forever trying to fit myself into words

[katrznaa]

Alone & in Flames -

It’s difficult

to develop closeness

when all this fire

is constantly pouring

out of my mouth

and eyes

-K.U.

[starsmattering]

they tell us

reach

reach for the

stars

but what if you

are a

star

and all your soul

has ever wanted

is to graze the

earth

(i wish i would fall)

[starsmattering]

take her softly

spoken words

and hide them somewhere

deep down

away from your heart

revisit them from time

to time

when her memory begins

to burn your mind

take her sea eyes

and hide them somewhere

deep down

so they can’t see

what you became

behind her

take her

all of her you can fit

inside your paper frame

until she tears you from

inside

(she’ll keep coming back,

until she doesn’t)

alive

my eyes burn from the

rays of you .

harrowing relief

i swim in your heat

and count my blessings on each petal .

copious amounts of love

caress my face

then smack the floor .

nails scratch at my throat

searching

hungry eyes scan the floor

grasping

the sun grows sleepy

he introduces the moon to my despondency .

stars twinkle for the dancers

if only for me

street lights flicker like a heartbeat

searching for the ones who linger .

i see you

i feel you

i smell you

the faintest familiar smell

jolting me back to life .

i want to reach out

and grab you

but i fall

a misstep

into the void of

my mind .

[starsmattering]

anger is a garden

the longer you

tend to it

the wilder it

grows

[amkwrites]

If you were a dream, your skin would taste of orange marmalade, we’d sit in the sun and day after day it would never rain. There would be airplanes tickets, thickets of bramble bursting roses always in bloom, the too soon ticking of tomorrow’s tomb a distant never memory. My darling dream, in every bed I tread and trace your likeness against the sheets, hoping maybe the way the cotton folds will keep you tucked there against me.

it is not our artwork that is different only the frames that hold us

[deeplifequotes]

If it happens, it happens. Don’t force it.

(via deeplifequotes)

[starsmattering]

i have studied

myself in the glass

of a cracked

mirror

for so long

that it seems i only

recognize myself

when i’m

broken

[poeticstories]

Perhaps in the little pieces you saw a bigger picture! Beautiful!

[starsmattering]

Aww, thank you so much for that - you are so kind💛

i have studied myself in the glass of a cracked mirror for so long that it seems i only recognize myself when i'm broken

[starsmattering]

i wish my thoughts would stop running themselves rampant round in circles in my mind

(they are becoming too fast to ignore)
