These Notes

Something i started today, and, well, finished today. kind of a message to anyone who reads my stuff, namely the fine ladies out there.

I don’t write with a pencil,

No,

And I haven’t found a pen

That writes the right words

In years

So I’ve been writing in blood

My own blood

Blood spilling from my throat

That I cut myself

So I could finally get out these words

That wouldn’t come out my mouth

And on to these notes-

These ghostwrote handwritten

Cutthroat quotes

So full of emotion

In the lines they form

Like “baby I need you”

Like “daddy come save me”

Like “baby I love you,

You gotta believe me!”

 

And Like the veins they come from

these words have a pulse

and like the feelings that spawned them

these words are not false,

so if they’re for you

if you think they’re for you

if they could be for you

or they should be for you,

then don’t think that it makes them any less true.

Cause while you read this

Hear this

Feel this

You are who I’m talking to.

You are my first kiss

You’re who I got lost with

In absolute bliss

Catching snowflakes on our tongues

With the chilly night air in our lungs

Waiting for the New Year to come

Just days after Christmas.

You’re the woman I love

You’re the lady I lust

You’re my best friend’s girl

And someone I can trust.

But these words will mean nothing

If they’re not met halfway.

So Let them resonate

Let them circulate

Let them course through your veins

Through your brain to your heart

And when those butterflies start

Let them stay.

And let those feelings of doubt

Fade away.

Because while these words are so much more than words

They’ll never get off this page

Or leave this room

Until you open up and take them with you.

And wherever you’re going

I hope you take me too...

 

Author's Note

it's not very touched up, the beginning is pretty rough but i'm leaving it in there since i've had major writers block lately and that's what did it for me. so it's a progression of "well lets just try to write something" to "holy shit i can't stop writing about this!"

This had a musical quality that I enjoyed. A conversational hush, good for spoken word I imagine!
