I find joy walking in the rain with you.
The wind brings a biting chill
And the water droplets sink into my clothes.
The sky is a flat, endless gray.
I moved to Utah without really knowing a soul
The only two people I knew were my grandpa and grandma and man they are old
One day I met Glory and learned her life story
She's my 39 old cousin and she was so kind
I look to the sky, there’s not a cloud in sight.
Our food,
That was so lovingly prepared by you,
Is taken from the basket and placed on the quilt.
Motions, often more than words, are shown
Emotions running deeper than ever
Feelings that are genuine, not taken by loan
Connections between the two cannot sever
As a child my mother always told me, "That's very unhealthy."
as I dumped sugar and sodium laden foods into my stomach.
She suggested I choose low-calorie meals, guided me to exercise,
Because I love you, trust is an absolute must.
Because I love you I can be strong and vulnerable;
I can be me, and not someone i think you may want to see.
I know that is what you love about me.
Worries worries worries
Who is he with?
Why didn’t he tell me where he was going?
Is he lying to me?
Pure love
the pure white dove
doesn't like hate
so it cannot relate
it only knows
those who love it so
the dove
does not shove
nor does it
hit one bit
In my darkest moment,
You were there to cradle me
Somehow you became my opponent
Preventing me from being free
You and I together
Perpetuated my pain
The way dark and stormy weather
Fear not, my dearest of them all
your words and thoughts
will be listened and cared for
not thrown in your face whenever we conflict
for this is our love
not an ownership
Fear not, my dearest of them all
your words and thoughts
will be listened and cared for
not thrown in your face whenever we conflict
for this is our love
not an ownership
A spell put over me
I did fall
I fell because I love you
Those dazzling eyes
That infectious smile
I love you
Drive safe
Make sure you eat
Look both ways
Turn up the heat.
Get plenty of sleep
Wear comfy socks
Brush your teeth
Turn all the locks.
Take a deep breath
Because I love you,
everything behind that fake facade.
It is not what is presented, as that is little more than a fraud.
My full support will always be with you.
You do not deserve to be mocked.
You are worth more than that.
People do not get to take your success from you.
You earned that.
You don’t judge me for my flaws, you take them into appreciation and pause
It may be the way you look at me or the way you make me feel
But inside I’m certain that you help me heal.
It is because of this,
Becuase I love you I...
Sneak up behind you
to give you a warm hug,
Go to the store
and buy your favorite food,
Give you a kiss
whenever we are seperated,
Never go to bed
arguing,
Old pictures in the album,
Which nobody touched for a long time.
Pieces of Memories in my mind,
Which lost their names a long time ago.

curled fingers and frustration,
I was once told I'd make someone else very happy
As if their happiness meant more than mine
As if i was put here
On this vast world
to make someone elses heart beat;
To make it race;
Because I love you---
When I am angry, I will not scream
Or build a wall between you and the world ( if you so much as see another person in a century it will be an act of god )
Why?
You forgive
Even when I don't deserve it
You give
When I need it
You hold me
But never things against me
When I am mad
You are calm
I wonder why
A tribute to my grandma’s strength, my grandpa’s battle with Alzheimer’s, and their lesson on what love really is.
I am you and you are me.
My best friend,
you are something from a dream.
When you laugh,
my heart smiles,
When your heart aches,
I would walk miles,
to fight your fears,
To be numb was always the safest route:there were no alternates, no endangering side roads,a straight runway- avoidance of any emotion. I did not think I wanted to change,
Because I love you
I'll never let you face anything alone
Because I love you
I'll remember ever milestone
Because I love you
he looked me in the eyes and
told me please don't cry
"it was only this one time
i'd never re-commit this crime"
it's been three years since
still every time i hear his name, i wince
Her fingers run through my head as we lay in bed
Braids make their way from her hands to my hair
Even though it is too short for them to stay
Another day, another smile
Yesterday she laughed
Last night she stayed awake
After all, he was why
After talking to her, he didn't want to stop
Last thing he wanted was for her to cry
and so I fell in love with the way he fell asleep at night
the way he breathed unevenly
the annoying way he held me captive -
during every phone call
the way he made me late to meetings
the way he laughed
I'm another casualty to the weapon of love.
The trigger pulled by joined hands.
Claims of compassion suffocating my every breath,
Nearly as strong as the words of manipulation.
"You're my everything"
because I love you,
I respect you
because I love you,
I won't just say sorry after a push
ill go to my anger management group
because I love you,
I won't say that you've got to let Joshua go
I love watching you grow and become the amazing individual that you are,
I love watching you become independent and learn from your experiences,
Because I love you
I don’t say I love you
I know you can’t say it back right now.
Right now
The words are stuck inside our throats
Like stones.
The Seas
And the Skies
The color
In his eyes
Your hue makes me warm
You’re a thunderstorm
He holds the moon dear
Warm mouths intertwining
Heated by the yellow sun
Melting into one
It was beginning to be
Too much Too fast
for Sofia
Last night you came over
Slept over
On a school night
The next morning
We walked in hand in hand
And I got looks from my friends
If you are a seedlet my love be your water,andyour sun.I know that you are destinedto rise,and I am devotedto your growthbecause,I love you. And I'd wishfor you,to bloom,into a flower.
A healthy relationship
is butterflies of joy and excitement
not fear and sadness
A healthy relationship
is sharing my feelings, open and honest
not hiding everything so you don't get mad
It’s the little things….
Like the way you play with my hair to ease me to sleep,
Or how you brush it out of my face, look into my eyes, with yours so full of joy, before you kiss me.
I love who I am, I love who you are, I love who we are together;
Together as friends, together as one, sentient as two, in hopes of forever.
I love how we have grown as friends, maybe becoming even more;
Even silence is ecstasyYour heartbeat in my ear, a steady drum.Monumental or minimal calamitiesUntil my breathing levels,your fingers comb my hair. Your hand in mine, a rushed societal defianceBut you are unabashedly in love.Fierce pride in your
“Because I love you.”I mutter.
I’m not hungry.
The thought of food disgusts me.
I eat anyway.
“Because I love you.”
I whimper.
I’m curled in bed early.
I want to be near you
because I love you.
I give you space
because I love you.
I am always available
because I love you.
"Look at me beautiful," you say gently,
as you wipe away my tears,
or hold my shaking hands.
I look up to meet your eyes
flooding with love
flooding with concern
You taught me to wait
Because you said I love you back
You taught me that it was okay to accept apologies
When your actions were like a song stuck on a broken track.
Because I loved you
I am Spring, 2013
You were in a coma
Accidental drug overdose
I felt like I died
I am Fall, 2013
Things got better
For everyone but me
You see, I got worse
