the things we've seen

╚═══════════════╝

"all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain."

xxii. august, honey, you were mine
"i push you away, only to pull you back in every time."

xxiii. up where we belong
"i see you when i shut my eyes."

xxiv. lovesick, lovesick, lovesick
"keep your heart close to the ground."

xxv. too young to burn
"so they sprinkled moondust in your hair and golden starlight in your eyes of blue."

xxvi. gravity of tempered grace
"nobody said it'd be easy, no one ever said it would be this hard."

xxvii. innocence
"and i could easily lose my mind, the way you kiss me will work each time."

xxviii. guilt purifies nothing
"bones, blood, and teeth erode with every crashing load."

xxix. repeat until death
"i walk the line."

xxx. heaven help the fool
"the secret that we knew but we didn't know how to tell."

i see the end in your eyes,
and still, i walk toward it,
toward the sweet destruction you offer.

my heart rips at the seams,
yet i do not resist,
willing to be unraveled thread by thread.
knowing only the soft wreckage of my soul
awaits me.

for what is ruin but proof
that i have loved you fully?
even knowing you will be my undoing,
i cannot bear to love you any less.
