Bones

The image shows a black background with a green hand caressing the palm of yellow's in a gentle manner. Their nails painted neon pink.

I care for you

In a way that seeks no return

As if it were etched deep into my bone

You will always have a home.

Hair

The image shows a black background with yellow person brushing their hands through strands of hair, nails painted neon blue. Their hair is long and neon pink and they are wearing a green bra.

Let me brush your hair

Strand by strand

They intertwine with mine as I lean down.

And if I comb this entire lifetime

I hope the gods will allow us to meet

In each and every lifetime.

Roam

The image shows a black background with parts of a naked, green person sitting down with their hands leaning on their left knee, nails painted neon pink.

The scent of you lingers on my clothes

After lying under the blanket

The smell of you

Reminds me of the smell of home

Even though I used to find it cumbersome

I guess we’re all looking for a home

So in this lifetime we forever roam.

Feel

The image shows a black background with a blue hand holding onto pink's hand, stretching it above. Their nails are both painted neon yellow.

I feel as though I can’t get enough of you.

As if I want to sink underneath your skin,

And feel your beating heart in my palm.

Like your whole existence was made for someone like me

And your eyes were made just for me to see.

The same way I was made for you to see

Or the way that I came to be.

Part

The image shows a black background with a pink hand at the centre. The hand is held up with fingers spread out as if to reach for something above it. The nails are painted neon yellow.

At times I think I’m selfish.

If everything were to end,

But we can stop it from happening,

If it means we would be eternally apart

I would rather let it burn down

Than for us to part.

Far away

The image shows a black background with a pair of pink hands curved in motion as if holding someone's face in front of them - their nails painted neon yellow.

I’m being greedy, I know

But suddenly I want to see your face show

Though I’ve never even seen it so

I feel your hurt so far away

And it makes me wish I could take that pain away.

Hold

The image shows a black background with a pair of green hands holding onto one another, fingers interlocked with neon blue nails.

I’ll hold you like you haven’t been held.

Gently as you sleep.

I’d like to tell you how my feelings are unparalleled,

But despite my writings, I’d rather things like that be felt

Because I’ve heard so many words in the past

To find that nothing has lasted

So I won’t take this for granted

This is just me trying to be candid.

Vain

The image shows a black background with a pair of pink hands, fingers interlocking. The left arm is held over at the top, as if leaning on a head. Their nails painted neon yellow.

Pain is dreaming of you

Over and over and over again.

I’m trying to wash off this stain

But it bleeds in vain.

Don’t appear in vain

I don’t want to see you ever again.

Jealousy

The image shows a black background with a pair of blue hands holding onto one another, leaning to the left with neon pink nails.

Jealousy is a terrible disease

But I can’t help but wonder

If she knows you like I do

When you’re nervous

Or when you’re pleased

I’m being pathetic but please don’t laugh

Whilst my heart is being cut in half

A day

The image shows a black background with a pair of blue hands and pink fingertips - one hand is leaning onto the wrist of the other.

Let’s wrap this up

And call it a day.

I’ve cried enough

And I’ve done more than enough

So please, let’s just call it a day.
