i'm all sad eyed & sunsets
and heart of unrest.
but i wait for you
like i told you i'd do
cause it's your song i like best.
& lately i've found
my life is my own
and wandering the streets
with just Jesus & barefeet
i feel right at home.
so if you're not coming back
please spare me the words
let me down hard
i already know how it hurts.
leave me a blank note
with only your scent...
& without reason or goodbyes i'll know what you meant.

flying hearts in my eyes, the biggest baddest best surprise.
this is new
dragonfly guts &
trembling lips/hips/fingertips.
i like being close to you,
but still a stranger.
i'd like to keep it this way
for years.
wear your old sweats and a tank-top to bed,
let you memorize every crease.
every scent.
but remain skin surface safe.
i don't want to remind you
of someone you had,
rather,
someone you've been wanting to find.
i want to be the last thing you sigh over,
and the first thing on your mind.
this is old & familiar,
but i swear this time it will be different.
