why do i crumble
fall into pieces of
oats and sugar
something beautiful
in a white bowl, but
a mess on the floor
when i wake up
in an empty house
why do i wither like
brown leaves
under brand new and
borrowed boots atop
autumn sidewalks
when i’m alone,
i’m alone,
i’m alone
it is not enough
to eat breakfast
however small
to wash my hair with
coconut milk
to not step out into
the busy street;
i freeze before the ice
touches me
i do not allow
the chance to warm
my own hands
i lie down, on
***** sheets,
and wait for someone
anyone
anything
to awaken me
The roaring sound of the early morning breeze
Creeps through my ears
It tries its hardest to lull me to sleep,
By whispering my deepest, darkest fears

At the wee hours of the morning,
Where the calm and darkness dance and crawl,
People are dreaming deeply of a tomorrow
That may never come at all

As our cries are thrown silently to the void
And as the world sleeps tightly tonight
The solitude within the night comforts us
As we wait for the glorious morning light
As the title implies, I wrote this one when I failed to get some good night sleep and I cannot help but think of all the thoughts that make my head heavy.
I thought
this thought
how many times
how much I want you
to be mine

how is it now
that in its place
how much I want you
to be safe

I wanted you
I didn't care
if it was right
or good or fair

but times have changed
I can't pretend
how much I want
to be your friend
Time with you is slow and sweet
Like honey on the edges of my lips
Kiss you soft and breathe you in
Feel you take and lose control
Dreams are melting-morphing into one
Shiver at a though that this could be our love personified
As you take my time and let it drip
Oh so slow and oh so sweet
******* on my lie
I fooled her eyes
And like a lollipop
She licked the sides


Slurping up my slys
I hid the surprise
Of deception
And
She licked it all night



Everything she wanted to hear
I said
She kept eating out of my hand
So I fed



Lie after lie
And I painted her eyes



So the only thing she could see



Were mine
