Love me like a well worn book... Gently smooth my pages before you, softly roll your fingers down my spine .

The want of the barrel hard against my chest and those beautiful eyes were the firing pin .

I used to think darkness was an exterior, foreign ruler looming beyond in spacetime but I know deep in my bones that dark matter fills even the spaces between the atoms in my body. And maybe that's why everything hurts all the time.

You take the brush out of the hand of your former self as you watch yourself seated at the canvas. You contemplate the familiar scene, heavily smeared with thick strokes of fresh paint & you gently remind yourself, "That's not how memories work."

There's a piece of infinity coursing through her veins and legend has it, if you press your ear to her heart, there's an ocean of stellar alchemy chasing eternity in a series of harmonic waves lapping her chest cavity .

The sky is dropping fat crocodile tears. A million feelings fallen from the darkened clouds, but there are no words .

Next time, just shake my heart like a magic 8 ball and ask, "How long until we're strangers again?"

I've always had this much love in my heart. I just didn't have a place to put it until you .

Horoscope: You keep your legs tangled with his as if that's going to keep him from having one foot out the door .

When it comes to the end of us, I have to wonder whether you'll wrap your fist around the rope until your knuckles bleed or you'll simply let go .

I hope I never stop seeing you in every blossoming cosmic cloud. I hope my heart never stops reaching alongside every unfurling dusty blue petal of starlight .

There's a tag wrapped around your heart that reads, "If you don't love me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best." Tell me, is it still collecting dust? .

From beneath my chest cavity a depository of ancestral light, long-reaching tulips and endless groves of stars unfurls towards you, my own loving eternity .

Who dragged their fingers across the universe and turned dust into poetry .

Today even the nebulae ache .

You're dreaming about a soulmate and baby, I'm dreaming about forever with you .

Looking for a soft place to lay my heart down... Just like everybody else .

The last time I spoke your name, the stars gathered... They haven't stopped falling since .
