There is patience in the way
she guides
her body against mine,
calling out, grasping.
I am left wondering
if she wants to hold
on, but her grip is
too shaky.

I want to be the sole reason
you cannot sleep at night,
clawing at your skin,
your mouth trying
to find mine,
reaching for air, not
found in your lungs.
I want to be the only purpose
for your eyes to open,
and find I鈥檓 not there.

I wonder how many
lies you had to tell
yourself to walk
away from me.
Did you tell them
it was all me?
Was it because i lost
my mind?
What are you going
to tell her,
when she asks?

Don't ask me how I've been
I'm wondering how you are
in that same exact moment.
If you ask,
your voice will only
make a home throughout my bones,
a place you don't deserve to
be a part of.
You are there,
coffee in hand,
hand in your left pocket,
eyes wandering across my face.
Your lips, stained with my favorite
shade of lipstick... Did you do that on purpose?
I feel you beginning
to make a home聽
where i don't want you to.
And I watch your lips part.
fuck.

when i reached out,
your fingertips brushed mine,
hoping the electricity would pull you in.
i became fooled to think you would ever
close your fist around mine.
instead,
they wrapped around my neck.

while she is away,
i promise to her
that i will miss her
more and more,
as her side of the bed
gets colder and colder

[ Is it too much to ask you
to fall in love with me again
and again,
like our hearts did
when your eyes saw mine
and our hearts laced together? ]
[ Is it too much to ask you
to kiss me again
and again
like our lips won鈥檛 touch
anything so pure
ever again? ]

there's a saying my father always told me,
and i never knew if it were to be true,
something in my head tells me
that it is true, when the saying goes,
'If she is the wind, she cannot be tamed,
the wind is wild, the wind is free,
the wind is always where you don't
want it to be,'
and maybe i should've let you go,
before i got attached, before i knew
i wouldn't be able to rid the memories
of your ghosts.

im fighting sleep,
with a nightmare
that keeps sawing away at my brain.
inch by inch
it makes its way touring
and picking me all the way
down to the bone
i want you here,
i want you here,
to hold me tight
in the middle of the night,
when im trying to stay awake
to keep the vultures from getting
to my brain.
though these nightmares
are nothing to compared
to you not here.
because i dont want to be anywhere
where you're not near.
fighting sleep,
i am reaching for you,
in the dreams
that saw away聽
at my brain.
i want you here
i want you here
i want you..
here.
