Sometimes I just wanna be embraced
so deeply
that I forget all my mistakes.
Handle me with caution,
for I may break.
On the verge of collapse
my stability is at stake.
Be gentle, I am tender
In your arms, my body will flake.

Remember How to Forget

Know,
if you are struggling to remember something
then there is something you're struggling to forget

We can't remember unless we forget.

Love is a Creep

I counted your birthmarks while you were asleep
the ones that were visible to me at least

*I'm pretty sure I counted them all.

-

As I laid my head on your chest,
I felt your heart beat faster

I don't think I'd ever forget
that moment

when even your heart
was cheering for us

We Are What We Perceive

Only people with potential
find potential in others.
For it takes a lot of potential
to admit in other people's competence.

Not Writable

I never uttered the words "I love you"
but
if you dove deep enough
into the words of my poems
you would have found
"I love you"
between
every letter

The Grass Is Greener Where You Water It

If you keep wanting what you don't have,
*you'll never have what you want
