ONE

‘ hold on for a minute. ’ ‘ i believe that we can fix this over time. ’ ‘ every imperfection is a lie, or at least an interruption. ’ ‘ i’m not saying perfect exists in this life, but we’ll only know for certain if we try. ’ ‘ i want to write a song worth singing. ’ ‘ the list goes on forever of all the ways i could be better. ’ ‘ …as if i could earn god’s favor given time, or at least “congratulations.” ’ ‘ now, i have learned my lesson. ’ ‘ the price of this so-called perfection is everything. ’ ‘ i’ve spent my whole life searching desperately. ’ ‘ i’ll hold it all more loosely, and yet somehow much more dearly. ’

TWO

‘ sweetheart, you look a little tired. ’ ‘ you look a little tired. ’ ‘ when did you last eat? ’ ‘ come in and make yourself right at home, stay as long as you need. ’ ‘ is something wrong? if something’s wrong, you can count on me. ’ ‘ you know i’ll take my heart clean apart if it helps yours beat. ’ ‘ it’s okay if you can’t find the words. ’ ‘ let me take this weight off of your shoulders. ’ ‘ i will love you with every single thing i have. ’ ‘ i will love you without any strings attached. ’ ‘ it’s okay if you can’t catch your breath; you can take the oxygen straight out of my own chest. ’ ‘ no, i don’t want to talk about myself. ’ ‘ i just want to build you up until you’re good as new. ’ ‘ maybe one day i’ll get around to fixing myself, too. ’ ‘ i don’t even know where to start. i’m already tired of trying to recall when it all fell apart. ’ ‘ i just want to love you well. i just want to learn how, somehow, to be loved myself. ’ ‘ what a privilege it is to love, a great honor to hold you up. ’

THREE

‘ maybe i’ve done enough. ’ ‘ your golden child grew up. ’ ‘ maybe this trophy isn’t real love, and with or without it, i’m good enough. ’ ‘ for the first time, i see an image of my brokenness that’s utterly worth of love. ’ ‘ i finally see myself through the eyes of no one else. ’ ‘ i play the role of anyone but me. ’ ‘ i finally see myself: unabridged and overwhelmed, a mess of a story i’m ashamed to tell. ’ ‘ i only want what’s real. i want to let my heart feel what it feels. ’

FOUR

‘ i’m turning out the lights. ’ ‘ i’m turning out the lights to remember how to see until a renaissance takes place, and resuscitates the color of paint and divinity. ’ ‘ god hid the building blocks of every beautiful thing. ’ ‘ i can’t help but think that ordinary has swallowed the key. ’ ‘ bodies fashioned out of dirt and dust, and for a moment, we get to be glorious: ice sculptures adorned in light, sand castles built tall in between the tides. ’ ‘ maybe i’m hiding behind metaphor. ’ ‘ maybe my heart needs to break to be sure. ’ ‘ one day i’ll wear it all on my sleeve: the insignificant with the sacred unique. ’ ‘ i’ve fallen in love with a ghost. ’ ‘ i lost my balance when i needed it most. ’ ‘ this blurry photograph is proof. of what, i’m not sure, but it feels like truth. ’ ‘ it’s been forever since i came up for air. ’ ‘ i’m determined to find authenticity only poetry could even begin to try to describe. ’ ‘ what if we already are who we’ve been dying to become? ’ ‘ in certainly light, i can plainly see a reflection of magnificence hidden in you. ’

FIVE

‘ i want to watch the universe expand. ’ ‘ something gets lost from a safe distance, and now i can’t put my mind to rest. ’ ‘ i can’t help but second-guess living behind this one-way mirror. ’ ‘ a white flag waves in the dark between my head and my heart. ’ ‘ my armor falls apart as if i could let myself be seen, even deeply known. ’

SIX

‘ i had the most vivid dream… ’ ‘ my mind was heavy. ’ ‘ i woke up so worried that the angels let go. ’ ‘ i’m so tired of being afraid. ’ ‘ what would it feel like to put this baggage down? ’ ‘ if i’m being honest, i’m not sure i’d know how. ’ ‘ i want to take shelter, but i’m ready to fight. ’ ‘ maybe i’m stronger than i realize. ’ ‘ i choose to believe that i was made to become a sanctuary. ’ ‘ fear won’t go away, but i can keep it at bay. ’ ‘ i’ll learn to breathe deep and make peace with the stars. ’ ‘ is it courage or faith to show up every day? to trust that there will be light always waiting behind even the darkest of nights? ’ ‘ no matter what, somehow we’ll be okay. ’

SEVEN

‘ how nice it’d be, if we could try everything. ’ ‘ let’s make a list and just begin. ’ ‘ what about danger? what about risk? ’ ‘ let’s climb the mountain before we cross that bridge. ’ ‘ i’m restless for whatever comes next. ’ ‘ how wonderful to see a smile on your face. ’ ‘ i’ll find the silver lining no matter what the price. ’ ‘ i’m hungry for whatever comes next. ’ ‘ it feels like sinking when i’m standing in one place. ’ ‘ when everything feels heavy, i’ve learned to travel light. ’ ‘ i want to be here. truly. be. here. ’ ‘ i want to make room to love you through and through, and through the slow and barren seasons too. ’

EIGHT

‘ i remember the minute, it’s like a switch was flipped: i was just a kid who grew up strong enough to pick this armor up, and suddenly it fit. ’ ‘ that was so long ago. ’ ‘ i was little, i was weak, and perfectly naive, and i grew up too quick. ’ ‘ you won’t see all that i have to lose, and all i’ve lost in the fight to protect it. ’ ‘ i won’t let you in, i swore: never again. ’ ‘ i can’t afford… no, i refuse to be rejected. ’ ‘ i want to break these bones until they’re better. i want to break them right, and feel alive. ’ ‘ you were wrong: my healing needed more than time. ’ ‘ when i see fragile things, helpless things, broken things, i see the familiar. ’ ‘ now i’m a broken mirror. ’ ‘ i can’t afford to let myself be blindsided. ’ ‘ i’m standing guard. ’ ‘ i’m falling apart, and all i want is to trust you. ’ ‘ show me how to lay my sword down for long enough to let you through. ’ ‘ here i am: pry me open. what do you want to know? ’ ‘ i’m just a kid who grew up scared enough to hold the door shut and bury my innoncence. but here’s a map, here’s a shovel; here’s my achilles heel. ’ ‘ i’m all in, palms out: i’m at your mercy now. ’ ‘ i will pull my heart up to the surface. ’ ‘ i’ll give all i have: i’ll give my blood, give my sweat. ’ ‘ i’m shattered porcelain, glued back together again: invincible like i’ve never been. ’

naturally these are shippy and soft and i'm honestly so honored that someone asked and trusted me to do these, so i hope y'all enjoy them just as much as i enjoyed writing them!

from the grump

" i know i can be an asshole, but... you always see the good in me. "

" only YOU could convince me to do something like this! "

" don't make this weird, but... i saw this in the store. figured you'd like it. "

" nobody's ever made me feel the way you do. "

" you're so full of light... and i'm terrified that i'll be the one who quenches it. "

" why do you stick around with a misery-guts like me? "

" you're the lighthouse in the fog, guiding me to shore... "

" i'm trying so hard, but... i can't stop myself from falling in love with you. "

" i love you... oh, damn it, don't look at me, i'm all red... "

" i don't really smile much. not unless you're around, it seems. "

" no. no way, no way in hell am i doing that. no! no... aw, fine... "

" how are you so happy all the time? "

" oh jeez... nobody's ever made me laugh like that in a long, long time. "

" i don't think i wanna know a world without your smiles. "

" i never feel like this grumpy asshole when you're around. i feel like... me. the real me... "

" hey, now... i'm not going anywhere. i'm gonna stay right here. right with you. "

" whoa... hey, now, who made you cry? where'd they go? "

" don't make a big deal out of this. you like hugs, right? so... here's a hug. "

" um... if you don't mind, i think i'd like a hug now. if that's okay... "

" the world just... feels right. when you're with me. "

from the sunshine

" i love it when you smile! i wish you'd do it all the time... "

" you have a really good smile, you know that? "

" see? i knew there was a soft heart under all that grumbling! "

" admit it. you had FUN today! "

" i want to know you. the REAL you. so let's go somewhere that makes you feel happy. "

" you can't get rid of me that easily. i'm gonna be here every day to remind you how wonderful you are! "

" you know me. you... you see me. i'm never totally myself unless i'm with you. "

" everyone else always sees this ridiculously happy, over excited, naive little baby who needs protecting. but... never you. you've always seen the real me. i guess that's what i love the most about you. "

" why is it so damn difficult for you to believe you're worthy of love? "

" you make me smile. and laugh. i feel happy when i'm with you! is that so hard to believe? "

" don't be so stubborn! take my coat/scarf! "

" come on! dance with me! "

" who'd have thought you'd be such a softie! "

" your smiles are like shooting stars. really rare, and really beautiful. "

" don't go. please? just... we can share the bed. i just don't want to be alone right now, if you don't mind... "

" we all have our flaws. you stayed with me in spite of mine. now i'm doing the same... "

" we're two sides of the same coin. right? "

" well, they do say opposites attract... "
