Life is about taking chances
Looking in someone's eyes
And watch how time stands still
Is about holding someone's hand
And just feel protected
Is to feel what you're meant to feel
To hurt what you're meant to hurt
To save what can't be saved
Life is about crying and laughing
Life is about greif and love
Life is about to be yourself
And never let go
Life is about taking chances

Is to feel what you're meant to feel
To hurt what you're meant to hurt
To save what can't be saved
Life is about crying and laughing
Life is about greif and love
Life is about to be yourself
And never let go

You could've been the girl who changed me.
I've fallen down and fallen apart enough times that it gets hard to remember, but sometimes I study my scars in the sunlight and trace the patterns back through time. I spend my mornings living in memories, reliving the places I've scuffed myself, and I've found that romance is better in hindsight. Her kisses are sweeter tinged with nostalgia, and it almost feels like I'm whole again when I'm thinking of the dents she put in my pulse and smoothing out the wrinkles she left in my resolve. For a moment, there's equilibrium, but then the sun is setting and I'm disoriented, dropping fragments of myself

rigid flesh until it comes away gray with dust.

You didnt send my heartbeat into a frenzy the first time I saw you. It was a month or two before I started feeling the little palpitations inside my chest and made sure that my hand accidentally brushed against yours every now and then.
(I wanted to make sure you got used to the feeling of my atoms colliding with yours.)
I told myself it was stupid and simply physical. You werent pulling my heart strings, you were toying with my belt buckle by smiling at me across the room and asking me to spend time with you on a Saturday afternoon. I was sold by the time you pulled into my driveway a

100 sunday crosswords
this is a story of broken pieces
letting go feature by feature;
shattered pieces, ice rain,
and something blacker than sadness
turning from snowfall to knives
and the scarlet ground that follows.
this is about knowing when to stop
but never knowing the time.
because fingers snap louder in the cold,
they shiver and shake, shiver and shake
until the tremours turn to bone
and you feel it when they break.
a century's warning isn't enough to prepare for an earthquake;
a thousand years is still a blink when the last sinews
split.
there is nothing welcome about the open air
and how it bites your exposed skin,
its teeth sharpen and g
