Let's make
Big pots of chai
And write in our journals
With the best intentions
To better ourselves
Yet fail every time
And we laugh about it
But we keep on trying anyways
Cuz we're young, dumb and full of hope
And I hope we never change
Your words choke me
And your hands hold me
But in a good way.
You steal my breath
You live in my head
Perfectly imperfect
Just as you are.
Give me your kisses,
Sweet like honey.
I live for your nectar
Like a hungry bee
In love with flowers
In the sun
We burn away
Burning books just for fun
Because the stories, they changed
And we come as we are
And we swallow our pain
Cuz I smoked the last cigarette
And you said it's ok
We won't hide any longer
From this pain, and we prayed
In the darkness together
Sipping cups of sweet chai
Scratching words in our journals
Just today, just today.
Cuz you are my angel.
You are my weakness,
As we fall to our knees
And we beg for forgiveness.
Speaking words like caucophonies
And we're doing okay
I think we'll be fine
If we make it through today
Cross my heart, hope to die
Stick needles in my eyes.
The cuts in our mouths will heal
If we could only stop
Our tongues
From running them
Raw.
