Blue Words

-
I was gonna write 
about the way 
You make me feel
but I've been distracted 
by your eyes
how they are
both ocean and sky
A blue
so perfect 
I purposely 
forget how to swim
So I can sink 
down slow 
and drown in them
Eyes that crinkle 
at the edges
when laughters
getting 
the best of you
Eyes framed 
by freckles 
the way 
the sky
is framed by stars
clear cool pools 
and from afar
A blue 
that's kissed
by the gray 
of storms 
at sea
with a brightness
like lighting 
crashing 
it's heat
deep 
into me
the blue 
left 
by the sun
sinking 
into the earth 
a velvet
so crushing 
it hurts
in the most 
delicious of ways
a melancholy blue
that begs me 
to stay 
I wanted to write 
about the way
You make me 
feel 
but the blue 
of your 
eyes
has revealed
my inability to focus
so this 
is now an ode 
to you
and the brilliant
blinding 
beauty 
of our
blues, 
Your eyes
and my 
open 
honest
need 
to gaze
at
the sweetness 
that is 
You

List Words

-
I make lists  of things  that I think  will  make me  somehow  better  at life the things that I need the things that I like  the ones  that feel  right  and I  find every first line holding  your eyes your hands your face  your name and my heart is afraid desperately  trying to quickly erase to start over to replace  the ache  that I feel  I avoid  avert  appeal  to my lonely  aching soul  to let you  to leave you  to make you  go  a fresh page blank lines  pen set and I  drag it down then across and I know... I know I know... that this list is my truth  and my  heart  has been  lost

Diluted Words

-
self love cause I  let myself  cry in the shower hard ugly  racking  sobs chest  burning  lungs  gasping asking me to relax self love cause  I  admit to myself that I'm unhappy unworthy under self imposed pressures that I never  ease up on self love  cause  I know deep in the places I never let  anyone see I am nothing no one  never have been  never having the strength  to be my own best friend self love  cause I let myself remember  what was done  and I let the ache wash over  me hot as this water hot as this shame  that I claim when I think  of opening up  of being vulnerable  self love cause I won't ever be  that weak  I will keep  my distance my dismissive  dark thoughts  at the forefront  of my mind  self love  cause I'm too broken to fuck  around and find love  find out that I was right  this whole time ...
