I promised forever, I remember it clearly. I promised purity, and you brought me soiled sheets. You promised forever, I remember the hesitation. You promised me safety, I brought you a box for wishing. I promised to wait, I said it daily. I promised endlessly, and you brought me goodbye. I saw it coming but never really saw it through. I felt the strings break, no more marionette games. No more struggling with tangles. There was nothing left to fight for, you weren't even there to fight with. You promised me honesty, with a Cheshire grin. You promised me love but you forgot how to give any of it.

You'll make it impossible, that's what you'll do. You'll make me want to stay, and what if I fall for you? You'll make me crave your kiss, like you already do. You'll make me want to stay, so what do I do? You'll make me wanna hold your hand, like the Beatles say I do, and you'll say you understand and I'll believe you. And then I'll have to go and part of me will hope it breaks your heart. Part of me will hope I'm that irreplaceable that I could tear you apart. And the rest of me will ache because you'll make me miss you. The rest of me will ache and I'll pray I didn't hurt you.

Silly girl got lost in the selfishness. Silly girl thought she had it made. Silly girl... remembered silly boy's name. Silly boy has a signature, a game he likes to play. Silly boy... got a little carried away. Silly girl had a thing or two, a few tricks up her sleeve. Silly girl doesn't play stupid, and silly boy got to watch her leave.

like reading a book backward, i read you. tears crawled up your cheek and hid themselves in your eyes. i backed forward, pulled my lips against yours, pressed them away, and leaned back. my hand fell up to your face, traced your cheekbone, raised back down to my side. you feel like glass against my skin cold and distant, beautiful, let me in like a poem bottom to top, i felt you near and against me. your arms wrapped around where i wasn't a few minutes later and where i won't be a moment ago. your eyes spelled out words right to left, .oot ,uoy evol i dna og ot evah uoy das m'i and i love you. too, you love i and you love i. and backwards

i want you to know how it felt when i caught you like pneumonia. i tell you, it got confusing when i couldn't tell if all i could feel was you or the pain in my chest from not being able to catch my breath cause you kept taking it. i want you to know how it felt when words were getting stuck in my wrists like trainwrecks or pile-ups and you came and sat beside me and put your hand on my wrist and i looked in your eyes, thinking 'i can't get enough of this.' and you said, 'they say write what you know.' so i wrote what you taught me. it was a poem about how perfection was spelled a different way, really similar to your name,
