If I could,
I would nail these hands to the edges of stars,
I would sacrifice this body to the sky
Hoping it resurrected someone spiteful enough to not care about you any more.

Staple me to a cross,
Pierce my side with a broken promise
And I will bleed all the crippled reasons why you deserve one more chance.

Loving you is the last thing that I felt really good at.

You wanna know how I got these scars?
See I ripped every last piece of you out of my smile.

I dipped my hands into forever,
I touched you infinity,
Treated you as if you were the last molecule of oxygen inside of a gas chamber,
I was good to you.

You wanna know how I got these scars?
See I swallowed my pride,
And then it clawed its way out of my mouth.

I realised that I was never really your boyfriend,
I was just your fucking height man.

If I could,

I would tie your arms to a daydream
And then auction you off to my fondest memories.

See I wrote this poem in my own spinal fluid,
I put it on the backbone of a white flag
so before you read it you’ll already know that I’ve given up.
I’ll just keep you here.
Shackled to the most important chapter of my life story
pressed into the basement of my eyelids l
ike liquid salvation
so I remember you beautiful
with amazing underneath your wings and an orchid smile,
you gorgeous earthquake.
You cracked hourglass with sand spilling from behind your ribs,
you wasted my time
How dare you linger on my lips and then kiss me like a stuttering apology
with excuses stapled to the roof of your mouth.
I still remember you like a dream tattooed to the inner walls of a long term memory
but some days I wonder if you existed at all.
And of course, you wanna know how I got these scars.
I got these scars the day I fell in love with you.
I landed face first.

To the random dude who started dating my ex girlfriend two days after we broke up - yes, I saw that shit on Facebook. Now when I realised that you were in a relationship with the girl that I thought I would someday spend the rest of my life with, I walked outside, I said to myself “there is no way Ashton Kutcher is gonna catch me off guard”. I waited 45 minutes, and then I realised that there hasn’t been a new episode of Punk’d in damn near four years. So I guess I’m the only practical joke in this entire situation.
One
The first time I saw you and her in a picture
I wanted to take my entire arm,
Shove it inside of the computer
And snatch the happiness right off of your face.

If I ever see you in the street
I’m probably gonna punch you in the throat.

I apologise in advance.
And I know- I know that it makes no sense to have this much anger towards a man that I've never actually met face-to-face,
But my definition of love is being robbed in an alley
Eight times in a row and hoping there is
Something about today that makes all of this different.
There is nothing logical about cutting off the most important parts of yourself and then putting them inside of hands that shake, that tremble, that crack like a Haitian sidewalk.

There is nothing rational about love.
Your love stutters when it gets nervous,
Your love trips over its own shoelaces.
Love is clumsy,
And my heart refuses to wear a helmet.

Cupid is fucking irresponsible
And I’m tired of him using me for target practice.

But what exactly do you do on days
