Breathe, Aly, breathe
This isn't a love poem.
No, rather this is a: I think about you constantly and its getting kind of ridiculous because you are prefect for me and I want to spend every moment of my life with you regardless of the cost and insanity because you are the most amazing person that I have ever met accidently and it scares and excites me to the point of trembling ecstasy poem.
"Breathe, Aly, breathe". You've got me talking so fast I can't think. I keep forgetting to breathe because every moment with you feels simultaneously like one millisecond and infinity. Got to get it tattooed on my wrist, "breathe, Aly, breathe" cause I forget how to f
You once said something sort of sweet about the girl with a bum shoulder,
She was about half the size of you and me but I swear that she was older.
We walked down to the old-folks home and stayed there for an hour,
Where we gave her back the memories that should have been much warmer.
I caught the bus down on Holly Street and it was awfully rainy
Looked through the glass of sail and mast and I saw you look back at me
We were traveling in opposites but my thoughts have always been hazy
Two by two we partner up and then I start perspirating
I want to know how you came upon this home with quite so little money
Heard a man up no
I wish that I could love you like my mommy did me
But that woman's the shit and I must admit, my heart's lacking a little vacancy
Cause you see that, she and me, have been to the edge of hell and back
My Aunt Terri died , not of a heart attack
But cancer, buried deep inside her chest
Flowed through her blood and settled in her breast
A slow sad sedation of the life my momma knew best
Sister, lost her virginity too young and got more baby daddy drama than there ever should be
My Momma, couldn't go to away to college cause her big sister was a sinner
My Momma, couldn't pick out her own clothes cause her mother was bitter
My Momma, wat

This is a Tragic Love Poem
I saw you sitting on the stairs today,
With a bouquet of flowers wedged in your armpit, soaking up your nervous sweat.
And since those flowers were not for me, I found it extremely acceptable
To walk right past you, headphones in ears, not acknowledging your existence
On the stairs
You had a suit on, poor bastard, the kind you probably bought for prom and haven't worn since
Well, since today. And it's a little big around your stomach,
because you lost the freshmen 15 and you look exactly that
The 'And' needs to stay
Done everything but changed my name
Your tie is pink
I notice this before I notice the roses
I've always deteste
Artemis
Ink stains your finger tips
But I've got such loose lips
That I can't help but spill a little on you
I tied your scarf up into a noose
And wrapped it around my neck to distance the cold
Took a sip of tea and sat next to the radiator
Three times you've come a' knocking
On the brittle bones that surround my chest cavity
Momma said all of my teeth are sweet
I kick at you like the fat on my thighs
Strong and sturdy
No matter how hard I try, I can get rid of you
Little bits of twine fall loose from your hair
Strands of silver and white
Persephone
I don't like the way you look at me
When I am sitting atop your naked hips
I have to believe
That someday it will just be you and me
Sailing through this storm together
Our hands tied by something stronger than gold
I have to believe
That all the waiting will pay off
And we can have a life together, whatever that means
Full of arguments and crying
And long periods of time when we refuse to say a word to each other
With nights spent alone and stubbornly expecting
The other to say
"I'm ready,"
I have to believe
In umbrellas and seatbelts
And trust that the train will eventually come again
Filled to the brim with people on similar missions
Although they may not know it
Distracted by the less
I have never wanted so much as a kiss
Long and ever lasting
Over time I've seen the sun set and rise
Veiled by tears and snow
Every time the sun caressed and melts the horizon
You have been there
On the pane of my window
Under the lid of my eye
***
I really don't know what to say to you
I don't know how to let you in
Let you know how I feel
Know how I love you
Because I do
Love you
Really

'"I will never forget the way you look at midnight"
Walking away, the creak in your sneakers cover dusty curtains
And fields of wheat, scorched down to ash and entryways
I cannot replace your absent mind
Nor the fit of your lip into the bitter hallow of my fist
Separating flesh from feeling
Fingering sad salty sedation
Pacing across potential drawbridges
When I close my eyes - I cannot see -
And the scent of your morning breath
Pulls me from a hypothetical slumber
The face staring back at me will always be fair
In a line-up I would lie, my monstrous smile
Pretend you are a stranger
"Hello, stranger
Won't you tell me which
Is it she who brings your lids together and curls up the corners of your lips?
Is it she who you see besides your reflection, when you wake up from dream's kiss?
Is it she who holds your thoughts when the sounds die and the pictures blur?
While I paint my face and dance for your attention, are you lost in a world of her?
