say you'll stay, you'll sail across oceans with me, though you're afraid of the sea, and i will meet you on the tail of the sunrise. your hair, spun sugar; i want to be there when summer dares to share the secrets of your skin so bare. your silence sinks the sun, and my sleeping tongue comes under fire from an overwhelming numbness from seaquins and xylitol, how you wake up everyday and you have it all. maybe one day i can say that i stand so tall and maybe then you will say you'll stay a while, you will let me sail across the sky with you. i have a map that i can't read with all these waves washing over me and in the madness of the se

when a kiss leaves you dazzled for days on end, your skin sometimes turns to rust. you end up haggling with the wind for ways to clear the dust gathering behind your eyelids. you forget to say the metal on your tongue away, so you talk through your teeth. his smile sways you, and reduces yours to script that scribbles itself out inside of your empty chest. it matters little, though; you never really knew you weren't full enough for words until you met the crystallized sunshine of his eyes' gleam.

a beautiful morning and a broken breath between the start. what i'm losing is a single chance to see your heart. i don't want forever, i want you to wake me up. forever is over. now's the only time we've got. i always do this; i fall to hard, i fall too fast. i fall for everything easy, i fall for nothing that can last. but you're not the same, you're not made by men who made my past. under this falling sky, you're not a moment a would dare let pass. do you know that you glow with the heart of the dark of the ocean? i would bend to the end of the horizon just to catch it. i would break my back, i would stop my slacking a

the sunlight sulks its way through smog- gy sky, smiling somehow. it was silk, really, seeing something so silent sing so loud. it made me see, i'm just scribbles on a salamander's stomach, really.

we broke each others'                     desperation, without                      [like fevers]         knowing the cause. i could have held you to my chest like the sun      and told you it's okay - and it is - but you blurred your outline with                             tequila and anti-depressants. i overdosed on guilt. i killed

the first step to sadness is to have. [3] poseidon punctuates the bruised shorelines with broken hearts and shattered abelone shell fragments. sometimes the shore creeps up, kisses my feet. sometimes he rips through the distance between us, taking what's his. [5] the air here vibrates to a fire, sparrow's heart humming in c major. it does scare me sometimes, how i might love you more than ibuprofen, or the way the light might oscillate through an ether storm. the person i am now is not compatible with who i was before you. but how do i scrape myself out from under my own fingernails?

i put your love into a box and threw it deep beneath the water in hopes that i'll forget the words i've been trying to say, "baby, you for me forever". is this the love that burns away all of my fingerprints? is this the love that burns identity into submission? you're still trying to linger, you're still trying to steal the sky. maybe i could stop you if i waved goodbye. i'm waiting for your face to fade into a blur of time-worn features. when i forget how to say your name, my tongue won't taste like ashes in my mouth. were you the love i deluded myself into dying for? if you had just intruded, would it still be this sor
