BLAIR TRUESDELL

broken bottle after broken string the fires embers gasp for air as i gasp for your love shortness of breathe we collide collapse and escape

in the morning looking at my finger prints they tell me stories of our time together and the water trickles from your sleepless eyes into the cracks of your lips like pleasure by numbers

aloud

I'm in love with no one other than change even the pennies they're prettier with jagged edges

it's all a blur now.

I stayed up to watch the sunrise the sunlight peaked through as yellow as your teeth through the stained glass I realize that you are the only one I need and that this feeling comes once stays once and goes once

transforming to blend with the scars

change doesn't have to make cents to anyone but you.

alcohol is what's for dinner

you go through all of the motions and you realize you are not yourself

i've been contemplating running with you.

exiled

dying to reach you.

find what you love and let it take hold of you.

he asked me how i was doing "just peachy." i said as i ran away laughing; laughing so hard, that i was falling on myself. looking back, from in between my legs. my knuckles are bruised.

please don't leave.
