i probably mentioned this before, but i love these poems because of the story arc to them. reading them back now and watching the progression unfold is super fun to me :) let me know what you guys think of this little collection so far! p.s. check out my ONC novella!!

i have never been
good
at putting my
thoughts into words
at least not into
words that i say
i keep my emotions
all bottled up
a cork in the
top
the way there seems
to be a cork in my
mouth
when i want to
speak up
when i
talk to you
my tongue is
tied
and butterflies
run wild
in my veins
like a
storm
i can hear
every
pounding
beat
of my heart
like
thunder
or a
hurricane
an earthquake
your eyes are
otherworldly
and your smile
is ethereal
i think i'm
in love with you
but i'd never
say it
i'd just hide it
watch you
fall in love
with some other
girl or guy
and watch you
slip away
through my
fingers
and i wouldn't even
try
to keep you
caged
with me
because you
deserve to
fly free
like swans
when they're
quite finished
with their
afternoon
at the lake
and like
lovers
after
the end
of the story
i write
everything
i've ever wanted to
say to you
and sometimes
you read it
i wish you
knew
that all i can
think about
is you
i wish you knew
that all i can
write about
is you
my mind is
full
of jumbled
thoughts
the way i want
our jumbled
limbs
to look on
summer
afternoons
and winter
mornings
i want to
love you
until i die
and i'll die
first
because i know
that i can't
live
without you
i wish you
knew
everything
i wanted to
say to you
and i wish you
loved me
i hope that
when you pick
daisies
you think of
my smile
and i hope that
when you
look at me
you realize
all of the
things
i never said
