Sweetness

Curiosity

Hyperactivity

Loud

Quiet

Calm

Touch

Sleep

It’s easy to want someone to hold

to touch

to care for

It’s not so easy to find them, though.

What are you achieving

when our skin hasn’t even touched

what are you gaining

when I haven’t even gifted any of myself to you

I ask you

what was the point

of all those lies

and all of that time

wasted

when you aren’t even getting anything out of it

[emilyjanepoetry-blog]

It can’t be over

if it never started

[emilyjanepoetry-blog]

Please

Let me lay with you

Let me bathe in your presence

I can stop time

I nearly sunk into your chest the other night

I could have stayed on that wall forever

Feeling energy explode out of your body

I hope you feel the same way

sober

I’m too scared to write poems about you

Because what if you go away?

Then my words are permanently placed

Permanent reminders of a potentially temporary thing

God, I hope this isn’t a temporary thing

[emilyjanepoetry-blog]

I have become the version of myself

that I always wanted to be.

I am me, unapologetically.

[emilyjanepoetry-blog]

And although I am not searching

for someone

to make me whole

nor fill a void

I am one on my own

full of love and complete as I come

it would be nice

to have a hand to hold

as I fall asleep
