I can’t promise you a perfect life. I can’t promise you clear skies and sunshine and rainbows overhead. I can’t promise there won’t be long nights or silly fights and Storms that never seem to end. But I can promise you this, my beloved, my best side, my other half; the moment I start loving […]
Strip me. Remove my guards and my walls and my endless goodbyes Remove my questions and wondering and Remove all of my control Use your hands To read my spine Press your pages Into mine And dog-ear your favorite parts with kisses and sweat and tickling breath. Watch with awe-struck eyes our words run together […]
// I am here. For the moment in the morning when you forget about what happened one hundred sleepless nights before For the shameless attack on your hollow heart as the memory creeps in and it feels like it’s happening over and over and over again. For the shaking hands and sea salt tears and […]
Credit: Page Lillian Open up my pages and read me like a book, Run your tired fingers up and down my spine, I’ll be the story that keeps you hooked. Find my inner lyrics, and sing me like a song, A baby grand that’s found her Rubinstein, You can play me all night long. Paint […]

Come closer, love Close enough that I can feel your light Piercing rays, sparkling haze, unmask my demons in the night Come closer, love Close enough that I can taste your fears breathe your secrets into my trembling lips kiss me with questions until the answer appears Come closer, love Close enough that I […]
//Maybe I’m the path you stumbled across the moment you were sure you’d lost your way A winding road so unexpected, leading your tired feet to a brand new day Maybe I’m the dusty cloud, swirling around a world you once traveled alone, packing your lungs with every piece of me, a breath-filled trail […]
Save Yourself I can see you drowning. Water filling your lungs, you breathe it in deep, Close your eyes, and under you seep. I try to pull you out but you pull me under, And then dive back in after me. I wish I could save you. I wish I could save me, too. It’s […]
