walls are made of sturdy stuff while I am simply frail my beauty was beyond compare but those were days when you were not here

When the butterflies settle Into the the craters in my bones Bury me deep within earths womb

L*VE

cracked makeup smiles and pink plastic shoes

full coverage shadow in three different blues

you’re pretty in pictures but in here we’re off key

I know what you’d say but to me love's not free

pretenses up hoping boredom will get you

smoking my dreams when your heartbeat does go true

gorgeous and lovely so most here would have you

falling you chose me as one of your small few

a stone in your fire cracking slowly but surely

I wish for a feeling you come to so purely

butterflies choking on the smoke from my kiss

you’d never notice wrapped up in your bliss

I’ll crush you hard like a bug in my way

you wanted all but I’ll tell you to stray

you would have been my obedient pet

catching your feelings in a butterfly net

I pray to god though there’s nothing above

drinking my fears in this artificial love

--

When the butterflies settle and the flood of emotions dwindles down

When the intense infatuation and nervous excitement wears out

When the shy tongue-tied blushes vanish and the magnetic attraction is gone

When the perennial daydreaming has dissolved and reality once more takes its hold

Then all that is left is you and me

The truth of what we share

The strength of what we build

The unvarnished essence of who we are

That will bind us together or keep us apart

Press crescent moons

Into my neck

Hands trace stars

Along my spine

Burn as if they are

Shooting

Breathe as if we

Are running

Across the sun

Silhouetted bodies

Entangled in the

Absence of light

For a moment

Perfection takes form

A pure circle encompassing

Everything

Yet nothing

Epitome of ardor

Cannot last

Passion dims in

Returning light

Erases stars through

Half-closed blinds
