#poem of the week

So thank you for showing up,

Thank you for choosing to love me when I was ready to break-

You didn’t have to.

-I love you too

You can’t put a time frame on things like these. These intangible things that slip from my grasp and wind up away from me with you, in a place that I can’t reach right now.

I’ll just keep loving you from some unreachable place.

Sometimes I think I’ll float away and just disappear forever one day,

But I’m caught in your orbit, love I’m tied to the sun of your smile.

-all of me is yours to hold.

The summer after high school was spent kissing pretty girls in the bar bathroom. It was time wasted having a good time being kids for a while before it was all over.

-the promise of September

“I know all of their favourite verses,

Specially picked to prove me wrong.

I am well acquainted with my sin

I have lived with it for so long.”

Hidden Places

I have sinned terribly in your arms

So now I must fall to my knees and repent

I’ll kiss my confessions into your skin

I’ll show my sins until we’re both spent

Show me what your heaven feels like
