butterfly kisses

with eyes wide shut
slits through eyelashes
these butterfly kisses
and i can feel your arms
draped around me like a storm

we’re coming down real hard.

all surrounded
there’s no turning back this time
face these faces
don’t hold your breath
i won’t take another silence

from your heart.

i can’t be your soul and breath forever
you are an empty space
where a presence used to linger.
and i am gone.
because pushing me away is
why your senses were made

darkness swarms
rugged edges of our love
hidden under curtains of trust
blurry thoughts, can’t stay awake
hiding so we’ll find the

mistakes

mistakes, heartbreaks, outtakes
you’re breaking me
mistakes, heartaches, outtakes
this heart will break if you misplace the pieces i told you keep safe

i can’t be your soul and breath forever
you are an empty space
where a presence used to linger.
and i am gone.
because pushing me away is
what your senses were made for.
