Potential

We were seconds away from exploding. Now we just pretend.

Building the World

I can feel the world building

wrapped in flannel sheets and layers on your limbs

undercover hearts beat fierce

and tongues search for a hint of last nights rum

warm breath leaves goose flesh maps

and when fingers reach inside

I scream daybreak into the sky

Growing up

And it's sad, how much magic the world loses 

as we grow up

Force

I sat in wonder and awe

of the force of emotion it took

to break such a small word.

Object of Magic

This is an indirect object

full of magic

and wonder

and awe

which means it will probably disappear

before you realize its full potential. 

Brutal

The truth was

that all of 

this pain,

this guilt,

and this sorrow

could have been prevented,

and it was the knowledge of this,

the knowing,

that made is so fucking brutal.

Belief

Hold on to what you believe in, kid.

Sometimes faith is all you'll have left.

Echo

I miss you.

So much that sometimes I say your name

just to remember the way it sounds.

Simply

Somewhere in between breakfast and brushing my teeth

I realized that there would never be a moment

where I wouldn't want you

Heartbreak

The moment when your eyes stop smiling

and the whole world gets dimmer-

it's heartbreak.

Lonely Lights

I was addicted.

I was addicted to being someone special.

Someone worth listening to.

He gaves my words power and meaning

and now that he's gone,

I don't want the feeling to go away as well.

Comfort Lines

There are 15 million other places I could be,

but none of them would have the comfort of your arms
