I admit

“i’m never leaving you”

You

All I knew was that

You were the only piece of

My life I could see

Love Was

You found your soulmate

But my hair does not blow in

The wind like hers does

 

You found your soulmate

My hair does not tuck behind

My ear like hers does

 

You found your soulmate

My hair does not fringe above

My eyes like hers does

Icarus

I was Icarus and you were the sun

And boy did you burn

You engulfed me in your flame then nothing was -

For we were never

equal

Embrace

Swimming in the warmth of your embrace

I drown

For you are the sea that carries me

To further heights

A Girl Can Cry

Crying is a sign of weakness to my mother.

"

Don't waste your tears

"

"

Don't let them see you cry

"

"

Don't ever let them know they've won

"

But I...

I just want to cry.

See

- I cry these tears to ease my pain

Like drops of dew anew, this rain that hits…

And burns,

You lied again!

I lay -

Here.

Here, lies my motion less body

"

Don't cry

"

she said

You'll find a new way

But today

I release - this tension.

Inhale Exhale

Your breathing soothes me.

Inhale the rhythm of your beating heart

Exhale my insecurities. 

In out - in out - in out - of

My mind; your essence consumes me.

 

Ba dum ba dum my heart beats.

 

My heart speaks the language of a thousand lost souls crying out for attention in the sea of our own desperations. 

 

Ba dum ba dum - Its yours

 

Yet… You do not weep…

You do not see the signs of my fragile body wandering these streets on my own      

without life, without my heart - your home.

 

Inhale exhale

I taste your breath as my own yet you remain one body with two hearts two souls…

 

I’m empty

 

 

Brickhouse

Remember these wall I built?!

I built them for her

I built them for him

I built them for you

It’s hard to not want to give up in a world where you feel like disaster knows your name "heyyy baby" replays while the explosion inside of your veins burns through and true and you have lost your faith - a world you once knew A world you should belong to is no longer safe

all it is…is nothing but-

Promises of broken smiles and hearts of an innocent child as she sits. Waiting…waiting, waiting for the magic to be seen. Waiting to be heard. Waiting for the world to change!

But a zebra can’t change it’s stripes…

and this jungle, my jungle 

is somewhat not the same.

So these walls “i” built?

Yeh these strong solid structures of protection?

They represent a lifetime of neglect- shunned away by the ones who are suppose to love you most- shunned away by the promise of dreams and hopes 

Yeh these walls i built…

I built them for me

I built them for you

And I’m a brick-  

House

Baby
