time and time again

my heart was ripped apart in seconds

and it only took a few hours to be stitched up again.

those stitches won't stay

just like I know you won't.

you leave the conversations like deer,

you run down the road for miles

away from me.

I only want to talk to you

and I bet I could for days.

the heartbreak didn't have time to set it

until you fixed it all

and told me you actually care.

I like liking you

which seems so idiotic

and hopelessly romantic,

but it's true. 

that's why i'm afraid of all of this

but

I keep telling myself

crush the hope like a beetle

rip it into a million pieces

 

then I wouldn't cry 

when it comes to that time.

    I’ve always wondered

    What it’s like to be myself

    Openly and honest

    And not hiding behind bookshelves

    Waiting for someone to see

    And let me into their heart.

    My neighbor is doing Duolingo across the street,

    He’s in his sixties learning a new language

    And I’m just eating leftovers, watching him,

    Wondering if he’s practicing French for his husband.
     

  • See you, brother

    I don't think you're a waste of space,

    I'll give you my room and my pillow

    As long as you make the bed afterwards,

    And close the windows to keep the rain out. 

     

    I don't think your not enough,
