“I let go so long ago. I fear I have forgotten how to hold on.”

You broke my skin and seeped into my soul.

I fell in love with copies of an original I lost long ago.

If clouds did not move how could we see the sun?

I am still looking for a soft heart in the eyes of a someone. A wild and innocent soul. Always breathless to take in a new horizon. Someone who is waiting to drive into the night and wants me to join them.

In this wilderness, Mankind is the animal I fear.

I know how our fingers would interlace. Like this and that. Delicate yet determined. As porcelain scales in serene movements. Iridescent in ways our thoughts could not convey. How beautifully we are made in the ways we trace out along soft skins the words that linger within us.

Eternity is vague. Let me fill in the blanks with you.

All this time I have been masquerading as a soul complete.

Under the shadow of your skin, I find ancient secrets. They are now the truths I crave.

If you ever feel unwanted, make no time to distance yourself.

Every time someone tries to break you, God looks a little more after you.

She knows she’s got you feeling gray, but in her mind, she’s wishing that you wouldn’t stay. 

They see me smile on Instagram, they think that’s who I really am. But you weren’t there you didn’t see my pain. Your love was anything but vain.

You came into my life, with all your baggage, treatin’ me like collateral damage.

I give. And you take. So why are you always on my mind when I wake?

I swipe right to get you off of my mind, baby all these other boys aren’t my kind

A love like that was a serious illness, an illness from which you never entirely recover.
