Pins & Needles:

My days are long when
my nights revolve around dreams of us.

But the thing is,
Kisses aren't contracts, dear.

Steady feet,
don't fail us now.
xo

Heartbeats:

I have this favourite thing about you.

It's your ability to make me let my every guard down
and not regret a damn thing.

For the record,
This is how you make me feel:

"...& I swear in this moment, we are infinite."

Sweetest Downfall:

The truth is:



I'm not nearly as innocent
as I once was.
(& neither are you.)

But the bible didn't mention us.
Not even once.

(We were born with this blood on our hands.)

Blue-eyed Sunrise:

& they will see us from such great heights.
"Come down now.", they'll say.
But everything looks perfect from far away.
"Come down now.", but we'll stay.

Because we can live like this.
♥

(This might be the very moment,

I'm aware of what we're actually capable of.)

Relapse:

Pushed back onto your bed again.
But I'll wake up tomorrow.
With the same over-played memories
and the same poorly chosen habits.

I've become fragments of a woman,
fractures of a face.
I'm just see-through faded,
bent & jaded.

But if this is lost,
I hope I'm never found.

(colour me numb.)

Existentialism:

You see me for all that I am.
My imperfections and flaws on a pedestal.
My essence in naked daylight.

You see right through my paper-thin skin,
past my raw, chalk-white bone,
to the parts and pieces that matter most.

& you're still here.

We're still alive.

“We don't possess a soul.
We are Souls. We possess a body.”

(I can see so much life in us.)
