i.

to reach into the mind

and refer only to the gods

as demons

and slip into the looking glass,seeing nothing

but a self that isn’t you

how does it feel to taste oblivion and hear

the angels sing of death

in instances like these

ii.

i don’t remember wanting to kiss you

or love you

but i do remember when i kissed you

and loved you

it was in a dream somewhere just over the

second horizon

iii.

the fifth wall is

a place

just between hate

and the desire to keep loving

iv.

do you ever get the feel,ing that

once is always enough,just enough

to die

v.

i didn’t mean to leave you

i didn’t mean to love you

i didn’t mean to know you in

the end

vi.

sometimes i look into the sky

and see not day or night

but everything i wish i could be

everything i should’ve been

vii.

you can’t live with all of these unfinished

sentences lingering inside of your mind,

viii.

sometimes we try for the stars

and sometimes we try to make the best

out of everything

ix.

i can’t stop wanting to get to know you

i can’t stop writing about your lips

help me stop,help me start living

towards you,and into you

i will give birth to a swaying sun

one that doesn’t burn but slowly fades

like the breath after a first kiss

ha,ha

don’t listen

listen

love

how could you,know,this,

andhoweverithink

we know how it goes

we know how it ends:

like this.

x.

unexpected places

lingering traces

burning faces

hopeful places

outlining traces

living in places

lingering faces

losing places

losing traces

losing faces
