I can never forget the way
you held me so still.
The threat of your words
held conquest in my mind.
Breath caught,
waiting
for your own breath
to bring down my world.

Feather-fast,
drifting into my open eyes,
the world is opened before me
in the sound of your voice.
Hold me closer,
love,
molding into you.

Whisper in my ear,
your ever-rising intensity.

I am helpless
for you
and no other.
I am selfless
for you and no other.
I put my desperation
and tragedy on hold
for you and no one else.

I need you here now, love.
I, who cannot need.

written in blood before everything went black

damn this is so beautiful!!
beautiful in its honesty...in its vulnerableness..in its confessions of self exploration and devotion.
What I wouldnt give to have someone write for me like this again...
you guys make me smile...love looks good on yas

The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind pretend I am weightless and in this moment I am happy
