clean sheets

I just washed my sheets

Here they are again already

Dirty with salty tears and regret

Lukewarm

Giving it a chance
Isn’t the same thing as
Being excited

Shreds

Don't place your tissue paper heart
In my razor blade hands

Excitable

It's hard for girls like me to get excited
Over-thinkers with guarded hearts
Waiting for the bottom to fall out
From anything that makes me feel

You Might Be A Bad Listener

Your energy feels like
Vibration and static
Erratic bouncing
Like a box of loose tennis balls
You buzz like too much coffee
An animal pacing a cage
Restless

Seeds

I was told to stop
Planting seeds in the past
That they won't grow
But all I see in you is growth
Slowly climbing with guidance
And I am cautious of course
I know you have thorns
But I want so desperately
To see you blooming

Blue Eyed Girl

Your blue eyes weave a tale
They betray you
The smile on your face
Sorrow shows through them
Crystal clear
An undercurrent
Pressing against a thin veil
Like they could well with tears
At any moment
