i only love you(r touch).

when we kiss it's fire, burning our lips and tongues and teeth. we can't pull away, can't look away, my eyes lock onto yours; your kiss trails down my neck, leaving fire in its wake. your breath makes me shiver, your whispers linger in my ear.

i love you(r touch).

you make me fire, you make me burn, fiery and passionate and bright, until i can't take it anymore. until my fingers are burnt at the tips and i cry ashes and my hair smells of smoke.

i hate you.

we do not love each other. there's nothing in your eyes but desire, and it burns me to look.

the warm touch of love is soft and sweet, leaving butterflies in its wake and honey dripping from my fingers. but this is lust, and it burns and hurts and chokes me until i can't breathe,,, but i can't let go of you,

i want you

to burn me. x

pieces

pieces, pieces, shattered pieces of a little red heart that once throbbed in my hands

i could feel it through my chest while i was still full of life and love and joy,

but like the dulled tip of a knife blade, it can no longer slice through skin

my curly-haired boy

xx

killing me softly

your gentle touch

shivers

shivers on my skin

fluttering like my heart

against

my chest

x

memories of your lips

on my skin

the ghost of your touch

haunts me

x

your hands

cup me perfectly

warm against my chest

leaving goosebumps

in their wake

x

your breath against

my neck

touch me softly

trace my skin

with your fingertips

x

hold me against your chest

do you feel something

or are you just

holding on tight

please

don’t let me go

i may just

fall

apart

xx

first life

because

"we are living this life

for the first time."

for a moment,

i had forgotten.

this life.

this moment.

you only get one chance.

so embrace every moment.

make mistakes,

laugh them off.

after all,

this is your first try,

and after all,

this is your

first life.

when you’re a science major

i miss writing.

i miss pencil against paper.

i miss the scratch of the lead, the smooth flow of the words, the tree-scent of the rustling paper.

i miss the feeling of creating something beautiful in my own words.

the reason i love to write is because you create instead of follow ⁠— no equations, methods, rules, or calculations.

you're just ⁠— free. free to make whatever you want.

free to let yourself run wild.

i miss being free.

trapped in [lacuna]

in that space between my heart and soul

lives the ghost of the feelings i had

for you.

sometimes i hear her whisper in the darkness,

a faint humming in the night,

hauntingly sweet.

my heart pounding furiously

trying to

drown

her

out.

but her humming is melodious,

i hear it above eveything else,

the feelings i once had

a melody that never ceases

trapped in the [lacuna]

between my

heart

and

soul.

blossoming

❀ ✿ ❀

i first saw you

among the cherry blossoms

fluttering down in spring,

and my heart is forever stuck

in that moment when

your eyes met mine

❀ ✿ ❀

blue-grey

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ eyes of grey

i'm ******caught

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ in your

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ trance

softly

burning

only ashes

left

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ greyer than your

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀eyes

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

of blue,

of oh-so-soft

grey.

i want you to not want me

the less attention

i get from you,

the more i

crave.

it doesn’t end,

like thirst,

my throat gets

parched

from want--

i want you

to forget me

so that

i can

want you

more

and

more

i can’t breathe

from the thirst

my throat hurts

my heart

can’t

beat

anymore.

hate me, please,

look away

so that i can

want you more

so that i can

die

of

thirst

.
