✩

it’ll be over soon

[✩ @ashenvows]

built a telescope so i could get a better look at you.

[✩ @ashenvows]

stop it, you’re staring at my lips again.

[✩ @ashenvows]

i would’ve done anything for you if you asked. but you never did.

[✩ @ashenvows]

you can take control of how my heart beats.

[✩ @ashenvows]

do you still perform autopsies on conversations you’ve had years ago?

[✩ @ashenvows]

i stand here attending the aftermath of my own ruin.

[✩ @ashenvows]

i think i’ll tear myself apart.

[✩ @ashenvows]

i’d bleed for anything if it held me the right way.

[✩ @ashenvows]

you have to dig yourself out of your grave over and over again.

[✩ @ashenvows]

this year, i’ll bite into life as i do an apple. nothing more, nothing less.

[✩ @ashenvows]

you were just a bit delirious, a bit deformed.

[✩ @ashenvows]

the blood on my teeth begins to taste like a poem, like religion, like the way you look at me.

[✩ @ashenvows]

in the right heaven-yellow light, anything could be holy enough to save you.

[✩ @ashenvows]

i’ll look for you in every lifetime.

[✩ @ashenvows]

i didn’t think i was capable of love until you came around.

[✩ @ashenvows]

it’s not love, it’s a power struggle.

[✩ @ashenvows]

i pour myself out and expect the universe to make something of my insides.

[✩ @ashenvows]

i’m desperate for you to come alive and remind me what regret feels like.

[✩ @ashenvows]

i turn to you like an empty casket and expect you to fill the space.

[✩ @ashenvows]

there’s no end to this wildfire when you’re the reason i’m ablaze.
