“He looks at me as if I’m the flame and he’s the sea; he’d turn his tide for a chance to burn with me.”

Words have taken hostage of my tongue. All the things I’m too afraid to say collect like volcanic ash in my lungs. Vulnerabilities bleed on paper but leave my mouth – never.

I write to feel closer to you.

All my friends tell me I need to pull through. But I can’t for I am lost in the sea of you.

I get so lost in your midnight eyes I forget we’re running out of time.

Lost in the space between friend and lover. I am and none of these things.

Your presence is poetic, mysterious and deep. If you don’t mind I’d like to read you; uncover the dirty secrets hidden within your pages and fill that missing space between your sheets.

I long for connection but speak only with your reflection.

I was on fire. You didn’t even hesitate stepping into the flames. After tonight I am certain all the neighbors know your name.

You want to taste my ruby lips but fear they’ll leave a mark. Loving you is trespassing, forbidden access to an insecure heart.

You are the thunderstorm warning and I’m dancing in acid rain.

The night is wine and we’re the stars.

How can I be soft when tough love is all I ever known?

I’ve got the midnight blues in the middle of the afternoon – the side effects of missing you.

If love is rain ours is always pouring.

Everyone chases fairytales and magic until love becomes an illusion.

I dream about the body I wish I had and all the ways I could be touched in it.

I will rise like a phoenix from the ashes of the bridges I burned.

If I find the constitution being misused, I shall be the first to burn it.

On my knees, lips slightly parted thirsty, ready for a strong stiff one. Make it neat I love the burn.

Her lips have so many burns and scars, but they are still sugar-sweet.

That damn fire she was so proud of, burnt her own bones.

A love that demands love will burn the very essence of what once made it pure.

Made up of water, made up of fire too Cracking and burning, pouring it out to you.

Everything I’ve done seems to burn into ashes.
