Slippery

I won't slide into DMs when the conversation dries;

Shan't be caught slipping tripping about feeling burned;

When you look towards me with such pretty cold dead eyes;

I'll tuck my chin and just pretend I'm not really concerned;

I've prolly said I love you and you prolly didn’t hear it;

Throw a thousand things at once I’ll only catch, the vibe;

You’re giving off a lofty scent that has me in the spirit;

Don’t be too alarmed with just a look from you I died;

Aortas sound like melodies when they bleed;

Heartbreak sounds like symphonies in knots against the night;

That just means I’ve loved you true a victory;

Unless it comes to tongues with you we both know I tied;

When you look at me with such pretty cold dead eyes;

Heartbreak’s like calligraphy written in the night

love poems

Has anyone else just been making it up as they go along? Have you gotten so far from where you started that finding your way back seems impossible?

Well— reach.

Power when exercised properly is a beautiful thing.
