Fallen From Grace When I finally fell, arms outstretched to you, did you even think about reaching out to catch me? Jade replaced your eyes and you were no longer who I knew. Rebellion burned in your face like the stars burned my skin. Yet I am the one who fell. I am the rebel now. Will you ever tell father the truth? Your hands were the blood stained ones that tore goodness away. You spoke as quietly as the sky, but looked just as fierce under the clouds. My heart beat with yours like smoke and fire but we burned until only ashes remained. Were you the coals that burnt the world to the ground? Oh but brother, I didn't fall I soared. (There is a certain freedom in letting go when the only choice is to hold on.) I dripped in blood and tears and love and everything human. Every breath I took was free. When the heavens dripped with blood did you think of me? They call me the sinner now, the one who fell from grace. Sin is #life and it boils in my veins. I will bring the sin to you, I will claw down the heavens and bring you true light. You call this hell but I have never felt so free.

Change You were everything, and then you became just something, and then one day I looked at you and you were nothing. Its terrifying that a heart is so trivial, especially my own. Nothing changed yet here we are.

In Every Way Do you ever just look at a person; someone you probably see every day, but in that moment there's a certain light cast over them, or they're laughing with their eyes closed with nothing but bliss on their face, and you just think "They are so beautiful." And not just physically but in every way possible. The way they hold themselves, they way the roll their eyes, or wink really badly, or snort when they laugh. Because that's you for me. Except with you it's not a rare occurance in time, it's every single moment. It's like you stole all the awe in the room.

Pieces Of Me I told you I would break you I said I was no good But you looked right at me You said "with eyes like that I doubt you have ever done a bad thing" And I told you I was the worst kind of person And you just smiled You said if I was the worst The world must be A beautiful place. But I'll make you fall in love On the highest mountains, And all the most beautiful places. I'll kiss you on the roof In the middle of the night So even when I'm gone The night will always be ours, And you will never forget the stardust on our lips. I'll kiss your cheek In the orange light of morning And I'll run, leaving nothing behind Except a piece of my heart, Tucked in the gaps between your ribs, Something you'll always feel, Without ever knowing why. When you see me again, Weeks, months, years later, You will stare at me with eyes that scream "why?" And my tears will remind you Of the day I warned you; The day I said "one day this will all break" When you just laughed And said I was nothing close to broken. You were right I'm not broken. I never was It's not that I didn't care But people are fragile, broken things And I can't be what you need My soul aches to leave Even as my heart whispers to stay But all beautiful things must die And god, this was beautiful

Shooting Star I fell in love with a shooting star Burning, bright, beautiful from afar But who knew shooting stars Were hurtling into nothingness Consumed by flame And who knew that after you I would never be the same
