I think of you, all the time- I really can’t help the hold you’ve put on me Chrysanthemums and roses To make my living place Look like it has an ounce of life residing in these four-chambered walls
Time is not, on my side Because I love you even more now than I did before Nobody has, the same grey hairs you do Same fearless aptitude Concerned look when I walk in the room You’re a lily growing in a field surrounded by vastness and open skies
I could cry The scariest thing about love, is that it cannot be replaced I remember looking at your face And knowing things will be okay, regardless if you were to turn away If I’m left in the dust, I’ll roll in it and breathe it in Draw elaborate diagrams of my lung damage because anatomy is my second language I miss your tooth enamel
On a Saturday, almost-afternoon Everything is perfect And I am crying, sipping my coffee Thinking that time has done nothing but grow my love for you
It’s so strong, like a branch that will never snap I wonder if you’ll ever figure out I love you like that
Sea urchins watch me spin like a landslide Unsure what comes next Not sure if I’ll pull through Lavender sea bed, schools of orange fish with blue stripes I breathe every chemical in, and I’m doing so fine
He doesn’t call to come over I got a dog that comes when called Didn’t expect that to be But it fits me quite nicely She lays against my running shoes As though they belong to the godly Earth Call my mother and tell her I’m doing so fine
Poem: Surveillance footage of Heaven: Continued
You come across as Tender But you’re more violent than the tornados found in Oklahoma, Nebraska, and the South of Dakota The plain states which are far from plain, because the bartender knows your name even before you walk in and order what the masses are having
There is a certain irony to how he shows callousness to the world It so evidently depicts what he tries to hide Myself, I’ve given up staying wide awake to wonder why, As there are lavender flowers with higher powers than standard protocol would lead you to believe I tremble on flat ground, but am most composed where it’s rocky Try to remember what it was like, but my eyeglasses become foggy
A raindrop in the company of a million oak leaves Desperate for its singular, idealized attention
You have to be observant without reading too much into certain things I’ll fade in the summer months, but come up vibrant with the snow in February Callow and shy, but on Neptune the temperature is Humid like a riverbed overflowing with algae Extracted for supplements you find at the natural food store You only walk in because the weather is poor (Doing laundry and then doing laundry again because you’re bored)
Tender spirit Your affection is like Surveillance footage I watch on repeat
This dog comes when called I think this is heaven, after all

Love poem: Skin (like a lavender sky)
See, if I speak with you I’ll fall in love with you All over again like an emerald green sky
Girl in a lilac sweater Has never felt better Than laying in the bed of your pickup truck As you pump gas Turn skeletons into ash Move like a menace, kiss me softly like that
You do the things you do solely to see how I’ll react But your closest friends would say you’re more good than bad
Love poem: Skin (like a lavender sky) : continued
So I pause Traceable glances, your advances Trail like a navy fleet approaches the bay Quietly, surely Ready to devour me Keen on microwaving things that are sour You turn entanglements of the moon into long-winded stories That few follow along with because inherently they don’t make sense Tar coal cave of parasites & diamonds Get your house cat to take care of the housing market finance
A river in the rain – water swallowing water, absorbing its high electron state Collapsing at the edges Falling through graphite Notes on my bedroom walls because I forget lavender interior paint is not a chalkboard A vessel for immunity Estranged from the community You only feel close to because you share a hometown with
Love poem: Skin (like a lavender sky): continued
I’d read you my words, that I rehearsed Collectively failing to portray the argument that I thought I had right Your posture will take with you to the grave The handwritten collages I made Of your favourite leaves to give to you for the holidays What a girl That sure thought
It would last, like it couldn’t Like the fever wasn’t on fire The skylight not screaming at me – “Go home, he’s worked too hard” To tear society apart For a girl whose art
Revolves around being in love & staying in it
Love poem: Skin (like a lavender sky): continued
See, if I speak with you (On the top of the aircraft, there are more pretzels) I’d laugh with you Make you smile and that would be too much for me to
Fall in love with you like a crisp lavender sky
You do the things you do solely to see how I’ll react But your closest friends would say you’re more good than bad
Love poem: Skin (like a lavender sky): continued
Patient and holy This girl is only Made of so much skin
Patient and holy This girl is only Made of so much skin
If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do the things you do If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do the things you do

Poem: Angel (first impressions)
I’m made of limestone; artists come from across the world just to carve me into Something that can breathe I’ve got angel wings That never tear Can see right through my own teeth My future with anybody Carve me into Carve me into Something that’s alive and breathing
Drawing faces on eggs and putting them back in the carton at the local market Way I walk makes a man wish he could properly aim at a target Not everything comes with practice and this I keep written on the inside of my inner lip Angel feathers, sparkly pink cream lip gloss Climb to the tops of the trees he painted when he was severely depressed Cut down for a holiday that I do adore Like the perfume I let flow across my bedroom floor
Hazel eyes that are this close to igniting a fire Soy coffee Frappuccino, five boxes of matches A liquor cabinet that only holds candles My love is addictive, so I’m careful where I place my things The rocks at my apartment complex are fake and so are the looks he gave Buying lighter fluid by the barrel Why would you do that to your own home When it looks so sweet amongst cobblestone The air is fresh like a diamond that I found in Nevada Next to waterfalls that only fell When I would ask them to
My black jeans hold eye drops and amphetamines A boy in a beanie ordering coffee has forgotten his own name He doesn’t know what to say I say pick one, you can be anyone – don’t you know? He coughs I melt Slip in-between the ash brown tiles that line the floor I only like three bands that make alternative rock And the rocks are fake around my block Like the looks he gave when I sipped my coffee and began to realize I was So much in the wrong place Glasses that are black, lips that make you blush I’m used to I’m used to being both too much

Poem: A city that’s lit by hesitation
I love when you spin your head towards the sea Make little effort in getting to know me Velveteen pink intoxicates you & gets you unglued Turkish golds in Marina del Rey Thought it was ironic I had no memories of that day We could pull the cord at the same time
He said He falls in love way too soon Well, that’s one way to push me away Cos if you don’t Want the love I’m giving you That’s one way to guarantee I won’t stay
Free-er than a girl in a sundress in a field of crystallized diamonds and wildflowers Did I hype you up too much I’m so used to sitting on the sidelines Perhaps I talked about my love for Chicago a bit much You temporize your moves to buy some time In the lights of the city, the hypnotic haze We were strolling along And I was thinking I could really be just about anyone
It’s not my cashmere Tiffany & Co’s, 2 pairs, credit card swipe Not about that, huh, too lavish for ya, huh I’m simple, I’m homemade, I might’ve been Too much of me for the you that you were showing me when you were standing with a cigarette & I thought you should dispose of that properly in a trash can Life’s so lavish when it’s only you that’s there for you I don’t live like that And I was thinking I could really be any other girl
He said He falls in love way too soon I thought well if that’s so, you should call a cab Cos I know a love that’s stronger than that Now that’s one way to push me away Cos if you don’t Want the love I’m giving you Yeah, that’s one way to collapse my stay
I’m in bloom every second of every day Chrysanthemums growing from the ends of my painted fingernails Met a guy that didn’t want to get me cut flowers I thought that’s no way to get through to me My skin grows every time I bleed Like just about everyone else in the universe But I want to matter I want to be more than a body I want to be a safe haven Now that’s one way to push me away I thought he should really call a cab
Born to sit on a staircase sippin’ a blue raspberry Icee Dandelions folding around my shoulders Cut it until it bleeds Unfold it until you find the serenity You locked away for nights like these
He said He falls in love way too soon I thought He should Really call himself a cab
