this is wrong, this is all wrong

I used to be so strong, 
but loving you has made me weak.
Now I dig my fingernails
into the palms of my hands
just to remind myself
of what it feels like to be powerful.

you and I will devour each other

You and I will devour each other like there is a fire inside burning up every bit of poetry scribbled down on the backs of napkins, every line you have ever spilled into me, pushed past my lips and scraped along my teeth with your tongue. We become wild things with sharp claws that rip and tear and bite, there are monsters in your voice when you moan into me and I am falling quickly in love with each and every one of them. And to be honest touching you touching me has provided me with enough material to last through years of loneliness, there is a quiet storm behind my eyelids when I am alone in bed with my hands between my thighs, there is a tidal wave screaming your name that only escapes in satisfied sighs.

I fall in love with people who whistle or hum songs that have been stuck in their heads for weeks and walk with clumsy feet and bite their lips absentmindedly and whose eyes light up when they talk about their favorite things and like to jump in rain puddles and twirl their fingers in their hair and hold their coffee cups with both hands and blush at every compliment and unknowingly speak in poetry and practice their signatures and hold eye contact for so long it makes me uncomfortable.

You're the meteor shower I stay awake all night for.

my love you are made of so many stars // 10 word poem

one: never let yourself get too comfortable. never trust the feeling that you are SAFE.

I always knew that there was a fire inside of you but I was unprepared for the way that comfortable warmth could burn me, I never expected it to one day leave me with scars.

reasons to remain unattached (7/?)

There are gardens growing in your voice, flowers spill out every single time you open your mouth to speak or breathe,
but my voice is lost or maybe locked somewhere deep inside my chest. My tongue will always be tied, my lips will always be sealed.

Letters To My Former Selves (1/?)

Above all else,
please always be kind,
to others and to yourself.
Do not waste time feeling guilty 
for removing toxic people from your life,
because this life is very short 
and your time is very precious, 
spend it with those who fill you up with love and light.
There will be times when your head fills itself up
with deceitful, dark thoughts.
Do not listen.
You are strong,
you will win this battle
and many more.
Please keep going
and believe me when I tell you
that there is so much to look forward to.
