we could be like venn diagrams i fall down a lot
and while i'm laying back to the ground, somewhat starry-eyed with both my palms slightly grazed, i've been reduced to trying to explain the size of the sky to you. this is what i do when i have other things i should be saying but can't cough up right now. instead i'm mumbling about how the clouds have been wringing the bright blues of the sky dry with sapphire ribbons of raindrops for days. or about when you meet me at the shore and send shivers down my spine, all i can think about is how the sky never ends. i want to stand up and explain to you that i like my lightning without thunder and that i want whatever it is that's
tell me something that matters yesterday, you were sorting through your pullover sweaters waiting for the winter to come as you thought about how you never feel warm even with your hands tucked into stretched out sleeves. you were wearing your favorite cardigan, buttoned sloppily down the middle so that the sides hung unevenly as you sorted through your even sloppier feelings.
tell me something that matters.

tonight, you’re in love with this wool coat that buttons uneasily and has pockets with holes in them so you lose both your rhymes and your reasons. you’re finally realizing that your favorite song is the tune hummed by train horns at 2:40 am since you can
promise to play this on silent hello—

just promise me you’re listening.

since once you get used to being ignored for long enough, it’s nice to pretend that you could be something. that you could say something that matters. and that somewhere, someone is listening. and for now, i’ll make believe that you’ll make everything better. that the air will taste like sunshine even though it’s been raining for days. or that my heart isn’t disconnected and that maybe my lips will get the message. or even that for the next two and half minutes you’ll love me.

i’ll make believe.

she can’t explain but it’s like that pins and needles feeling except in her heart. it’s like she could have said twelve thousand and four different things and she picked the wrong one. it’s the way she’s no good with words except she tries forcing her ideas into verses and stanzas and neatly packaged displays of her individualism. so it’s as if she’s set up an exhibit in her mind, complete with glass windows for people to press their handprints into, staining her already disheveled head with traces of themselves. she’s empty mouthed since she just realized that not a single bi
it's raining in our hearts. four months ago, the weather was warm but the sky was dark except for little glowing drops of light that sliced through the darkness and pounded on your cracked windshield. the wipers were screaming back and forth cutting the comfortable silence we sunk into.  your knuckles were white on the steering wheel as if the bones were begging to get out and i swear, i could hear your heart beating from my seat eighteen inches away. your eyes kept straying from the road to my face as i stared decidedly out the window watching the storm build and calm in the reflection of my eyes as the sky poured color infused water droplets on us. i wanted

what i reallllly wanted to call this was:
in my head, you're an entire galaxy

so here's another crazy typographic piece.
i kind of like it. don't tell.

also. this is what it says. just in case:

did you ever notice that the spaces above us look different?
that when you and i first spoke it was a cosmic collision
where the sun started shining three times too bright
and the stars in the sky folded and merged
to form the only constellation i'll ever wish on again
so now when i get lost in the road maps to the sky
the only thing i will ever see is you

Brilliance. I can't shake off the awe, nor can I stop smiling. :nod:

A mighty pain to love it is,
And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain
