You Can’t Always Blame Yourself When The Pieces Don’t Fit

You have to understand that sometimes you can do everything in your power to make something happen, and it’s just not meant to be. You can give yourself to a person, to a circumstance, to a situation, and end up empty, simply because it wasn’t meant for you.

I Look For You In The Sky

Sometimes I imagine the way your lips
always tasted like both freedom
and familiarity and how your hands
carved new beginnings into my skin.
