i loved you in pairs of two 
your toothbrush was pink and mine was blue 
your jewelry and new tattoo 
bumblebees and lilies remind me of you 

i felt you in pairs of two 
the lemon in your hair and the scent of your room 
your makeup and sweet perfume 
violins and sweaters remind me of you

pairs of two

april 23, 2017 

you smudge up my glasses that i always keep clean 
you divy up my heart and leave nothing in between 
the spaces of my ribs, oh your teeth are so pristine 
remind me of your kiss, i don't remember anything 

you taste of molasses from the cookies we made 
you always gave me the last bite but never the last say 
the pressure in my chest, oh i know it's so cliche 
i wasn't at my best, it doesn't matter anyway 


i loved you in the slightest of ways 
you always kept me going for days 
i think i know what you're going to say 
i think i know what you're going to say

glasses

september 2, 2017 

what can i do to make you smile 
maybe if you bare your teeth, i'll stay a while 
maybe if you press a kiss to the back of my neck 
i'll dwell on you for one more year 

would you follow me out the door 
maybe you could focus in this blurry night 
tell me what you're gunning for or - 
don't spill your heart, we'll drown in mine

smile

september 29, 2017 

i don't like your fuck buddy 
he sees more of you than me 
i wasn't expecting anything 

i enjoy your conversation 
mean remarks, no hesitation 
put me down with your words today 

i love it when you're yelling 
i love it when you scream 
your voice is so compelling 
but you're not on my team 

i wish you weren't so pretty 
i wish you wouldn't smile 
i'll crumble at your feet 
please don't leave for a while 

will you stay for a while

please calm down 
will you tell me what you're thinking tonight? i know 
lost and found - 
oh, this gentle wave of sinking, my cover's blown 
you hair feels soft under my hand 
when i touch it, please don't reprimand me 
god, i cannot handle more rejection 

this is fictitious, it's the story of a girl i knew 
none of it's real, i don't think about happiness with you 
would you tell me if i'm overstepping exponentially? 
i cannot help myself, i'm restless, i am shaking at my knees 

please calm down 
will you tell me if i'm dreaming? this nightmare's overblown 
and i can't seem to slow down 
if you stop, i'll have a reason to be alone 

this is fictitious, it's the story of a girl i knew 
nothing has changed, i don't think about happiness with you 
would you tell me if i'm overstepping exponentially? 
i cannot help myself, i'm restless, i am shaking at my knees
