really-speak-your-mind:

I should’ve told myself
From the first moment
That it was never going to happen
I could’ve sworn when you looked at me before
There was something in your eyes
Like you wanted to know more

But when you look at me now
There’s nothing there
And I swear you can tell
That I wished for the spark
That was blown away
With the wind, it
Got carried away
Like my thoughts
And now there is
Nothing

-Nothing - e.g.k

silver-afternoons:

Your arms were not useless before they found a lovers touch
you have always had the power to rip mountains from the seams
which bind them to this earth, rest ranges upon your shoulders
to carry them home with you 

Do not let love become the only air
which feeds the fire sleeping beneath your ribcage
your bones growing haphazardly around it 
trying to keep it from bursting out your chest,
it redirects through your throat and through your fingertips 

Do not let love be the only force which turns your hands into fists
some things are stronger than a heartbeat 
pounding heavily beneath a bare chest 
your ear pressed to his skin, he is here, he is real, and breathing and warm
you sink further into him just to be sure
but the tides crashing upon the shore will always be louder, more pressing
do not let him fool you into thinking otherwise
