    hello, i hear you
    through the old recorder i used to reach
    but i’m not ready to speak your name
    which lands me on my knees

    hello, i’m listening
    but i’m not ready
    to fathom your words
    and twine them within me

    i know it’s easy to love and let go
    to hurt when you’re with me
    but listen closely to the words in your mind
    telling you to let go and let me be with me

    it’s no different than it was back when things were simple
    and you weren’t sorry for letting go
    and jumping ship to let the ship wreck me
    but i hold no grudges, i’m just not ready
    to let you bring me to my knees

    hello, i hear you
    i guess it’s simple to let you back in
    and let you crumble at my knees
    but i hold no anger, just please
    unconditional love forever in my dreams

    i’d say hello, but we both know where we’d be
    so i’ll let you talk to the old recorder with ease
    i’d say no worries, but i do for the sake of who we used to be

    hello, i say to myself
    i’m fine here, where we used to sleep
    these gray blankets and subtle peace
    i don’t want to leave you hanging
    you know i love you, but i can’t stay here
    when the house is black and the void is clear
    you know i miss you, but i can’t stay here
    when the mirrors speak pain and the hallways know each game

    i know you tried and it’ll always be there
    it wasn’t our time to love each other
    but when we find it, you’ll find me
    and we’ll be together, in time
    when our love transcends into magic and the sensation finds us

    hello, i hear you (response to adele)

    i cupped
    your love
    in my hands
    in my palms
    and held you
    as you floated
    in and out
    of consciousness
    and there i was
    head over heels
    for a man
    who happened to
    jump 
    as i fell

    to fall

    i always 
    wondered
    how it felt to be
    to understand 
    a world of pleasure
    how you could transcend
    into magic
    a sensation
    of love
    for oneself

    you + worth

    The love was beyond intense. It was to the point where I could write a thousand poems simply about the way he held my hand on July 13th, 2013, at 10:46pm.

    he stood
    as a phantom
    with steel hands
    copper knees
    and twirled alone
    under the eve
    on a street
    which had no gravity
    and as he spun
    he saw life flash
    rip
    his heart out
    with darkness
    void
    which manifested
    through
    his entire
    being

    oblivious

    But what happens when there’s a ripple in the flow and it turns out to be more than you can handle?

    i believe
    i loved you
    when time
    knew everything
    when life was
    fine and grand
    and i never took
    things
    for granted
    like i had
    when we were young
    when life seemed to be
    at my tips
    and i could touch
    your soul
    with more than just
    the back of my mind

    youth

    You don’t need to be with someone to appreciate and love them. It’s called unconditional and it’s when love holds no definition.

    within the night
    i know
    i feel
    i turn to you
    the moon
    our constellation
    my fingers
    grasping the bed
    i feel you
    stroking my hair
    loving me
    here
    there
    somewhere

    dark side

    You hit a certain age where you simply stop bending and breaking for other people’s egos.
