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
rhetorical solipsism
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
the catacombs of your mind
harbor treasures within
a familiar soul, revisited
after the world ended
dust off the tomes
and read of love
don’t worry about the bad things
i fell in love with those too
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
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
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
the warmth during winter
the hope for tomorrow
you pulled back the curtains
and let the light in
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 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
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
