what we shouldn't do

I look at you daring you to do what we both know we shouldn't.
I do it too.
We both gag,
and wonder how on earth someone could actualy like this stuff,
you look up at me, a smile starting to creep across your soft lips
a wild light dances in your eyes
buring brighter with every second i stare into them
and the fire begins to flicker in mine, 
i touch your cheek
and slowly brush my hand upwards into your hair
and then i kiss you 
like the rest of the world doesn't exist 
i kiss you like i don't care if the world sees
like the world is on fire
and we can either be swalloed whole 
or burn brighter with it.
and you kiss me back.

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
