So don't tell me how love will rescue me

I was carnivorous about love, I ate love to the ankles,
my thighs are gnawed with love

Are you going to kiss me

or do I need to lie to my diary?

I could never cheat

I could never cheat on anyone. It's the kind of mistake and wrong-doing I couldn't live with. Knowing you destroyed someone's trust is bad but destroying someone's perspective on love is far too worse.

You blink with more passion than some people make love with

scientists say we are
made of dead stars
i could not believe it
until i felt your lips
a million galaxies in
the space of a breath
a thousand light years
in a glorious instant
i never thought i
could be an astronaut
until i met you

I wanted all to sparkle and dance in a glorious jubilee

“He wanted all to lie in an ecstasy of peace; I wanted all to sparkle and dance in a glorious jubilee. I said his heaven would be only half alive; and he said mine would be drunk: I said I should fall asleep in his; and he said he could not breathe in mine.”

You are a sentence

and I am a semicolon
begging you to go on.

There are certain names

that will always taste like regret
and stomach acid
on my tongue.
