heartProblems

when it beats so hard it hurts
your nerves begin to turn
against your will
you clear your throat and speak
a language with no words
for I Love You

silent sonnet

this is a silent sonnet for a moment that never came to pass
for a person i've never met, i love you, but i'm glad i never asked.
this is about a struggle i've never faced, a pain i need not embrace.
for a memory that doesn't exist, floating like a leaf that never fell
on a lake that never swelled. this is a story that need not come to an end.
this is everything i'm glad to be, this is for all of you i've kept away from me.
this is patience, patiently walking. forward, alongside you, to meet in some other season.
for a fruit that will ripen, from something slowly sprouting, from within two people
who may not have met yet, who may never meet again, who may meet some day,
who may stay away, who may remain, who may, who may, who may today.

the arms of comfort are binding you

Starchild

You're an egg waiting to hatch. Lit ablaze at the strike of my match, born again when I've taken you apart, shown you reality and given you a place to start. You are nothing new, you are the tears of a galaxy, you are everything inside of me. You are where I want to be.

the story of the city that lost you

Darling deserter

I know you said you'd never hurt us
But what you're doing feels like murder
Please don't ever sleep
'Cause you'll dream of a better life
And I just want to be be at your side
 for one more night
