and perhaps i dream of collapsing in your arms tonight and within the written realms we spin tales upon our hands while lips reveal raw memoirs… pieces buried from light unwind beneath melted whispers quietly tremble upon sweet flesh

abrokensomething:
there are nights where thinking about slipping into the warmth of your embrace as my only clothing stirs me from sleep an entire day with each other, resting within our hearts framing two bodies, molding as one until endings close in a moonlight glow but your image is fading, the traces of your eyes slowly disappear i try to conjure up the one afternoon where you told me you...
