trying hard not to say i’m falling in love with you

cause that’s never done me good

but i know i would keep you around if i could

you’ve had me eating out of the palm of your hand

at very first glance

and yeah i know you’re only a man

but can’t we just pretend that your kiss could heal the ache in my chest

(cause i think it can)

that mine could be everything you need

(i know it can’t)

like it’s my job to romanticize you

painting you with purples and blues

making everyone fall in love with you

by the simplest of your moves

so they all can see you

the way I do

a work of art

you’ve got a heavy heart

but in all that you are, kindness and warmth

seeps through your veins

it’s no wonder why you made me go insane

and why i’m finding it hard to stay in my lane

you’ve got me happily in all sorts of pain

lovesick on that grin that makes my head spin

while you chug down another bottle of gin, I wonder

“where have you been all my life?” as I stare

at your lips, trying not to think about the feeling of

our hips colliding while

words of love slip through heavy pants

or the feeling of your hand on my back

during a dance to our favorite song

in the kitchen of our new place

entranced by our little love bubble

created cause we took a chance

along with a stolen glance

and I can’t stop thinking of her in your sweater

as she cuddles you close, you thank the heavens

for this stormy weather

holding out your arm to protect her

yeah you’d treat her better

[twoheadedmoons]

needed to stop my destruction baby

and I can’t stop thinking about you lately

you’re the only good I’ve ever known

so I’ll let my wandering eyes roam across

your figure, wondering what it must be like to be her

[twoheadedmoons]

and dearest god, why do we only get

this one lifetime to spend together

when all our hearts know how to do

is hold each other close

and never let go

time is a currency the heart never

seems to comprehend

[twoheadedmoons]

The issue is, I will love you delicately. I can. But I can also love you harshly. Corruptingly. I’ll peel the skin off your bones and wear it over mine just so I can be reminded of the warmth once carried in your fingertips. I’ll drink the spit off your lips to taste the words in your mouth. I’ll cut out your gums and string your teeth and hang em around my neck so your pretty smile won’t fade away. I’ll peel back your heart like an orange, your blood staining my nails like a hot July afternoon. I’ll tell you every rotten thing I’ve done, watch it fester in your brain, in hopes you’ll love me any way.

- I’m a mess of good intentions whose

touch turns even the brightest stars to

ruin. I’m sorry a rotten thing like me fell

so hard for someone as soft as you. I

promise I’d love you if I could.
