i want to fall asleep in your voice and wake up in your thoughts. i'll let my rib cage split open and i will spill out on the pavement. i can't be found broken if i was never put together to begin with. it bit, i felt it. it left a bruise that i collected under my sundress and i can't keep them hidden. it bit, you explored it. you know i might break your heart but you swear you won't feel it. we have the same marks and the same scars that don't need healing. and i've never said this before and meant it.

i quit dreaming of dying when i found how you fill my mind. i finally have the courage to tell you you're what i dream about now all the time. today i'm not hiding from anything, you pulled my wrists straight out of my sleeves. today, i'm not afraid of getting old. until i die, i will be yours. i want to memorize each dent in your bones and the marks in your skin i'll never tire of. i'll spend each day learning your shape; i love the way you take up space.

i swear to god that i am happy, but it is a dream sketched out on a canvas in me. and you breathe in life with your passion for stories you tell me when i am sad and don't feel like talking. you're afraid to turn back into who you were and i'm so afraid that you will find someone better than me. you make me into someone that i am scared to be. i've carved circles in my arms, thick and red, for better understanding of words i should have said. i've got notebooks full of love songs that you haven't read. you have lines under your skin that you never let me see and poems etched in your palms. if you forget the words, at least you won't forget what they mean. you make me into someone that i am proud to be.

a summer so long that we forgot how to value time: as i'm emptying your veins, you're moving through mine. we will kiss on the mouth to make sure our feelings don't come out: my heart is on your sleeve for all the world to see. you create the silence and i am listening so closely. you are the blood that keeps me from fainting and the arch in my spine that keeps me standing. i will deflate my lungs and abandon words on your floor. there are muscles in my body that i haven't used before. you create the silence and i am listening so closely. when we speak, we leave bruises on each other's bodies.

i am no longer a mess. my hair is too long, my clothes are too big, but you could care less. my eyes are too wide, my legs are too thin, but you could care less. all the linings of my stomach that i ruined are filled with butterflies. and every corner of my mind that i savaged thinks about laying next to you all the time and it is the nicest thought to fall asleep to. i am no longer a mess. my lungs are so shaky and my thoughts are never coherent but whenever i sing, you pay attention. i want to love you until i have no more room in my chest to do that. and even then i will use whatever is left to prove that i am trying my best. i am trying and i think you know that.
