didn’t submit for you
provoke a need for me
feel for me
respect me
or even love me
these underlying side effects
which redirect the way we see
occasionally leave us at sea
sting like bees
we’re the honey
playing in blood money
starving for affection and attention
not to mention our apprehension
the constant tension, holding us
cradling like we need an intervention
becoming so dumb in love
boxing, take the gloves
had enough
unfortunately, when things get rough
don’t run, understand
does the door need to shut?
laid the rocks to my whiskey
a shotgun laid the hickey
the song played
i wonder, you say you missed me
we were eternal
that you can’t live without my love
suffocating, dying for my touch
but what you never said
how i called you all those nights
asked you,
said you’d never be mine
held you in my arms
while you screamed you couldn’t do this
now you’re falling apart
engulfed in sadness
the madness you couldn’t live for
now this love is all you ask for
as we were running through the streets
as you dreamed of me
how could you forget
every single word you said
now you’re falling apart
saying that our love would never end
but the shot says otherwise
you had to wait till valentines
lying back
listening to you sing
that our love would never die
but here i am
your love is eternal
i’ll see you on the other side
remembering miami
b on his phone
you on yours
walking the shore
opening doors
the airs so pure
could talk for hours
no musical chairs
it was all there
it was fair
it was all there
don’t apologize
said it a million times
so many crimes
we’re grown
we know the tone
so don’t
arizona taught me
don’t apologize for being yourself
like you need some alibi
like you need to be authorized
i refuse, i rebut
do you understand
at least somewhat?
i can rhyme
but i can’t kill you with time
you flip me like a dime
on your own time
isn’t that kind?
my dear
i’ve wiped the tears upon your cheeks
how i wish they wouldn’t be
the need of me is rather pleasing
but you needing, the feeling
it can take a beating
i can see us
as you scream
hesitation fills
how should i feel
how should i dream
maybe it’s disbelief
maybe it’s halloween
maybe i don’t deserve
how you treat me
because the way you do
the american dream
a marine fighting for me
it’s obscene because, well
we’re not fifteen
should feel the same between
to a certain degree
but the pressures hot
i need a release
maybe i need time
figure out me
time to let it all out
just scream?
ten years my senior
was a lovely winter
regardless the splinter
the rope, there was no hope
i’ve seen lows
i’ve blown smoke
i’ve joked
slept without a home, left my robe
been unable to say no
didn’t you know?
i’m alone
i live in my frontal
wishing i lost temporal
that my thoughts weren’t perpetual
you say we’re at two different stages
but i’ve flipped pages
played on stages
if only i were an angel and i hadn’t seen faces
then maybe, i wouldn’t play in ranges
look for a chase or something outrageous
but i like to think i’m courageous
i like something dangerous
because painless
who wants painless
isn’t that pointless?
time to time
i die a little each time
it’s wild, it’s cruel
drowning in a pool
your blood, it’s nice
your hands, just as twice
think about your eyes
your voice
that night, july
it’s all just a rhyme
in my mind
it’s hard to think
i blink, i see you
my mood, it changes
the waves
take me places
soon, your suit
all of you
i just miss you
i hope you had
a good afternoon
