I wanted to fill your lungs, I didn't want you to drown just wanted you to breathe me. I wanted to fill your lungs, I didn't want you to drown just wanted you to breathe me. I wanted to fill your lungs, I didn't want you to drown just wanted you to breathe me. I wanted to fill your lungs. I didn't want you to die, just wanted you to love me.

I lay here. Next to lifeless palpable vacancy. she comes to me with lances of starlight and a voice recognizable only as white noise and interference. my eyes become blooming novas, my lungs become paper lanterns, my tongue becomes a crypt for unvoiced protest. There can be no denying that she is beautiful. She is mending laying thick upon my gaze. forever my soul will smell like a room that she just left.
3.
Take what you want from me, my pockets are empty. I've become a ghost with stretchmarks and shaky hand writing. I've drawn a bath of hazel, got in and fell asleep, slipped far beneath the surface in hopes you'd visit me. Reminisce our bodies, and how they used to fit. Your hair wound tightly in my fist before turning into serpents.

Fortress 02:46
In all my life, I've never seen- Something grow as quick as I have to you. We are the tangled roots. We've entered the room- Crashing through windows. Climbing the walls, glass halls that are see through. We are the green conclave. A fortress of glass- A sunder ing breeze- I knew you were coming- A pain in my knees told me you were there. But it's worse when you're not there.

Apart 03:05
Cleaning my room, Cut my hand on the frame. Being apart, Gets simple with age. There's pine in the breeze, A scent that always kept me. And The lights that slept in your spine. That I can still. Still fogging windows in your driveway, Still warming shrines in crushing phase. Still bleeding hazel out of drunken dreams. Reshaping slowly just to fit you shape.

Repure 04:30
There was no love, an imitation, Or rather lack or limitation. We slept too much near the lake. You had a form, You had a function. It seems that both, were my destruction. I lost myself in the lake. You let your dress, hang and sway, Left to dry, the broken pane. We washed away the stains in the lake. The alpine dress, does it still hang? In the closet, in the frame? Say, does it still smell like the paint. Say Did you ever suffer that way? Say did you- Ever suffer- The same way? Did I drag out your day? Was I controlled appropriately? She brings the sun- Who brings the spring. Who brings the birds, You start to sing. They sing your name no more. The name they sings not yours. I'm repure.

Bear Lake 01:39
5:48 a.m. On a beautiful Wednesday. She's bathing in the eclipse of a "tip-toeing-shadow" and the the alternating glimmer of the lake. She bends light around her waist. Great pressure until it breaks. She is a quicksilver seraph with bones that hold her shape. The Suns manipulating rays- The morning alchemist turning lead to gold like she has turned my ways. She bends light around her waist. Great pressure until it breaks. She is the smoke getting caught within your clothes, and she can never be erased.
12.
I gently rest on you my hands. Reshape you like the ocean does the sand. Gathered your wrists inside my palms- Laying skin to skin, pushing shudders through the calm. My weathered smile, reformed renewed. Color returns, I regain my hue. For a while I refused To believe the smile on my face was all because of you. You must have done something right, or filled some sort of gap, Because every noise that's not your voice just sounds like breaking glass.
13.
Love, I've huffed the smoke out of your clothes. And I've been high since the first time that we spoke. I felt the flutter of nervous ribs, I felt the clutter of tangled limbs taking me away. In the void where we all expire there's a temple built by swollen lungs and bitter tongues. Where we can live. Where we can die. Come dance with me in our new living room. We can watch this winter by. We can do what ever, we can go wherever. Come say a prayer that our cars won't be lost under future snowstorms, or we could lay here, use up our sick days. I love the sound of tangling dreams with you. I love the way your name rolls off of my tongue. The light from horror films shine bright on the couch where we sit. It's a shame that we have never been here.

I want to be all alone with you. I swear I'm needing you. You have me looking for signs in everything I see. Just lay.

Shiver 04:07
our weight. cracks your name into my bed frame. stress engraves and splinters rearrange. legs bend and center lines break. I find myself counting wrinkles in your place. kisser purses lips. lover gives his hips. the past tries to sneak in but she doesn't fit. Nothing ever fits, or sustains its weight And our guilty conscious, always gives away. Shiver lightly in your heavy breathing, Shiver lightly with his flesh in your teeth.
20.
you were falling down to earth with your arms wrapped around your head with your buttoned blue striped shirt you were falling right to me you were waving ruled pink lines and you had me at your feet, dreaming strawberry pink tides dreaming your moon-phase, worn out eyes
