use your words- a poetry collection

neon & smoke

Cold air bites at our lips

the deathly brush of December's kiss

soft eyes and smokey words

butterflies choke me at the thought of her

hazel locks with eyes to match

hopeful hearts that tumble and crash

radioactive lies and see through tights 

who needs high school boys when you're with me tonight

velvet and silk wrap her like thread

words I say choke me 'cause they want me dead

forgotten nights with electric lights

toxic highs in teenage minds

I didn't know a human emotion

 could ever make me feel this frozen

Bodies buzz under neon signs

Tracing fingernails against your thigh

Fragile hair falls in your face

smoke floats up high in a swirl of grace

crack my bones with every single smile

love hasn't hurt this good in a while

A dull ache in my chest

with the tinge of regret

girls compiled of neon & smoke

puff out their charm and leave you to choke
