next summer

Do you think we could fall in love again next summer?
Like a warm breeze that swiftly moves through the seasons embracing for the cold winter ahead.
We would sit among dewy grass blades and walk along the chilled sand from a secluded beach as the moon rises.
Splash and swim around in chilly water.
Lay between wildflowers and bees in the woods somewhere, talking about everything and nothing.
Listen to the calming flow of a freshwater river buried deep in the wild mountains.
Staring up at the sky, bewildered by the emerald canopy of trees nestling us in their shade. 
A sweet song serenading the climate, notes of gumtree and musk from a crackling fire hang in the air.
Birds chirping in nearby nests, the sound of children giggling and playing.
Here, beneath the warm sun rays, it dances on your skin marking soft freckles along your perfect rosy face.
Your laughter is something i will never grow weary of, as the trees grow more leaves and the cold nights melt away.
I want to feel your arms surrounding me again as the day turns into night, the sun drifts away and the sky gets darker, glittered with a million stars, so beautiful yet it could never compare to you. 
I long to embrace you under those sparkly celestial bodies, once more feel your love wrapping around me, immersing me in a warm daydream.
I know it will end, all things end. 
but this i would like to stay forever the same,
Because a soul like yours is worth loving.

attachment

i try and paint you in a bad light inside my head 
to create a reason to get over you but no matter how hard i try
all i can think of is you
you consume my mind
take control of my speech 
i will always drift back to you no matter how hard the universe can rip me apart from you
you have my heart
my lungs
my blood 
my mind
you have my soul
do you need anything else
i’ll give you all you need of me and still love you the same as you leave me to rot
so you can feel better
i would carve holes in my skin if you wanted to touch my bones
all for you
i would do anything for you
you are like roots wrapping yourself in my chest, 
coiling around my heart,
puncturing holes in my flesh to encase me in your grasp.
i’ll bleed out if it helped you
i’ll bleed out and die without your touch or love 
without your kisses or hugs
without you
i’ll watch you like the mona lisa
loving from afar

let go

i want to be back there,
i want to sit on the edge.
to feel myself let go just little enough to stay,
for my parents, friends, pets, for them i will stay
i know i am loved but it’s hard to feel truly loved when you don’t know if you love yourself.
i might fall off,
but for tonight, ill watch the moon rise, play with the sand and rocks at my fingertips, and i will know what it means to be happy with no cares, with the wind caressing my face.
where i can stay on that edge,
i want to be back there.
