I wonder if my skeletons in the closet miss me.
I used to keep them company all the time.
I hope they're still playing nice.

They wouldn't make for the most comfortable of cuddles,
but at least we had a lot in common.
We could talk all night until the sun rose,
and it wouldn't even matter as long as we had the door shut.
We'd talk until I was deliriously hallucinating faces on their skulls.
We'd talk until I'd melt into their rib cages.
My pupils were as wide as eye sockets,
and I could see myself in their skin.
They'd smile at me, warmly,
and make me feel at home.

I wasn't afraid of the dark,
I was afraid of the light.

Sleepless nights and long drives
Are not enough time
To make me choose
Between the two of you
If I had to pick today
I'd probably just run away
I have nothing to offer either of you
this was relevant at one time but maybe not anymore
edit: yup. still relevant.

we're here now,
we're here forever

we were always there,
whenever we were there

together there always
whenever we were

we'll be there always
whenever we're there

"Won't you stay in the present with me?
We can unwrap it forever..."

whenever
we're here now,
we're here forever

Good,
if I don't think about it
for very long.

Alright,
if I pretend I'm not
failing half my classes.

Okay,
if we just forget about
the depression.

Fine,
if you're not asking about
me.

You are the
best thing
that has
ever happened
to my
*******.

And we
can only sleep
with our legs
entangled
in an
intricate braid.
I wrote this in my head while cuddling a few days ago.

I sit stagnant in my bed
Avoiding sleep
And then avoiding waking
Avoiding everything
Short of breathing
And sometimes avoiding
That too for a while
I miss having a reason to get out of bed.

that shade of lipstick made you bolder my dear.
the eyeliner put you in the direction you're supposed to go.
there's still time to veer off the right path
for the one that makes you feel more whole.
your mother's eyes might scream "I told you so,"
but that's all just talk. you're golden. I swear, you're golden.
