there was once
a girl,
she was happy and confident.
never cared about
her looks.
her smiles were ever
so bright,
while her eyes shine like stars.
beginning of 8th grade
everything changed.
she's snow obsessed over
her looks
spending hours on hair
and makeup.
never believed anyone
who called her pretty.
now,
her smiles aren't as bright as
before.
her eyes still shine
but they shine with tears.
not tears of happiness
nor tears of sadness
but tears of
disappointment
she thought that
she would never be
good enough.
yet she kept a smile
on her face, even though
she was breaking inside.
because no one cares
unless you're pretty or
dying.

I seduced you,
alone in the soft darkness
watching your pleasure,
feeling your heartbeat,
like music from your soul.

In ecstasy we floated,
reaching the clouds
barely touching
free together
in love

Stardust fell upon us
magical and soft
until our hearts were joined
as one -
and we awoke
in a bed of love.

Turning into each other
Like a rolling kaleidoscope
Humming vibrations of our vertebrae
Creating waves like snakes, shifting across diamonds
Darling, your eyes are the size of Saturn
The counter clockwise spinning of your iris
An alternate universe swirling inside them
The second hand is in high demand
The sun is breaking the mountains peak
A voice calls out not to speak
Lock your ears in the upright position
Slow melodic refrains
Echoing beneath the bed frame
Fatigue in our eyes, illuminating red hues
Burned out on the fork in the road.
I took some acid, thought about you a little bit, and wrote this

Tell Me

i want to fall asleep to the calming melody of your breathing,
i want you to whisper things to me in your deep slumber,
things that you would never say
had you been wide awake,
i want to hear you tell me about all the hidden things
stuck in your mind just waiting to escape
i want you to have some semi conscious trust
to sleepily know that you are telling me these things
and not to be afraid by that, but comforted
by the fact that i'm here and listening
i want you to tell me that you love me
and then as sunrise comes
i want you to awaken me with a kiss
tell me your mind, although slightly drowsy,
is only expressing the simple truths that
the daylight hours find daunting to tell another soul
tell me your heart is consumed by me
and you want me forever
because i want you forever
