he and I would end up like water going nowhere

Water that never moves - it’s fine for a little while. You can drink from it and it will sustain you. But if it sits too long it goes bad. It grows stale. It becomes toxic.

I need waves. I need waterfalls. I want rushing currents.

the world is burning

​and I laugh with the blaze

play my life like a video game

I don’t mind, I’m driving through flames

my bones decay, now I’m gelatine 

you made me feel so alive

​I don’t even know if I can put it into words 

The world seemed bigger when you were around, filled with possibility 

I seemed smarter, sexier, more beautiful 

You saw me in a way that no one else did

You understood who I was at my core and didn’t want to change me

You wanted me because of,

He wanted me in spite of

her gaze

​her gaze unsettles him like it used to

like looking in a mirror

seeing something that has no secrets from you

we’re all just twenty something

​we don’t know what we want

but god we want it

one decision to make

I found this boy

he holds the world in his head

and he drowns in neuronal roller coasters from the comfort of his bed

I found this girl

she reminds me of the sun

and the night that I met her I knew she was the one

he's so intelligent

knows exactly what to say

but nobody understands him, at least until today

she's so understanding

I felt I spoke nonsense before

so eventually I went silent

but today I want to tell her more

this boy I am learning rarely ever speaks

and his heart has gotten heavy from the secrets that he keeps

this girl I am learning fears the unknown

and some of her experiences should have made her heart stone

I found this boy

his eyes contain stars

and he spent most of his life driving completely silent cars

I found this girl

her laughter could cure

and I've never felt an energy quite so pure

this boy, this girl

one decision to make

will they fall in love or make each other's hearts break

only love can hurt like this

​it must have been a deadly kiss
