I have come
      and bound the stars into your hands.
My constellation echoes
   Because you are.
I am not just one
          Ruined,
This is devastated
           Dancing around forsaken.
Nothing willing, but consenting.
   And you are, (to me)
Sky and freedom worthwhile and I
Bind the stars to your hands
To mark you my universe.

There is no fault here,
Instead let me catch
Your whisper,
Hold it with mine
Under the skin, almost
Like a love.

Phone freezes,
27 seconds ago,
You message me,
But we quickly go,

Is there a better word for almost?
Whatever it is it's us,
From nothing to something,
In the space of a dusk,

I lied but it was only to get the truth,
You must understand that,
Anyway you won't know,
We were done in 27 seconds flat.
This is getting to be quite fun! I hope you like this... Whoever you are. It's more love, isn't it?
PS Sep 2014
If I write it down
Maybe I'll stop thinking about you
And all the things
I wish I knew.

The names I would've called you
The nicknames you called me
Our talks of foreign films and ghosts
And your love of 1960s.

It's too far now
It's been a month since we spoke
And we could've had what we wanted
If I didn't need to know.
First poem. Hope you like it. It's love, isn't it?

Almost-love hurts worse
Than what was;
It's the potential that latches
To our veins,
Drawing out what ifs
And what could've beens.
It's almost as if you were set
On shredding the remnants
Of my sanity
And wouldn't be satisfied
Until it was gone.
And you were successful,
And I was in love.

Broken's almost whole right?
I'm just missing a couple pieces.
  I just need to tape them up
    never mind the creases.
Lost is almost found right?
I just need to find my way.
Blindly searching
   Tripping over my own feet
     screaming out your name.
Alone is almost together right?
I can hear your laughter clear.
maybe if I pull this trigger
   I'll be with you again
      my dear.

I lost you
in the most
horrible way possible

I lost you
to nothing
I lost you
without even a chance
of having you

The letting go
went before
the holding on

The period
began our sentence

The goodbye
came even before
our hello got a chance
of getting out

An ending
without an opening scene

Darling, I know
I have no right,
but I miss you
too **** much
to forget about you.

The spaces between our fingers feel i n f i n i t e
Even though you're a mere an inch away.
But I guess that's where we'll always stand.
We're just two puzzles pieces to the same picture
But not the right match.
You were a chest to be unlocked,
But I couldn't be your key.
I opened my door to let you in,
But I don't think you were so certain
On what to do.
Would it have been such a crime
To stay the night.
Whisper secrets while under 3 am's spell.
Tell the things we kept inside our guarded hearts.
Would it have been such an unthinkable thought
To think
That second chances were possible
(Then again it felt more like three).
It could have been different-
It would have been.
But, sweet pea, like they say
Not everything's meant to be.
& one of those things apparently
Included you and me.

I'm a little stuck right now.
I got some beans,
but lost my cow.
I was robbed,
but they dropped these here.
Thought it'd be something
I could persevere.
Mom's going to **** me
when she finds out.
I'm going to be cooked instead
there's no doubt!
Jack-o burger,
or Jack smoked-steak.
I can't go back home yet,
or I'll be begging to be baked.
:time passed:
Rain got on my seed
and it almost grew through me
it grew so high and loud
it goes right passed the clouds
It got too much attention
they think this is a plant convention.
I lost the other two seed
Well, I wonder where this leads
:time passed...again:
I..can..hardly....breathe..
this....climb was..too high..for me.
On my way up....my hand was run across by a rat!
And I almost jumped..but I didn't quite feel like..going "splat!"
Now I feel a little better.
But it's so freezing cold up here
now I need a sweater!
Where am I anyway?
It looks brighter than snow.
"Where are you?"
I WOULDN'T HAVE ASKED IF I DID ALREADY KNOW!!
"Where are you little creature?"
Oh wait a minute..wait.
"Where are you? You smell real bad."
What did he just say?!
"Thumpity thump
dumbity dumb
I smell something gross
and almost taste it on my tongue."
I looked around for a sharp weapon,
only finding some gold duck.
So I was going to grab it
when it woke and screamed
"Clack clack!"
I quickly thought to grab it
and swung it over my shoulder by the neck
then I realized mom would love this
and gave the giant a rain check.
I tried to just slide down the the vines
but it didn't go out well.
So I pulled the ducks feathers,
and rode down
until it fell. I hurdled to the ground
still holding tightly on the duck.
then I quickly grabbed a leaf,
and the duck yelled
"Clack clack clack!"
I brought it too my mommy
and she almost cooked it well
but she noticed a patch of feathers missing
and wasn't that just swell.
