i am awestruck by your beauty.
you are skin stretched over sharp and brittle bones and you are soft blonde hair left in tangles and empty brown eyes full of shattered dreams.
you are truly sublime in every sense of the word, yet you are broken sobs at two a.m. and you are tear streaked cheeks and bloodshot eyes and i can't get away because you are everywhere and how can i escape someone i am surrounded by.
i am in love with you,
but you are the bitter coffee i gulp in the mornings and the burning liquor every night and you are eyes stinging with unshed tears and broken hearts and holes in walls and screaming matches and you are falling apart at every seam.
i am trying to make this work.
so you are gentle touches and you are kind words and warm hugs and soft kisses and whispered conversations far too late at night and you are warm tea on a cold day, you are a promise that things will be okay.
