  Autumn​
  
  Here Lies a place where we fall together.
  a place filled with dying leaves, empty branches.
  the bursting colors of The End.
  
  this is the place where we fell in love.
  a hope blossomed from the depths of Death, the dark, dangerous, demanding, dreary
  Death. a place without warmth, a place without hope. and yet therein Lies
  the love of our grave, the grave of our love, our grave love, our lovely grave.
  
  Here Lies us, in the place where we fall together.
  i hope you love me too, in the dusky cool of autumn that varnishes our hearts with cold,
  a crimson congelation that pulls us apart
  while you pull me closer.

  Everest
  ​
  my mountains seem smaller when I look at you,
  you help me scale the summit, there's nothing we can't do.
  
  but your eyes are on the horizon, it's your attention I covet,
  and his eyes are on me, saying my beauty is an eclipse to the sunset.
  
  but you smile, and send a whisper through the trees,
  your breath of love is carried on the breeze.
  
  and I wonder, at what is true,
  I'm left wondering, what to do.

  dozen roses
  ​
  pretend you are okay
  you smile, hiding your broken heart from the prying eyes of the world,
  but there's no happiness for you here.
  a flower plucked, plopped carelessly in a vase,
  on display for their amusement.
  you sob, pleading for someone to take away your pain,
  but time passes and you realize the only person there, is you.
  existing has its thorns.

  first date
  ​
  fast cars chase tail lights
  screaming down the highway
  in blurred motion
  
  she is laughing in the passenger seat
  mouth agape, hair tossed, head thrown back.
  he is smiling with one hand on the wheel
  eyes on the road, adjusting his grip on the clutch.

  bad at letting go
  ​
  the ocean holds on to the moon
  in the same way I hold on to you.
  you raise my tides, you leave me beaming,
  then you pull away and I'm left
  screaming
  into the depths of the deep blue.
  I really should let go of you.

  him
  ​
  touch. smile. inhale, exhale.
  repeat.
  inhale, exhale. tension,
  release.
  
  grasp. freeze. breathe. quake.
  fingers skate across skin with desperation.
  no.
  necessity. between the spoken "i want Yous" and silent "i need Yous",
  they're lies.
  i love You.
  idea. existence. being. whole.
  You.
  i love.
  
  waste away with me. waste my time with Your
  touch. smile. breath.
  surrender.
  is pointless.
  waste my time.
  
  i want You.
  i need You.
  love lies.
  here.
  i am, and always will be,
  Yours.
