forever

I don’t want to hear
another ‘always’
stolen from you
by momentary bliss

look at me when you hate me
when you can’t fucking stand it
and show me your forever

revelations

the catacombs of your mind

harbor treasures within

a familiar soul, revisited

after the world ended

dust off the tomes

and read of love

untitled

don’t worry about the bad things

i fell in love with those too

warmth

awe-struck in the clutches of your gaze

bodies, minds intertwined

it feels like home

your essence is my medicine

your heart, mine to protect

you are not alone anymore

vulnerable

my eyes danced along the ice

watching the cracks spread with nervous excitement

it’s been frozen a long time, but I’m not afraid of the depths

the faint whistle of a mockingjay prompted me forward

further from the bank and closer to your center

one more step should do it

submerge me, lest I never understand what lies beneath

perspective

chaos is the sculptor of beauty

the glistening snow hiding cracks in the asphalt

I tried to find my way home

but everything looked different

memories flood to me every morning

they’re gone by sundown

a life of fleeting moments to try and hold on to

I used to be glad I had a poor memory

but now I don’t want to forget you

healing

the warmth during winter

the hope for tomorrow

you pulled back the curtains

and let the light in

reunited

a forgotten pathway, hidden by foliage

a damaged synapse, mended by emerald eyes

“where has the time gone?”

down the drain alongside assortments of pills and drops of blood

the past is bleak, yet the future is blinding

bask in the light but be mindful of the shadows

together

together we form the walls of our little home

let’s fill it with everything we had lost before

i’ll keep you safe

if you keep me warm

karma

here’s to you

for every fucking time I fell

and dragged you down with me while you held on for dear life

for every fucking mistake

for every fucking tear that I took from you

from those trustworthy eyes, filled with fear and love

spilling from your damaged heart down your cheek

I promised I’d put it back together

I promised I’d change

I promised no more empty promises

that was the last time I saw you

and I can assure you

karma’s a bitch
