conversations

sipping your soul like soda
i poured you into a glass
and drank every drop of your nectar
until i was intoxicated
unable to stand
i stumbled into the deepest part of your bosom
and allowed your heartbeat to sing a lullaby
awaken by your words
i wanted to touch your thoughts
so i allowed you to whisper softly into my soul
every word caressed my skin
until
it blended with my existence
we became one
captivated by every syllable
i lay still
trying to contain my every emotion
until
i
i
i
couldnt think straight
my only concern
was making sure our conversation wasnt one sided
so i whispered your words back into you
each phrase taking its time
to sail towards your heart
unsure if you could hear me
i looked up into your eyes
but before i could speak any louder
you
you
you
smiled
nodded
and told me that you understand

lying to myself

i
every since the last time i
tired to walk away
i
find myself
gazing into my soul
reading my mistakes
like chapters in a book that is still being written
i
every since the last time i
said that we couldn't be
i
find myself
wondering what if
love wasnt so complicated
could we just be
i
every since the last time i
said that it couldnt happen again
i
keep lying to myself
convincing the world that i dont miss the opportunity to make you smile
i
damn
i
