1 intrusive thoughts |
2 whispers |
3 the more thought i give it |
4 not enough |
5 lie awake mid night |
6 guarding her mind |
7 falling to the floor |
8 sunbeams on your chest |
9 scabs on my fingers |
10 tape my mouth shut |
11 alone to my thoughts |
12 he laughs |
13 worst night of my life |
14 new thoughts, old patterns |
15 balcony confrontation |
16 free will |
17 steal candy |
18 I turn the key |
19 mind racing |
20 stress clean |
21 dead flowers |
22 thoughts run wild |
23 a new reality |
24 his arm hangs |
25 bite my tongue |
26 in a crowded room |
27 they giggle |
28 quiet classroom |
29 ca'nt seem to erase |
30 the clouds swirl |
31 one person |
32 sun and moon |
33 door opening |
34 driving at midnight
|
35 heart growing fonder |
36 two cold weathers |
37 sleep through alarms |
38 my first job |
39 green toothbrush |
40 new girlfriend |
41 she called it |
42 breathe in |
43 sleeping roommate |
44 over a week of being apart |
45 turning the thermostat down |
46 arm hole by arm hole |
47 wide awake tonight |
48 post-argument |
49 campfire stories |
50 spring break road trip |
51 tap tap tap |
52 we pick a spot of freshly dried grass |
53 Sunday sunrise— |
54 homework in my room |
55 bar light dims |
56 towel on the door |
57 rooftop panic |
58 syncing my heart |
59 still in our pajamas |
60 in love with |
61 money plate |
62 twin size bed |
63 summer sun |
64 silence between us |
65 my hero |
66 hospital bed |
67 pink polka-dot |
68 New Year’s Eve |
69 holding the football |
70 sprint behind the television |
71 bathroom stall |
72 your fingerprints |
