I think I am surviving
in all the wrong ways
Tag: words
Sometimes,
I wake up
at four in the morning
and taste smoke
in the back of my throat.I swear to god,
you’re still burning
somewhere inside me.
You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.
I want every piece of me to crash into every piece of you,
I swear to god that’s how they make stars.
I shouldn’t be the superhero’s girlfriend, I should be the superhero.
Darling, sometimes I think I shouldn’t let you come back. This has all gone on too long. It is so hard to love someone so inconstant, someone who is so often fading before my eyes. But I know I will always welcome your return. The way you crack open the sky to come home to me. It is all I can do to bathe in your brilliance. Beautiful, after all this time you still control my every move. I become such a monster when I miss you. Darling, it is always so dark when you’re gone.
People wait
all week for friday,
all year for summer,
all life for happiness.
We fell asleep together in February
woke up together in March
10 minutes ago, you rolled over in your sleep
and pulled me against your chest so hard
that I couldn’t breathe
but your chest against my cheek began to matter more than air.
One day, whether you
are 14,
28
or 65you will stumble upon
someone who will start
a fire in you that cannot die.However, the saddest,
most awful truth
you will ever come to find––is they are not always
with whom we spend our lives.
