Some Moments Don’t Have to End

Take me with you
Get me so high
So high
That coming down will never be an option
Whisper millions of secrets in my ear
Tell me things I didn’t know for hours
and hours
Read to me til I fall asleep just so I
can hear your voice
Put on our favorite movies
Watch us laugh moment after moment
Until the sun goes down
We'll watch the stars
drift about their business
While we enjoy ours
Lay me down
And fill me with your hopes and dreams
Watch me give you a life
You can never recover from

Kinda Like a Dozen but More and With Budweiser

What would it take,
to make you come back home?
What about dozens of roses,
left outside your door?
A dozen for,
every time I had the chance
to tell you I loved you and didn’t take it.
A dozen for,
every time I didn’t lay with you for just
five more minutes.
A dozen for,
every time I didn’t hold you
as hard as I should have.
A dozen for,
every space inside my heart you
take up.
A dozen for,
every conversation,
that should’ve lasted longer.
Every word I should’ve said,
but didn’t,
for fear they weren’t good enough.
A dozen for every moment
I felt completely at peace,
surrounded by your presence.
A dozen for every word
you inspired right out of me.
Dozens for,
every time a look in your eyes
stopped me dead in my tracks.
Dozens for,
every day we have spent apart
and you entered my head.
And eventually,
there’d be so many roses,
you could never possibly
smell them all.
And there’d be so many,
they could make a path,
that could lead you
right to my front door.

Definitely Has More Than One Meaning

In your head,
It was just a night.
But a night, is a night, is a night,
Until you make it more.
The sound of your laugh,
Is just a sound,
Until it becomes music to my ears.
Your touch,
Is nothing more than a touch,
Until I want it to mean more.
And none of this,
Will ever actually mean anything,
Because that's the definition of unrequited.

Give Me Your Peace (or Anguish)

Let me see what your tattoo looks like wrapped
Around my throat
Push me against the wall
Your breath hot on the back of my neck
Tell me things that will make me forget
that tomorrow is even a thing
Tie me up so you can watch me
squirm underneath you
Punish me so well that it melds to pleasure
Remind me why human beings belong
with each other
Fill me so fast and so deep
That the only person I'll ever see is you

Some Things We Think at Night

What are we,
If not a big conversation,
One made up of hours and hours of words,
Like the cigarettes you chain smoke
- All the Things We Don't Say


God,
Please help me find things
meant for me.
Things that come and
things that stay.
- A New Beginning


Just shut the fuck up.
Let your lips find mine,
Let your hands dip lower and lower
Until they're coaxing me
Right to your body.
Let you fill me inside,
So deeply we create a new home
for us both.
- The Thoughts You Think When You’re Alone


I should've known he wasn't right for me,
When my words dried up,
My flow wouldn't come, and
I just stared blankly at the paper.

The End of an Era

How will you forget?
Chokers, mini dresses, and high heels.
How will you forget?
A willing outpouring of the truth,
things locked up,
keeping dirty things inside you for so long.
How will you forget?
A dark hallway, and
a kiss so shattering,
a whole house full of people felt it.
How will you forget?
Green shorts and an ending so sticky sweet,
you couldn't resist.
How will you forget?
Sex so filled with anticipation,
that even the sky opened up to feel it.
How will you forget?
Climbing rocks until we are staring,
down at the water rushing beneath us,
matching the tempo of our hearts.
How will you forget?
Dipping your sunscreen coated hand,
between my legs,
while the water gleams behind us with happiness.
How will you forget?
Skimpy outfits,
adorned while you showered,
things passing between us.
How will you forget?
Me, hands and knees in front of you,
dedicating my life to your happiness,
while darkness fell all around us.
How will you forget?
Driving away from me for the last time,
watching me shatter around you.
How will you forget?
With everyday you remain gone,
you become a little more forgotten.

I Know You Won't Agree With This But You Don't Read It Anyways

Every night you lay down beside me,
I tuck you in, cover you up.
Do you need anything?
How about some water, are you thirsty?
Some nights you let me drift off peacefully,
You rub my back, play with my hair.
Some nights you keep me up,
Whispering secrets to me as the hours go by.
I tell you my hopes and dreams.
They always make you giggle.
I tell you about a new boy,
You tell me I'll never be good enough
for a good man.
You tell me that if I keep dating guys that hurt me,
I can't hurt them.
I tell you I want to help people,
You ask what I ever did for you.
I ask you to leave,
Please go to the closet where
everyone else's skeletons live.
But you take my hand and pull
me back into bed with you.
The worst of lovers.
You wrap your arms around me,
Tell me it'll be okay,
Tell me you'll always be there,
You'll never leave me,
I'll never have to be alone.
I give in to you, I succumb,
I know no other way.
And then,
Just so I don't forget who I am,
You look me dead in my eyes
While you light that fire
Run it under your spoon,
Instant high.
You're my favorite destruction you tell me,
And I cry myself to sleep.
