SlumberCloud9

Dear first love,
I want to sleep on a cloud
And drizzle my love on you
And I want to hop on the stones and cross the river on my toes

 Dear somebody,
I want to stretch on top of the mountain and chase an eerie butterfly
Will you catch me and walk me down the valley?
Will you float on a lotus leaf with me?

 Dear charming,
I write you letters you can't read with my magical pen every now and then
Seal it with some fairy dust and send it through the cherubs
I've hung an invisible dream catcher above your head
To keep the nightmares away

 Dearest first love,
Will you sleep on a cloud with me,
Kiss the stars goodnight and put me to sleep again?

Everything I Now Am

I am now a bundle a bundle of empty goodbyes and unused condoms I am remnants of lovers who didn't kiss me goodbye I am now the songs I didn't sing for the ones who pleaded me I am now the tears that hide under my pillows till the alarm clock screams I am the the calls I never returned and the flights I took to all the cities to save a love from drowning in alcohol I am the cheesecakes I baked to win back the love I lost to insecurity through the stomachs of his friends I am the lies I lied to the last page of my notebooks all because my heart couldn't decide which part of my body needed more blood. I am them all, I am all my mistakes, I am a bundle a bundle waiting to be undone and re-distributed to those who should've loved me better.
