1.
i drank her
silence like
liquor and it destroyed
me the same, 
but i fell for all of her,
hopelessly and endlessly.
my soul will always be lifted
when she walks into the room
and my blood will always dance
when her breath passes
through me.

2. she lit a cigarette
with bundles of tears
racing down her cheeks,
and after her lips somehow
found the strength to stretch
into a smile, i thought to 
myself; "sometimes, when
chaos burns like wildfires
around us: we have no other
choice but to fall in love
with the warmth.

3. 
you know what
truly aches all
that you are?
having so much
inside you
and not having the 
slightest clue
of how to pour
it out.
