i realized they were wrong about medusa’s stare.
your eyes don’t turn me to stone,
i just become too entranced by their hypnotizing beauty

Tomorrow is a new life, another day to face the world without your voice, sense and presence because sometimes I feel wasted without your touch.
When did it happen
And when did I know?
When I first saw your picture
Or heard your soft voice?
When your eyes first met mine
Or your laugh cast its spell?
Skin x Spirit: A Love Story
The skin I am most comfortable in
The reciporcal reality of it being
defining but divisive
accomodating but attractive
We fell in love in late spring
As cool wind nipped at our cheeks
we found warmth in each others bodies
Our love blossomed into the summer
Hot, sunny days
Walking trails hand in hand
Dpp and Babia, a love story so sweet,
Their bond, so strong, it's hard to beat.
Together they're a perfect pair,
A love like theirs, oh so rare.
Coffee breath mornings filled with quick good bye kisses and jingling keys
I miss you texts and emails that could’ve been meetings stuffed in between
Topped off with My soft asleep lover and me
Don't you find the concept interesting?
People grow so attached to other people
We depend on them throughout the day
They become our day, our night, our evening
Suddenly
It's time to call quits
I tell myself that I don't want anything more to do with you,
But it is hard to convince yourself of that after everything that we have been through.
I tell myself that I don't care whether or not you leave me on read,
Ich werde alle Glocken läuten
Für deinen Geburtstag
Ich werde aus meinen Taschen
Tell me the truth
tell me what i want to hear
i know all your lies, the ones in your eyes
I cannot keep living in fear -
Of the you that isnt really you
and the me that isnt really me
Last class of the day
Best and worst class of the day
Easiest and hardest class of the day
The class that we’re writing
The class we have to read
I sat at the corner of a coffee shopA cup of hot coffee, a cozy-cold day,Across the road, wearing a suitIs an old man, sitting beside a grave.I can't help but see what others ignore
Amore, mi sveglio questa bellissima fredda mattina di aprileForte come un leone in cattività, ma solo una cosaMi sta agitando: sei lontano da me e dalla mia isolaSei sola, assonnata e lontano dalla terra.
Like i'm here
But I'm not
Like someone cares
But they don't
Like I belong somewhere else
Anywhere but here
It always seems as if things come to you when you aren't looking for anything to occur,
And when things get hard, it can be very easy to keep longing for the way that they once were.
I saw everything psychedelic placed
Nothing functions out of place
Kings chosen are already know
And born as they should
Nothing will take the land
I love when a man is nervous to talk to me for the first time
Not in a masochistic way
Or a rude way
I just love the way they blush
Or the way they trip on their words
Or fidget with their fingers
On a summer day i met himWith his sparkling eyes, smooth talk and confident smilei could’nt do anything but fall for him
I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sor
I would love to tell you "take all the time you need, I'll be here"
I would really, really love to,
But I don't really know if I can.
Not like this.
Desert.
Dry.
Empty.
Lost.
Lonley.
I'm not asking for a bouquet of flowers on my step door every single day
I haven't asked for handwritten poems on the daily or for you to have to pay
I never asked for the moon, the sun, the mountains or the bay
I see the most incredible woman I have ever met.
You make me smile and laugh
Every time I see you and think about you.
I used to think that happy endings and
Dreams come true only happened in fairy tales.
I want to be the man
I see in your eyes
Every time you look at me.
The best is yet to be,
The last of life for which
The first was made.
Grow old along with me;
As I struggle to contain my emotions;
My heart is speaking to you
And I've come to realize how much I care for you.
I know we shared a lot
Except for our deepest feelings
All for one, one for all.
Can't have one without the other.
Pain, hurt, desire, love.
All for one, one for all.
Can’t have one without the other.
My heart sank when you told me of your decision.
You were supposed to be
The one who would love me
and take care of my heart.
Love denied once again.
I still feel the pain, hurt, and suffering
From past and present relationships.
Emotions,
too hard to hide
feeling,
sensitive to the touch
feeling these emotions that I have for you
makes me vulnerable
for I feel too deeply
i feel,
Like the sun and moon
endlessly chasing after one another
giving warmth, one moment
a piercing bone chilling cold in the next
i chase after you still
my voice reaches out,
but I am not heard
Call of the birds at sunrise
Is never unheard and if she’s
Laying with him otherwise
They don’t awaken in time
To bear the weight of risk
Constant exposure of
instant gratification,
that’s where we’ve drawn the line.
Where we are, where we’ve been;
then traveling further in time.
Why do you want to go?
I love you, many a times I told you so
Still you want to go and leave me alone
Then I won't stand in your way like a stone
Although I'll cry for you round-the-clock
l have decided
To let go
A hard road to go
I wish you were by my side
I will keep the fight
Times l say yes, times no
Hard for others to know
I will walk to see the light
So we strolled to the bed, beneath the sheet we rolled
Our bodies melt with warmth felt
The dangling emotions now tangling
We met as planned, the venue scanned
In the evening cool, beside the glistening pool
Amidst a scanty crowd, some in their panty
'Twas was a waking call and her voice was breaking
She said' my night wasn't sweet, today, let's meet
Let our needs gently proceed
My phone rang and 'twas her voice that sang
Sweetly the rhyme one on time
My ears tingled; the sound floats with flowery mingled
Call me in
Oh, dear, never fear
Bear in mind what joy to wear
Call me in
To your life, be the wife
Of my life, it will end the strife
A cigar stuck between your lips
Your hands on my hips, remembering the first kiss
The first day we ever looked in the same directionForgetting our imperfections, to see our true reflections
she left me in a meadow
and as i could not stand the silence
i ran
past the ancient groves
the secret place of lovers past
but as i was not welcome there
i ran more quickly past
My darling my darling
Oh, my sweat dear
You look ever so handsome
And fill me with cheer
When I do see you
My heart always flutters
I long to see you
Because you make my voice stutter
My darling my darling
Oh, my sweat dear
You look ever so handsome
And fill me with cheer
When I do see you
My heart always flutters
I long to see you
Because you make my voice stutter
My darling my darling
Oh, my sweat dear
You look ever so handsome
And fill me with cheer
When I do see you
My heart always flutters
I long to see you
Because you make my voice stutter
Do you want to?
Cause I do if you do
Let's jump in and not care what they think
Us, we aren't new
We've been through so much
And my love is true
There is a weakness in me.
A small glint
of a child not yet grown.
It lives in me,
And everything I am;
everything I do.
MAGIC CARPET RIDE
Come hear my heart
Let the sound take you away
Feel the melted kiss from yesterday....
Like a floating feather
On a magic carpet ride
Together
you
were an unexpected.
we were never supposed to be actual friends.
but mutally we fell,
got back up,
and tripped again.
you make me smile- even when it feels impossible.
thumbprints left on my inner thighs,
he opened me like his favorite passage.
watch the plot unfold
and skip right through to the climax.
So a thunderstorm
A really ugly fight
Four days of not talking
Maybe just another break
But we know that a break isn’t a break
Adrenaline boiling in my veins like hot molten hot lava or acid rain.
Once the seasons change and the heart heals, nothing will ever be the same.
How do I believe that or whole relationship was fake?
An act to get close to me, never give, only take.
I’ve done the research, such much sounds shockingly familiar.
Words described you to a tee, seems clear, yet unclear.
There is a sickness within Us, that gained control of Us. Took the lives of the best of Us, introducing Us to the worse in Us, destroying the trust we had between Us.
How, why, what, is this real, for real.
This wasnt apart of the deal.
For you I would rob, steal, even kill at will.
I want to get off this ride, going in circles like a ferris wheel.
That was the first time I didn't want to runThe first time I wanted to live it through,But I was caught up in my wishes and went blindThat I could no longer see the truth.
I've lost my position as Queen at the throne.
My king, my life, my home, all slipping away, gone.
Your loss, due to the fuck shit you be on.
Soon I will sit in emptiness, be isolated and alone.
What's your motive, what's your aime, what's in it for you to gain?
Things are adding up leading to more of the same pain.
It's insane to stay on this crazy train.
I should have just stayed quiet in my own lane.
I want to catch loving looks,To feel adoration and care,Vainly try to resist the pull,Because of the feelings shared.
Without us, I lived as though I didnt give 2 fucks.
There was no we, no possibility of an us.
There was silence, no arguing, no bickering, no cussin', no fuss.
PAPA
I felt you weeping today. As you listen to the song
that life has given you to play....
The colors of the dayHave drifted away
From bright yellow, pale blue and pink.
DREAM RHYME
Thinking of her
Out of the blue
Wondering where she is
What she's about to do ....
I stop my work
drop my pen
My mind wanders to a time when ....
MY NATURAL HIGH
She's my natural high
My red carpet ride
To another world
Alone with me ....
The wind
that ruffles her hair
And the rain
We are a nation of “simps” in a world of mad men - unknown
I’m like a bubble,
Levitating round and around
And when I reach the surface,
NIGHT WALK
I want to walk with you at night.
Where you walk alone in the morning light.
When the rising sun pushes away the moon.
Where you walk six hours before noon ....
LIKE A SUMMER BREEZE
Walking with a cane
You came into my lane.
Jumbled my ways
My nights became days.
I’ve felt this breeze before
I thought. For sure!
What if we suddenly awoke,
Realized it'd all been a dream?
What kind of feelings would be evoked;
For us what would it mean?
And if I could give back all this time,
Run back across the line,
REAR VIEW
I think of my past.
Because you are here at last. It becomes clearerIn life’s rear view mirror ....
OUT OF TOUCH
You're feeling bad
Out of touch .... aren't you girl?
Life has taken you on a whirl
Don't let it steal your joy
You're not in anyone's employ....
YOU SAY
You say ... only time will tell.
I say ... I want to hear your heart's bell.
I don’t need you.
But my heart wants to.
My soul does not need you.
BONNIE and CLYDE
The clock passed the covid curfew
And I'm still with you.
On stolen time
Trying to see new love rhyme.
We are Bonnie and Clyde
Lovers on the hide.
ON A SWING
In the morning when the sun clicks on and she gives a sighAt the last evening star dancing in the pale blue skyThat's when I dream
Of her and me
On a swing....
LADY DAY
Let’s give all to this flower of ours....We’ve been alive without love for too many hours....With others but always alone....With some sun
ARTS GARAGE
I loved each moment
At Arts Garage
A blues music barrage
Then walking the street at large...
Your touch
Your smile
And for a little while
LAY WITH LOVE
All I want to do Is make love to you With poetryWith musicAnd a caress or two
That boils your heart
A dreamy kiss
That melts like butter in sun
BEING MY REAL
What matters now is how I feel
and being my real.....
I am drifting on my boat and you're on shore
Waving to me.. shouting.. "give me more"
IT FLOWS THROUGH ME
The rising sun kisses the day
The breeze flows to me
It has something to say ....
It ruffles my hair
I wonder what is to be
What we will discover
Gypsy Queen. On me leanBe my Gypsy Lover....
The song you sing Makes love swing
So play away
To my heart each day
And be my Gypsy lover....
To the wind I will sing:
MELTED KISS
That night
We danced tight
To the rhythms of the floor
Wanting the band to play more
At Club Colette
With the beach jet set....
It was so so right
you are blue like the walls of my room --
soft, yet vibrant.
sturdy and protective.
you are all-encompassing,
my safe space when i have nowhere else to turn.
TABLE 26
I must sayYou were lovely today
With laughter of fun
I long the return of your sun
And to play
With Your smile of wonder
And dance with you
Untill dawn at six
EVERY MOVE
I’m free to love. Let me be free. A free lover. To All of you.
If you need me Call my name. If you want me You can do the same.
KISS ME YOU FOOL!!
I know you understand me
It's uncanny
We have a rhyme Unlike the many we spent time ....
chains clink, wood creaks.
the birds surrounding us sing their sweet song,
perfectly in tune with the sound of your voice.
A LOVER'S NOTION
How could you knowI miss you so....
We've been apartImprisoned by disdainListen to my heartLet it explain....
I encourage the writing of love-
I do not deny this,
but to be perfectly clear with you
it is my opinion that some love stories
shouldn't exist.
The stories of the extremely fragile soul
I wish I could forget you,
And all we have been through.
I wish I could free my self from
These prison walls around me.
Walls you built to torture me
Selfishly, in the name of love.
it is impossible for me to put my love for you into words,
but i will always continue to try.
would adjectives be accurate?
maybe endless,
passionate,
intimate.
home is in the sparkle of your eyes while you talk about something you love.
home is in the stability of your arms as they wrap around my half-asleep body.
i'm not quite sure how to put the way i miss you into words.
i see your face in everything around me.
your taste is a recurrent craving i can't seem to curb.
i look into your deep brown eyes
and feel gusts of wind rush into my lungs at the speed of light.
deep breath in,
deep breath out.
i can finally breathe again.
you are a work of art.
from far away, you look absolutely perfect.
but when i'm standing in front of you, all of your gritty details show themselves loud and clear.
honey-brown skin
glistens like liquid gold
and pours into my open mouth.
i drink up as if i've been parched for years.
but this flavor could never compare
can't sleep.
it feels like these walls are closing in on me
so i find shelter in your arms instead.
(i could stay here forever.)
pink cheeks
rosy like blooms that burst when you compliment me.
you say my name
and everything else falls like petals, sinking
down
down
down.
your golden-brown skin is warm and inviting.
on the outside i stay cool and collected --
freezing my feelings so i'll never crack.
but on the inside,
i seem to fall in and out of love at a slightly disturbing speed.
my lovers are like puzzle pieces.
i'm always trying to find my perfect fit --
All the expectations and love for you
Shattered and annihilated in a moment or two
Building the castles in air, I was
Pursuing you, was my biggest loss
Deep in your self, I have lost mine
Street talk, I know you don't understand,I can imagine why,The limit is in the sky,Trust me, the feeling is escalating, My fault,Street talk,My bad, It hurts me I feel twisted like a rope that can't be untied,I want to sleep away the feeling,Im so
Please don't doubt it
I do love you
For me love is not an emotion, it's a choice
Although i can't have you and you can't have me
I never want you to leave
You Matter.
At times like these, when it’s night, I’m tired but I want to get up. I have no drive but I’ll get up and drive.
Fear comes with the territory
Hate to break it to ya
Vulnerability comes with the territory
If you haven’t realized
Awkwardness comes with the territory
i love you so brutally.
sometimes i’d lay awake at night wondering
if you were the thing that kept me going
when i couldn’t anymore.
i no longer think in gray.
i see you and i think in oranges, reds, greens, and golds.
i looked into your eyes and i saw the happiness
If you never find love
If you have sad days
And you ever feel lonely
If your heart gets broken
And you can’t see the light
If your mind starts to wander
And you think you’re not enough
I just want someone to love me for who I really am. Handle me with my snort laughs, and my obnoxiously dark sense of humor. Hold me close when I’m anxiety ridden and full of pain.
(Kristen)Getting the person you love back in your life can be achieved through a love spell, that will be cast Naturally, i lost my boyfriend to another girl and i was devastated at that moment, then i came accross this (https ://lovespellsolution
you love me.you love me.you love me?
love is a broken boomerangheavy from despiratation.and of course it would be,what could possibly reach my expectations?
I couldn't sleep right,
I thought I was texting you all night.
You seem to take advantage of my kindness.
I never thought it would ever happen.
You explain things as if you're always right.
Curtains and ceilings are the TVs of late night thought trains
When you can’t think straight
When your mind draws blanks
All the patterns are signals
Made up
A hand ruffled through hair,
a kiss on the cheek,
hearing humming sweeping
from the warm kitchen.
A pat on the back,
hand clasped in hand,
a foot against a foot
Never fall for it.
stop falling for it.
her beautiful smile and soft skin.
how she tricks you into coming back.
How somehow everything is your fault.
She could stab you, but the kiss heals the pain
You put me in a box
and there is where I stayed
It was cold, dark, and lonely,
but I loved you anyway
Then a light approached me
and I took a peep outside
The air was warm and full of love,
Growing up and old in the rich and slightly wildered jigsaw valley,
warmth.
embrace, it's something i lack.
i'll be without, you won't come back.

love, it's all an illusion.
at this point it's all confusion.

SITTING ON THE WINDOW SILL,TRYING TEXTING YOU. THERE'S A LITTLE DRIZZLE OUT THERE REMINDING OF YOU
When I was young, each day was so incredibly filled with possibility.Each moment burst with fresh emotion so bright and furious that it burned out all feelings prior to it.
I wandered alone
Clinging to things not my own
Placing my worth in them
Painting my future with brushes of past
Thinking that love would never last
Jumping from sin to sin
laughing at nothing
feeling everything
our love a rose in spring
something has changed
we have changed
into something more
maybe it was how his hand felt right in mine
thought i was finally done and then i noticed
it was small things at first
you unfollowed me on everything
which was to be expected
dropped any sort of contact

I need you
To hold me
When I’m sad
I need you
When the nights
Are so long
I want you
When I can’t sleep
I want you
When I cry
I need to
Hold you when
I’ve considered putting my hair
Into a ponytail when I’m sleeping
Because my hair not soft against my

Soon you will return, I'll be by your side
I know you will be gone as soon as you arrive
3 months spent far away, another 6 out farther
Maybe spending 2 more years before a chance at forever
We love with a love that’s more than love.
It’s passion,
It’s experience,
It’s understanding.
He’s loved me at my lows.
The big bad something
Decides it’s time to talk,
Pounding,
Behind eyes,
Spherical,
The bullets shoot you,
And the hiding isn’t easy.
The thing about “something” is,
you asked me what I see in your eyes. I could’ve been cliché and said I saw the sea, but instead I said, that I see a whole world in your eyes. With a fading blue-orange sky and crickets chirping and little children playing outside. With smiles
Happy Father’s Day to a father
Who was absent when I craved for him
Back then in my days
This relation was rather growling and grim
Sometimes my words
Go in one ear and out the other.
But that’s ok
Cause by heart and soul we are tethered.
It’s my job to be mad
When F’S litter your report card,
I know you can do better.
Do we ever think about the things we create? The small things and the large things that we drag with us through time, the phases that we promoted that we thought would last forever in our minds
Anger, a muscle memory,
triggered by his voice now
teasing, now taunting, now
icy creeping in my ears and
down my spine.
Like tomcats we clawed,
screeched at each other, like
You're kind of crazy and I am too,
I'm only me when I'm with you.
You make me smile like a child,
I hope you'll stick around and stay awhile.
You make me feel so safe inside,
Life is like the Earth
Always changing
Growth, rebirth
Movement, rearranging.
People are like seasons
Some seem to linger, to last
But for whatever reason
Others quickly become past.
I see your guilt through tired eyes,
Two bloodshot victims of countless nights
Expressing dejection in bitter solitude.
I smell your fear through a raw nose,
My heart flutters and bangs its way throughout my body.
Adrenaline courses through my veins and your hands trace it out of my skin.
Hot breath in my mouth and out yours.
Hidden
Friends, old and new join together,
forming an odd kind of family.
Drunken men make moves and women
refuse until the morning.
I’m just not the same
Where’s the picture for my frame
Where’s the candle for my flame
I just am not right
Where’s the sun to bring me light
Where’s the pen so I can write
Lovewhat is love?Is there really a definition for this simple four letter word?
If I try to describe it maybe I would just sound absurd
But here I go
I would push myself everyday
To walk the streets abandoned by my mother
Wrap my words with her lies
And sell them as truth
She would lend me her voice to call out my demons
You and I. A million things that could've been and that might still come to be,One hundred things in those three words that can be read between the lines,
to the one who broke me
i hope you’re doing well,
even though you called me a shitty friend
and listed all the things you hate about me
I hug you and kiss you
Then, I choke you,
But I soften you.
I killed you.
But I love you,
I still love you no matter what.
I hate not making you feel better,
I want to be together,
My routine with you has never changed.
Night and day,
Your promises seem so far away.
My routine with you has never changed.
I pray, I write , I read.
“Together forever”
“Together until the end of time”
That’s what we used to say
But every promises
Are meant to be broken
Everything has changed
We’re slowly getting further
From afar I saw it,
Flying with its gorgeous wings
Among the flowers
But when I touch it,
It flew away
The butterfly is just like you,
She didn’t know,
What would happen,
when he came to her life
She wasn’t aware
That she slowly changed,
to another person for him
They say that
Distance
Makes the heart grow fonder
But I was fond enough
When we walked
Alongside one another
You were wildfire.
Someone lit you and left you to burn.
So when i came along,
Your ashes and flaming embers,
landed upon my skin and ignited me.
Your smoke wafted into my lungs
I don't believe in omens
I don't believe in signs
Though our paths have crossed and
Our fates seem to align.
Am I in denial if "Coincidence!" I cry,
Blind to unseen strings?
Is chance a myth, a lie?
You were there when I needed you the most…
When I was breaking under pressure,
Like a sapling overburdened with snow.
I always thought of myself as a mighty oak,
She is ample
long, luxurious locks
that unlock me
plentiful, sloping curves
that my tongue skiis down
she provides rich milk
nourishing my pounding heart
soft, plump lips whispering
I still listen to all the songs you told me about. It's like the only piece of you I have left. They bring back bittersweet sadness. In myself, I've found some of you.
You've always compared me to a rose and I never quite understood why. Is it because I'm pretty? Or is it because I have thorns? Is it because, if you get too close you'll hurt yourself?
That communication is
Sometimes not the key?
Only if I want to hear it,
Then I will respond back to you.
Or better, if I don't like it
I'll rant about it to everyone I know.
Why does it have to be?
In the center of my heart
She planted a tree.
Happiness a branch I'd soon know.
The leaves sprouting in full with
no limitation to height.
The roots carry the depth of how far
her hands have gone.
If there was a time in my life where I said I hated you
I lied
If there was a time where I said you didn’t mean anything to me
I lied
If there was a time when I said I didn’t need you
I lied
Dancing on the floor
Singing cheerful songs
The world rotates for each movement that is made
Stained in vibrant hue are the lights that illuminate the room
why do you expect me to be okay?
to be okay with your actions,
to be okay with what you say
i'm not
why do you expect me to forget?
the words you told me,
the words you said
i can't
It never works,
And I'm an idiot for trying.
I feel like you've unpopped the corks,
'Cause I'm suddenly crying.
"Have you ever wanted something so bad,
that you find yourself mesmerize when she passes beside you,
The way that you love me
It's like you know exactly what I need
to survive, and I finally see
all that I was missing, now I can finally proceed
I never knew love like this existed
What if I'm not as pretty as you think?
What if I have scars on my face?
What if everything changes once you blink
would I no longer be in first place?
Would you eveen bother
to get to know me
There's a definite gleam in my eyes,
the moment they set on you.
A smile comes across my face,
at the phenomenal view.
The glow from your skin,
it brightens the room;
The curves of your body
Now I'm packing up my things,
From the space where our hearts overlapped.
You've left a few items
I know that you'll be back.
I'm not going to be there
You can have my key,
I'm leaving this place
Nostalgic melodies cause me to rise,
from the safe white, billowing sheets,
and the shared warmth of surrounding arms.
Aimlessly, I sway unsteady, on the forgetful memory foam,
legs wobbling, arms bending,
Just wanna tell you
I love the way you love me
Just wanna tell you
I love the way you talk
Just wanna tell you
I love the way you staring at me
Just wanna tell you
I love the way you kiss me
A hopeless romantic, a hopeless dream
That’s what is real, and it’s all it will be.
To crush false hope at the source of its seam.
Awakening to a senseless breath,
a breeze takes over; a simple stroke
as yesterday's misfortunes fall back into focus
__________
One fork in the road,
Him. Me. Tranquility.
I feel safe but strange, it’s not my game.
My chest feels small
“You are the thunder that echoed through the night;
died off in the distance and stayed out of sight.
Every day an endless nightmare;
every night a dying dream.
A sleepless heart,
"Her name written in the moon between the stars, crossed out, covered up with several black ink marks. The tiny spark, the invisible pen, marks all you see but cannot read. That little hope, it still burns faint, the fire burns, always.
"I am picking out the glass underneath my feet from stepping on your littered beach. I tossed it back into your sea and poisoned the wildlife, killed off its resources. The water grew toxic so I couldn't swim.
I was the shattered glass laying on the floor,
until you swept me up and built me into something more.
I was a hole in the knee of your favorite blue jeans,
and you stitched me up along the seams.

Beginning
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Its 2AM & I’m lonelier than I’ve ever been.
Attachment is a funny thing It forms so quickly
I used to miss you. Mostly your body and the way you moved. But now all I can remember about you is your sour tone and the way you used to put me down. I used to miss you, but now you are nothing at all.
Whispers drift with the salty breeze. Oh, my dear.
His tender hand brushes a lock of hair
behind her ear. Just, for me, bear
it a little longer. Let’s enjoy the fireworks at eight.
feelings we disect,
fail to digest.
we're both so depressed.
emotions repressed;
show reason less.
we scream and we shout;
dont know what about.
I saved this for us.
you stressed me out.
Why won't you treat me like I'm perfect?
Why won't you treat me like I'm worth it?
You ripped my heart right out of my chest
You did things to it that I never would've guessed
Couples don't treat each other this way
Having a broken heart makes it so hard to breathe
I begged you to stay, but I ended up having to watch you leave
Best friends? Best friends till the end?
I guess with time my broken heart will mend
The laughs that we've shared
have now turned to scars and bruises.
My days would end
with me in tears and u
still wishing for my life to end.
The night loomed over the park. The cold nipped at us.
We held hands through the scattered blackness
and I wasn't even afraid of the dark.
Red Blue Orange Green White Purple bulbs everywhere,
Her bare back moves with each breath
as she sleeps into the late morning.
A tattoo on her shoulder peers over the covers,
as her glasses sit on the table adjacent to the bed.
I want to take in all of her-
he was a secret that I regret keeping locked away, deep inside my soul he stayed he shook hands with my fearshe befriended my pain
Poetry is an insight to the soulPowerful images built with wordsEmotions drawn from rhymeThere is a world in poetryA story to be heard and cherishedLike a book condensed to linesSimple phrases, hidden meanings Look at a person like a poemAnalyse,
It's like he doesn't wanna be with me anymore, he looks at me and doesn't see what he use to see anymore all day Fighting it's like we couldn't agree anymore
.. I do anything to get answers and just to be with you more but

She gave him everything she had.
Her body, soul, and heart,
She thought they would be together forever.
Her eyes folded into her face,
His tongue tastes of wine
I feel childhood memories on his spine.
His eyes shimmer like the sea
I know why he has that scar on his knee.
His lips taste like cherries
I watch him devour some Ben & Jerry's.
Picture this:
the two of us, in bed
white sheets, black holes
No, blown pupils
we can't stop staring
I am a fucking phoenix.
You can tear me down
You can burn my body
Leave me in the ashes of memories
And even blow them across the floor
My body has been burned
Scorched and used
From the times my feathers were ripped from my body
In a pillow fight I will never win.
My bones are fragile
What is that look when you see me in public?
You give me this look of loathing
Chills me to the bone.
What is that look when you see me in private?
Jealousy appears to be the only feeling in my heart.
As I watch you touch him like I would like for myself.
Don't you dare love him...
but who am I to say.
He must feel similar to my own pain.
I don't want you in my head.
Sitting there, taking all of the space.
My lock has been latched,
as for you,
can never escape.
I miss the old days
The times spent with you
But friends finally told me
To find someone new.
'Cuz you sure have changed now
But I haven't left
My heart aches so much as
I hope for the best.
Lemon squares
And sorbet eyes
Belong to the one
That I am in love with.
They think of themselves
As judgemental and crude,
When I think about you, I think about all the times I’ve been happy in my life
Because that’s what you do
You make me happy
I would say I’m sorry
But it would be a lie.
I could tell you that I love you
And everything is fine.
Crash
The structure comes down
We built it together, and we'll take it down together
It may seem like we're divided, but we still have one goal before it's over
I want to paint all my walls
yellow.
So when I wake up,
I wake to the color of you.
The color that holds every sunset,
every warm smile,
all those kisses on the beach.
Temporary completion, I took it so personally
It was something I was craving for an eternity
I was so desperate.
I craved something so real and profound
can you feel it
the burn inside yourself
the fire and ache
flooding through your soul
let me be your relief
your taste of snow and ice
feel my lips freeze your skin
calm the fires
My phone used to ring
At 11:55 PM
Every single night
For some lovely months,
But at this 11:55 PM,
Ringing has ceased
Because I asked for it to.
At 11:55 PM,
I need you.
I need to run my hands through your hair.
I need to kiss your lips and your neck and your chest and your skin.
I need to draw shapes on your body with my fingertips.
When he took over my thoughts
He did more than just manifest
In my brain
He became the heartbeat that kept me alive
If the body is a blank canvas
Let me paint a picture
Through the kisses
Telling you what is now
Through the time in my arms
My heart's now frozen
Then again it's on fire
Your soul and my soul
Only a bird can go higher
With you there's few things that I can't do
See my insecurities as just things you shoot right through
i am sorry
i am sorry if you confused me for home
usually flowers do that too.
i dont blame you for doing that
i dont blame you for throwing words into the sky
I hope you realize how much you mean to me,
regardless of where a relationship between us stands.
I hope you know that you make my day.
Even when I fell like the world around me is falling apart,
I look at the stars late at night
The wind that blows against my face is very cold
I did whatever I could to make you shine bright
When you where lonely I was always there for you to hold
Dear firefly,
It's been too long since I've seen you
It's been too long since I've felt your touch
the brush of your hand on mine
the soft reassurance of your fingers skimming the skin on my face
You can't tell me that you ever cared about me or my feelings when the one time I sleepily told you I loved you (on accident), you told me that I didn't

Dear Lover,
I am not a puppy or a little plaything you can choose because you think I am cute,
I am not a creature you can punish for not behaving how you would like me to,
I am unable to recast
The same sun that rose
The day that was our last
This isn’t what I chose
Glass between our paths
I had you in my grasp
Forgive my reach
I can't stop
I know I should
But I can't stop
We pick our fruits
From the places we love
But seasons change
Dear Sam,
Sometimes I'm not sure if I miss you or the way you made me feel.
Sometimes I'm not sure if I can live another second without feeling the way you made me feel.
Sometimes I'm not sure how you really made me feel.
Dolphin Gray -
The color of my favorite
Crayola Crayon
At six years old
slightly blue-tinted gray catching my eye
I feel like I'm drowning in your words and every time I open my mouth to breath, I lose more air.
Something in my gut tells me to just run away, move on and find someone less difficult
but then a spark of hope ignites in my heart and says
I hide my body,
And decorated my soul,
I don't put doormats or door signs,
That says "welcome" anymore,
I got rid of all the dodders,
And sowed seeds of dreams in my chest,
dear precious and dexterous,
the house in the hills of cinque terre,
is resplendent in its alluring wealth.
it is orange,
Dear lover,
Why are you afraid of me?
This would mean you’d be afraid of
The girl who cries at night, the girl
Who cries because she doesn’t know the future.
Acting okay.
Asking for forgiveness,
Always pretending.
Broken heart.
Bridges burnt.
Baby, wait please.
Crying for hours.
Cutting off everyone.
Can you ever forgive me?
I reached to the depths of your despair
While the pit of your pain revered as it leaked.
You crushed the very flower that still scented your skin
Tainting its petals, making it yours to keep.
Dear Jake,
My relationship with you was
a plant, a flower,
it bloomed like a rose.
Beautiful from afar,
but if I got too close,
held on a little too tight,
To My Dearest Beloved,
I want to start by saying,
I’m glad you’ve stayed this long.
I don’t think anyone else would have.
It’s been five years,
Since you first hesitantly said,
I love you.
Dear Far-Away Love,
Yes, I know today is another day
with you over there and me over here
Oh how I miss you,
Your sweet smell of flowers
The comfort you bring me
Oh how much joy you bring me every day
You're always there for me at the end of the day when I come home from school
wrap me in your love again.
blanket plush,
velvet crushed.
make me feel again.
misery, over and over.
Dear My Future Ex,
I'm tired of all the lying and the cheating,
Our alliance suffers from treason,
Whenever we talk, we're fire breathing,
Only time we aren't fighting, is when we're eating,
You were warm.
I was cold.
Hard.
And you were warm.
Warm like a fleece blanket
Softening my insides in cozy embrace.
You were sweet
Like you knew me before you ever had to ask
Your steady warm breath
Against my neck.
Your body wrapped around mine
As if your first instinct is to protect.
You hold my hands in a warm embrace
With the conviction that you will never let go.
"You are so young, you have so much time"
Never mixed well with
"Life is short."
So I never poured my time in a hot bucket
Sitting in the sun as it evaporates into the last place
I wanted it to go--
Dear Rebekah,
I always take a look at you when you're not aware,
But most times you catch me looking and I find it so unfair
That the stars in your eyes twinkle, when you see him and not me,
This poem reflects a bad relationship:
Dear whoever cares,
My heart hurts.
My stomach hurts
My chest hurts.
It's my entire body actually.
I feel like I forgot how to breathe.
This isn't right.
I loved a man who broke my heart
Haven’t we all
I loved him deeply from the start
That was my first mistake
I just should have waited
Lately I’ve grown aware
Of my habit for lashing out, my cold fits
My disenchanting flare and I know
my pride's laid bare
Your striking blue eyes
Pierce anyone that dares
stray near your territory
Your gay, uncaring smile
That is not only contagious
but gets you out of trouble
Your strong, echoing voice
Liberation,
She called it,
Discharging pet
Lovebird from the
Foreign shackles
Named commitment
Dear The One Who Hates,
I still remember the days that we shared.
The plucking of flowers and pulling of hair.
The theories of God that would fly through our heads
Maybe it was too much what I put you through, in the end I always thought of me and you.I asked you to hold on when things were rough, you tried to hide it but I could see things were tough.When I shouldn't have been lonely I was, in those times I
I cry almost every night, asking will everything be alright Stare into dark space with a low face, a lot people don't know this takes place What woman can own it and say the love of her life is fading away, that maybe it's be best to split even t
I almost told you the other day.
About 4 times to be exact.
It was on the tip of my tongue but for some reason, my teeth grit and pushed it back into my throat each and every time.
Stale smoke,
It clings to the threads of his jacket,
Yet i've never choked,
Our relationship is stuck in a brackett.
Oversaturated Old Spice,
Days,
Days go by,
He has nothing to say.
Cry,
All you can do is scream,
You just cry until your eyes are dry.
Dream,
Oh, how these past few months have been filled with tears.
Losing you was by far one of my biggest fears.
You made me face it, with your sadistic, evil ways.
And now we haven't spoken in days.
Thank you,
A heaving chest,
Quick breaths,
You stole the very air from my lungs.
A watchful eye,
Beautiful surprise,
You took my focus for yourself.
A thumping heart,
Set apart,
To my ex-lover,
You were my first real love,
My first serious relationship.
You taught me how to be in a relationship,
How to love,
How to be compassionate,
How to commit.
Dear John,
I know this sounds cliche,
But let me count the ways,
That I think of you,
Oh wait.
You’re
Not
My Sweetness,
Freedom of reproach and firmness against difficulty
Have been found in our love,
Tried and tested, it is true.
I hear the grit of the others,
Trash talking our silver-ringed way
Where there is love,
Distance doesn’t matter.
Whoever wrote this line doesn’t know the kind
Of love I have for you.
As we grow old...
We are supposed to listen to what we are told.
The wise & the bold,
Told us something that we should all take & hold.
Ill use the love letters you wrote me to fuel the fire I light to destroy this paper house I have been living in.
Buy into the aestheticI wouldn't spare you a dime
I am my own butcher
of my edifice
Not a single truth
nor a single lie
Could slow the ebbs in current
Could stop the rising tide
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.
(Verse 1)
Just let me say I’m only a man
I hope that you would’ve understand
And see all the love that I had
So high up but I’m about to crash and land
Worse come down since my acid trip
“No one loves you like I do”
The words that once seemed lovely
Burrow into the crevices of my mind
Right next to “you’re not good enough” and “you’ll never achieve anything”
“No one loves you like I do”
‘Thermodynamic equilibrium
is defined as the state of an isolated system in which
there is no tendency for spontaneous change
a tenuous balance between unimaginable forces.’
I loved like a sloth.
I clinged to him like a life source,
like a sloth clings to a branch.
I fought for him to see me , love me, want me.
I used all my strength to stay
in the safety of his affection.
This is my story,My love life through my eyes,And what a healthy relationship,Means to me.
Because I love you I want you to grow in all aspects of your life
I want you to become the person that you want to be
words grip me into a choking hold
as i grasp for air
from your overbearing love
that tighten my vocal chords
i ask for you to leave
Crinkled candy wrappers filling the trashcan,
I turn to my right and gaze at your caramel skin.
Headphones on, you furiously play your favorite video game
Which over time causes my eyes to drift away.
Because I love you I know you’re not perfect
But I love you regardless
Nothing is perfect not you, not me, not our relationship
The love you have is yours,
Yet you give it away to me.
Adding love to mine,
never dividing.
Flowers grow in the gardens,
yet no rain falls.
For your sun shines
and our joy like birds.
To understand a healthy relationship,
you must understand a healthy self.
Neither should you starve to death,
nor should you stock junk food on the shelf.
Love ambitiously flowing through my veins;
All of the qualities you possess allow my heart to never rest;
As relationships are always put to the test;
Didn’t think I’d be the type
To be like the stereotype,
But I can’t stop thinking
I’m falling but not sinking.
When I look at you,
If only you knew.
That you are without a flaw,
Before you I could never be alone
He was always watching, listening
Never letting me go
Why do you do these things?
To which he simply responded
Because I love you
Because I love you
In my very own way
I accept your outstretched hand
You have kept your promise
Never led me astray
So today, united we stand
If divided we fall
I would not be upset
It’s nearly a year later since I’ve written
And I’ve regained myself.
I believe in my future.
I want to strive.
I want to love all.
My heart has flourished since I’ve last written.
Her.
She’s eighteen years old,
and she’s in love.
Him.
He’s twenty-one years old,
and he’s got his own place.
Them.
They go out on a Friday night,
there is something strangely beautiful
and completely hilarious
about listening to you snore over skype.
i have never touched your face
or kissed your lips
but i feel your heart beating in mine.
We were born from the same star
But stars burn out
So we did the impossible
We fell here
To this safe haven
But what is safe when it's gripped by your screaming?
Can nudes save us?
You are the only cloud on a sunny day.
Because of you, I have shade on the hottest day of the year.
Because I love you, a smile tugs at my lips at the sound of your name.
Because I love you, my stomach becomes a butterfly garden when I see your smile.
#BecauseILoveYou
Can I trust you?
In high school
I'm Currently in one.
A relationship I mean
It starts off all green and circumstantial
I was told actions speak louder than words
But few recognize how words twist the soul
Some I hear have connotations absurd
And I wonder if it's really their goal
To guilt others into pleasing them
the first goodbye is hardest
and the second is easier
once you get used to leaving
walking away is numbed
but i was never the one to walk away
just watched you leave
so each goodbye stings
It teaches you who you are
And shows you what you’re becoming
The foundation
To healthy relationships
So that you’re not left there stumbling
There’s only one person I’ve ever fallen in love with
My reflection showing hate
Destructive thoughts would not shake
I needed them to validate
“What a pretty smile”
Didn't they know it’s fake?
Why? Because I love you!
Every morning, one of my favorite parts of the day, I get to wake up next to you.
Every night, another favorite of mine, is lying in bed with you by my side.
“How was your day, Sweetie?”
“I should get one for my partner too.”
“I mean… Would you want to?”
It’s as simple as that.
A white feather fell on me as I walk to my office.
Once I enter the office, I felt a kiss on my cheek.
I looked back quickly and saw nothing.
I resume to work without thinking or telling that to my boss,
A spark of emotion birthed a flaming relationshipText messages and posts proclaim the feelings you have to the worldYour once boring life took a spin, and FLIPThe problems in your life just vanished; unfurled
Something changed inside of me
When I disturbed the water lilies
The curtains stirred in disarray
But she said that she couldn’t stay
Something changed inside of me
When I sang to the water lilies
Take my hand in yours and let’s walk the earth,
As if we were meant to since the birth,
For I have never felt anything like this,
When you lean over to blow me a kiss,
In the haze of infatuation.
The purple flower grows at night
so is the white flower.
The purple flower grows stronger and brighter
so is the white flower.
The purple flower dies slowly,
but not for the white flower.
No one understands me in the times of the shadows
No one listens to me in a world that is full
You do, oh, it is percious when you do
You take care of me like a bear protects its cubs
Because I love you,
Because I love you I saw more for you than I did for myself
I let go of my success and marked the path for your access.
She loves him because he trusts her fight her own battles but still stands silently behind her, always ready to help but only if she wants him to.
I love you this much,
More than all the tears from your eyes.
If you love me,
You'll not worry your pretty mind over my lies.
What I mean with my fists
My love will persist;
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
Text me when you're home
Safely
Did you eat?
I can buy you something
Gave you all my love
All I could give
But what I couldn't do was
Forgive
The butterfly with black wings,
black body and black eyes.
The butterfly comes at your window at midnight.
The butterfly made a fluttered sound.
Then you turn your head from the table.
When you lie restless at night,I will console you,I will tend to your needs,I will assure you that things will be okay—Because I ca
They built me up,
And knocked me down,
Over
And over
And over
And over.
A cycle of trying to impress,
Less sugar,
More flavor,
With a hint of lime,
And salt.
Therefore,
Balance
of
Life
and
Love.
I had become accustomed to the monstrous features beneath his surface -
The claws that grasped my hands;
The cold lips that touched mine;
The fire that burned in his eyes.
I will never leave you,
and I will always listen.
But because I love you,
I cannot always help.
For I am only human,
just as you are only human.
We make mistakes.
We fall, we cry, we mess up.
Because I love you
I will listen to what you have to say
Because I love you
I will never just turn and run away
Because I love you
I choke you,
But I soften you.
I love you,
I still love you no matter what.
I hate not making you feel better,
I want to be together,
With you,
Until we decayed at the end of our lives.
Normal couples fight, right?
It's not out of the ordinary to be coerced
To need someone to push me out of my comfort zone
Normal boyfriends keep their options open, right?
In January
She was toxic.
Through lies and pain,
You broke a little more.
In March
You said it was okay,
I would do anything for you. I loved you...as much as my stupid hormonal 15 year old brain could. All I ever wanted from you was for you to care and at least tell me that you love me.
Because I loved you, I felt worthless
Because I loved you, I saw myself surrounded by darkness when you were supposed to be my light
Because I loved you, I saw blood on my hands instead of your fingers between mine
Because I love you,
I thought it was okay to spend all my energy on you.
My grades started dropping,
And I was up every night talking to you.
As I closed my eyes
I could hear the raindrops sing,
I could hear the wind whistling
“it’s going to be okay”
“it’s all over now”
“it’s going to be okay”
Because you love me, you do your best to make me smile,
Because I love you, seeing you is worth every mile.
Because you love me, you call every day.
Because I love you, I want to hear everything you have to say.
Love is not building a relationship on a foundation of physical looks.
Love is having respect, trust, and empathy, whether it be romantic or brotherly love.
The first day we met
You asked if you could sit beside me
You didn't move 'till I said yes
A few months later
You asked if we could study
You didn't get out books 'till I said yes
Because I love you
I send good morning texts
And goodnight texts
Because I love you
I remind you to eat
And make sure you're okay
Because I love you
I break down knowing we won't last
#BecauseILoveYou
I love you for who you are
Not what I want you to be
Or what anyone else wants you to be
Will you be by my side until the end?
My mind is trapped inside a hidden box
If you were here to make me apprehend
The crosswalks in my life are a paradox
With tears in my eyes
I look into yours
Our eternal lives
Have been suddenly cut short
Though they are closed tight
A new door unlatched.
Because I love you
I will hold your soft hand
Through the sweet winter breeze
With our toes treading sand
Because I love you
I will place your lips on mine
It'll feel so free
Since you're my valentine
I feel like your choking me when i am around you,
but i breath, because i love you.
I tried to fight my feelings,
but victory was impossible, because i love you.
How did this happen?
The odds
Astronomical
The chances
Celestial
Seven billion lives
Beginning, ending, colliding
And I find you
And you find me
How
How
How
If I have a soulmate
I hope he finds me first;
When I have a soulmate
I'll know that he will be my last.
One look, one touch
Just enough to say
"Because I love you,
Because I Love You I am patientBecause I Love You I let you make your own decisionsBecause I Love You I will support you
Because I love you:
I am me.
No more walls
No more faces
Because I love you,
I took off my mask
I showed you who I was,
My heart has felt everything and then nothingIt has been ripped and burned and then sewn back together with broken fingersSo I put it where nobody can touch it, deep below my belly, hidden in the darkness
What does it mean to love?
Is it a title?
Is it to act like a vital?
No, it is much more.
Much more than I can implore.
It is a feeling
a feeling of believing.
Being alone at night,
One day i found my knight.
Sharing emotions and being talkative,
I found him being very positive.
Not only about how I felt,
A destiny, a change in what we see as the worlds eye
another doesn't know there life began this journey
through every expirence to every sorrow, a bond is born into a trust between two,
I’ll respect you, not abuse you
I’ll encourage you, not discourage you
I’ll cheer you, not depress you
I’ll stand up for you, not ignore you
Few years ago I would smile and say hey
Because life's too short to feel hate
Now, i have been hurt too many times
Being nice to the traitor is no longer my fortay
I am sorry, it is time for me to depart
I have seen the person that you really are
Yet, he wishes for me to stay
Pulling the same trick just so I stick around for another day
Growing up, I never saw a healthy relationship.
I didn’t see my dad kiss my mom on the cheek,
And I didn’t see my mom get roses.
I didn’t see my parents in the same bed,
“You’re just worthless, that’s all you will ever be.”
“You’re a whore, and you’re not good enough for me”
“I’m too good for you, can’t you see?”
I liked it when you told me I would be your princess on a pedestal
I liked it when you told me life with you was never dull
I liked it when you told me I was perfect
I liked that I was the one you picked
Because I love you
I will catch you when you fall
I will sweep you off your feet
I will protect you through it all
Would you do the same for me?
She holds my hand when I feel defeat
Out of all the people in my life, you're the one that has taught me the most.
"Love yourself, before loving others", but how can you love when you're only a ghost?
When you wander Earth all on your own,
Dipping my fingers into your affection,
It tastes like sweetened condensed milk -
The way you hold me when I'm trapped in the dark,
Your company such a welcome confection.
I’m with You.
Entwined within the gnarled grasp of somewhere that is not quite Rockland.
It is darker, for the place that confines us rests snug within our skulls
She has hair that falls over her shoulders in straight caramel colored strands.
She has blue eyes that are perfect pictures of the ocean .
She is a good 4 inches taller than me and looks great in everything.
And she has you
For just three months we've been together
It truly feels like its been forever.
We call each night with an exhange of words,
So simple, so sincere, I couldn't ask for more
Time moves on as our affection grew
Because I love you
I will put you over me,
You before me.
Because I love you
Respecting you will come before all,
No matter where we go.
Because I love you
Your dreams will be mine,
Because I love you
I heard it every day
After each beating
After each round of screaming
I cowered
Because he loved me
He loved me so much it was an honor to be his
To be worth his time
He holds you close
He helps you out
Everyone obviously knows it's
Because he loves you
He grips you tight
He tells you no
He never really lets you fight
Because he loves you
How can it be love
When the girl you say
You love
Is afraid to speak her mind?
How can it be love
When you say you love me
I wanna be there
Gonna be there
There is no where else I'd rather be
I'm gonna support you
Always be there for you
Like tomorrow is not a virtue
I'm gonna be loyal
Gonna spoil you
I wanna be there
Gonna be there
There is no where else I'd rather be
I'm gonna support you
Always be there for you
Like tomorrow is not a virtue
I'm gonna be loyal
Gonna spoil you
I wanna be there
Gonna be there
There is no where else I'd rather be
I'm gonna support you
Always be there for you
Like tomorrow is not a virtue
I'm gonna be loyal
Gonna spoil 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
Because you “love” me.
I’m left wanting more?
With where we stand,
You’re still “never sure.”
Because I love you,
I ask for “too much”
I make myself your wings.
You,
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 missed your call earlier, and it was okay.
You didn't repeatively call, to "make sure I was OK"
I was busy doing homework, and you caught me off guard with "I understand"
I will support you,
I will talk to you,
I will be here for you,
I will make time for you,
I will talk with an open mind,
I will listen with an open heart,
I will not hurt you,
I entered into an unfamiliar room
Didn’t know what to come of it.
Leaving old friends behind
Will always leave a wound
Looking for the light
There’s an old saying -
Greek or Roman I can’t remember -
It says that when you meet your beloved,
Flowers start to blossom on your soul,
That those who love move through life as walking gardens.
"Because I love you"
Doesn't mean it's okay
For me to do as you say.
The phrase "because I love you"
Should only be used to express
An act of love, of gratitude; it must not be used as a screw.
The reason that I love you is simply very clear,
'cause when I am around you I can feel no fear.
Enfolded in your arms, warm in your embrace,
all of my troubles I know I can face.
Since you are my darling and my dear
It is not about,
"Oh, there there...it- it'll be alright."
When something goes wrong.
It is about being strong when there is weakness,
"We will get through this together."
You are there
I am there
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.
Because I love you…
You are the only thing that will ever matter to me.
Because I love you…
I need to see you every day.
Because I love you…
Welcome Home old Friend
How was life
Was it an adventure
did you see the twilight dance
Did you watch
Did you taste the honeycomb
Did you savor the flavor
How does one survive a hurricane
Especially when the hurricane has become your favorite person
The aftermath of you will be earth shattering, I know
You've broken others why would you be easy on me
You do not complete me, instead,
Compliment me in my entirety
Fitting into the spaces where I falter
A loving embrace, a casual reminder
We ate and drank and laughed until we could not be filled with any more.
In the depths of the dark, the painful, you surprised me.
You, a presence, when every other thing cowered.
Love isn't happy
love is trouble
love can be happy
if you try harder
don't make excuses
don't say because I love you
don't blame your madness
on "because I love you"s
Relationships can start as a heavenly birth
Or as hell on earth hid at first by mirth
The reasons why
Can take up all space from here to the sky
Because I love you,
I will call you Dear,
I will let you yell too,
I will ignore my fears.
Because I love you,
I will hold in these tears,
I will smile for you,
I will call for help.
To my dear friend
When I am with you
I don’t pretend
You are a blessing
Between us is trust
You stop me from stressing
There wasn’t much light
But when you came into my life
Okay,
The big kid monkey bars.
Today was the day.
You pull yourself up until you're eye level with a row of metal bars and
You jump,
one bar,
left hand,
next bar,
i need you
your soft lips
those warm fingertips
are not all
with tears falling to the ground
you cover me in a hug
When the one you love most is getting hurt,
what do you do?
I knew her the best; we spent so much time together,
it's impossible anyone surpassed our closeness.
Because I love you, you should love me too.
You should honor, appreciate, and cherish me.
We had a black and white kind of love
We hid things about our past
Now here we go on round two
Both of us are finally starting to see the color
There are arguments.
There is yelling, and tears, and frustration.
There is sadness, and anguish, and pain.
There are days where it feels as though we will never work this out.
But we love each other, still.
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
When you say you love me
I know it's very true
Because in your eyes I can clearly see
Your thoughts consist of you and me
I love you when you're happy
I love you when you're sad
Because I love you,It didnt' matter what was leftAnd what was right. It didn't matter what was up And what was down. Because I love you,Days mended together. You and I.
I am here
I am committed
You are sick, I take care
When you cry, my shoulder is there
I ask permission
I consent
I am here
I am committed
You are sick, I take care
When you cry, my shoulder is there
I ask permission
I consent
I catch a glimpse of your dimples when you laugh,
Thinking to myself,
Why are you still here?
I watch as you water the garden we planted together,
Thinking to myself,
Why are you still here?
Waking up,
you're by my side ,
I'm so in love with you .
I want to stay with you until we're old.
I know you don't mean it love
the kicks ,the screams,the punches.
You're hands ,
so soft ,
I am an ocean
I am rough and wild and relentless
Brutal
You do not treat me as if I am
Delicate
Sea foam spun by the quells of love
You look at me
healthy relationships
they are really special things
they can be in each new friendship that someone brings
it might be hard to find one at first
but once they’re found
Love heals
Love serves
Love hears.
It takes some time to decipher
the truth from the noise.
Love is falling apart
and knowing they won't change their mind.
Finding light.
The sound of my head recalls sweet kisses,
Our moments drum close to rhythm danceable,
And how do I take your yes for no,
Your sudden intentions to let go of me.
"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
“Because I love you.”
Multiple definitions
For words so loving.
“Because I love you.”
Manipulative gestures
Last night I dreamt of you, we were just like we used to be.
We we're watching the moon cover the sun, we had felt so free.
You held my hand and squeezed it so tight.
I knew in that moment that everything would be alright.
Paint me with your breath
and your favorite hues of red
until the pigment and anticipation
drips from my chest.
Draw the sunlight onto my back
with your fingertips
Oh, Mr. Plumber man,
I heard drips from my sink.
So I called you over,
to come and fix the leak.
From the shortest to the smallestFrom the biggest, tallest and GiantsLet's stop the violence's The average, smartest and brightest
I love my king
I love the curl of his hair
I love the passion he shares
I love the bold brown in his eyes
I love the cold chill of his vibes
I love the smooth of his skin
I love the peace in his grin
Your fingers trace my skin,
like a pencil on a map.
Slowing down over my edges,
like a car on a mountain.
I never know where your journey
will take you.
I just hope
I am there to see it.
As his eyes met hers, once again,
memories filled with colorful bliss
suddenly awakened,
the past quickly met the present,
but only in his mind, and only for a moment
ChorusSticcs and stones and broken homes your curses are what hurt meYour heart is stone it breaks my soul your hatred is what birthed meYou drink my blood and drain my love and you always seem so thirstyYou act so high above us all you act like i
I can count a million reasons why our love is true,
and the many ways I've fallen in love with you.
There is nothing in which compares,
to the love that we share
On long car ridesShe chooses the music playedCarefully setting the moodUsing songs to portray emotionShe turns melodies i
My heart it aches for unrequited lust
To bear the pain of full romance I lack
Capacity to join my soul I must
Admit my conscience has begun to crack
tell me if this worth the waittell me if ‘us’ is enoughcause i've tried and triedto see beyond my doubtsand all of them;were just fruitless attempts
My childhood's full of stories--
Happy endings and of kings:
Of fairy-tales where love prevails
And princes give me wings...
I knew that prince was coming,
But I couldn't stand the wait;
Maybe we don't have to know;
What's there to come in the future.
And maybe ten years after everything
We'll stumble upon each other again,
laughing about how we broke each other's heart.
Love,
We walk
Through the woods of my backyard
My fingers skim across
The rough bark of a tree.
I’ve lost sight of you,
We were supposed to bike through Central Park and ride through the trees.We were supposed to take a trip to the shore and sleep on the beach.We were supposed to plant your garden and protect it from the bees.We were supposed to cuddle all night in
This love has me looking better than ever
my beautiful boy has me believing I'm in heaven.
This sweetness lacks of sorrow and for the rest of tommorow,
you will be mine.
I wake this morning
to my surprise
someone is there
the World in his eyes
Am I dreaming?
Thoughts rationalize
I fell asleep here
Brain replies
Who is this one
Blood is redAnd tears are blueMixed, deep in her heartLies a purple bruiseI've spent way too longThinking of youSo much, that it's started to vanish
She is always there for me when I need her the most,
She always gives me what I need, and to her I toast.
What you did to me, ya she already knows,
So be prepared for the show.
it was here that I fell in love
trapped in the salty waves, burning my skin with the most gentle touch
ripples that altered images dancing in my vision
from an emerald sea to the clearest blue sky
Everyone makes mistakes..
and everyone forgives,
but why'd you forgive me...
I remember the way you talked about him...
You were actually happy when you got to talk,
but then I came into the picture...
I’ve heard you say,“I want a man of God who leads, loves, and stays.” But you won’t follow him when he tries to lead you the right wayinstead you take lead and lead him astray. You seduce him with sinand see it as a win. Don’t tell me you want a B
As a kid, I really wanted a puppy, my mother simply refused.
She got me a fur-real pet,
I wasn’t amused.
“It’s kind of like a puppy!” she said
I want your kisses in the rain
I want your love on bad days
I want your fingers intertwined with mine
I want to hear you sing Watermelon Wine
I want your touch
I want your laugh
where did the minds of the people go?
the minds that love the idea of loving someone
giving yourself to someone, but not physically
Sometimes you look at me
as though i’ve never kissed a girl before.
I cannot tell if it is pity or love
which causes you to fret over my virgin lips.
Love is not about money
The words you have been uttered
But the main thing
You connects with me
Is all about the money
You call me
You said you miss me
But seasonal to say
"I love you"
90s love
True love
Honest love
Just love
I don't want just any kind of love
I want your love
Let me see your face
Touch the oulines
That make up such a beautiful face
His name was Agape. He had a fascinating mind. It was dark but when beams of light would shine through the broken glass that had sunk deeper and deeper into his skull over the years, it was beautiful.
I know immersion.
The complete encapsuling.
Do you love?
It is different.
For each person-
Their own love,
An immersing love.
For me, words.
Reading, writing, speaking.
I found the feeling of love in a teenage boy, deep in his caramel eyes.
The warmth I felt when I stared kept me warm through those cold October nights
When I was thirteen,
I knew exactly who
I was going to marry.
He would be tall,
and strong,
with black hair
and even blacker eyes.
He would be my protector.
I think that
I never understood how much
I could care, why
I love you so much, you frightened me
because I couldn't tell
where the line was
between friends and lovers
I’ll never forget
The day it all started.
Driving home,
I wasn’t excited to see you.
I didn’t really miss you;
Assuming it was nothing.
I’ll never forget
The call to my best friend.
watching the rain fall
makes me vulnerable
every emotion i've ever felt
pours out of me
you
all of my emotions lead
back to you
joy
desolation
envy
lust
all at once
I think thatI am finally over everything.It feels like a weighthas lifted off my chest.I don't need to worry aboutif I am giving off
I know that you don't really care,but I'm here so you should deal with it.Just because you're avoiding my eyesdoesn't mean that I'll disappear.Just because you pretend that it doesn't hurt
A troubled soul mine has been,
For the past year much has conflicted within,
I was left wandering in a foreign land,
My steady life shattered and shifted into one unplanned,
It all started in a sea wrought of Red and Black
Independence among me, us three, never looking back
But every backbeat moving me forward to the sound of music
Imploring the euphoria we seek, of beauty.
I was born a princess, there was no shame in me.
I was happy and innocent, caring and free.
But the years went by, I was just fourteen,
A boy met my eye- he was kind, funny, and lean.
And for every time we touched, It felt like New York was still and quiet; And Las Vegas had gone dark; Big Ben down in London stopped ticking;And the flow of Fallingwater seized; Venice stopped sinking, And Rom
It’d been four years right to the day,Till she had come to see.Her love who’d flown so far awayAcross the deep blue sea. Their hearts had never quivered ever,From the one they most adore.No storm or any violent weatherCould dismay what they bore.
Sadness reigned over her
3 years of pure sadness
Nothing, she was nothing
With one moment with one word
She is taken back
Some people didnt know love was going to hurt ,
but truth be told that isn't love ,
Love is suppose to feel good
Only reason why it hurts is cause were searching for love in the worng people.
(Do You Still Love Me?)
How lucky these sheets would have been to know you.
Do you know about his dimpled cheeks,
His crooked grin,
or his chocolate gaze that dare matches yours,
Do you know he calls me baby,
just like you did,
When she becomes you
and you become her.
See she’s that other half of me
that made room for herself.
The light to my darkness for
Let me smell like cigarettes,
after kissing your sweet, pouty lips.
Help me look from left to right,
please give me wisdom, give me sight.
I'm stranded here with nowhere to turn,
His hair spills around his face like a halo of curls His eyes are dark and careless and captivating They are black holes and I am falling, falling in His laugh sounds like a waterfall Rushing out Spilling out When he laughs his whole body laughs S
I will center around the idea of love
Not knowing what's to come
Soulfully becoming yours
My body will explode once you have caressed me
My mind will wander into a mystery world once you have whispered into my ear
he was so bright
God, he was bright
he made my skin burn when he touched it
he made my heart race,
air so thick I couldn't get a breath
like the hottest day of mid-July.
yes, he was bright
You’re everywhere,
No matter where I’m at I can feel your stare,
Following me like my shadow, your eyes trace my every move,
I do not know the reason, or what it is that you’re trying to prove,
Your name tastes sour now when I say it,
And yes I fell in love, I have no shame to admit,
I loved the things you said to me, you always called me amazing,
So here’s how it goes.I breathe my life into the wind
and the mists carry it to the sea
Love songs and empty words curled
Around ideas of what love
Should be, like horns that ram the unsuspecting,
Shaking and shattering bones
And all expectation of the
The breaking of the heart is the most painful when you think you've found the one, then they just walk our or your life like you were never nothing. The heart breaks when you lose someone you loved with your whole heart.
He walks with a step more than man Bowing beneath the doorway of her room And when he speaks it replaces the air Like cigar smoke He urges her to sit as he lights the fireplace Though she is already hot He stalks to her and his fingertips are rou
This is what I am.
I'm going to go my own way.
What I do is what I can.
Don't let them force me to sway.
My path comes acoss many.
Like brown among branches,
they all just seem the same.
"The blacker the berry, The sweeter the juice"
Is the first quote I think of when I think of you
When I feel the life fall from my eyes,
down towards the ground,
falling through the dips and valleys of my cheeks,
when I feel as though my knees are drawn to the earth,
I really should begin to go.You know I didn't mean it though When I said “I won't see you”. As the clock goes farther in timeAll you do is stay on my mind.I hope for you; that's true, too. Although I know down in my coreI will start to see you mor
Everything people said.Everything they did.All of it was true in some way.“Until it happens to you you won't know how I feel.”I get it nowWhy they say “you have a heavy heart”Now that it's happened to meIt feels like I'm falling and will never get

He had been poison in her veins
And she was insanity to his brain
They made each other sick
Whether it was the with love kind
Or felt bonded to a contract they'd signed
Knotted by promises
So, i heard your name yet again, today.
Yep.
Still got that sour taste and rotten smell that lingers well after you're gone.
Oh, fuck you.
Wait.
That's all you ever wanted.
I’m suppose to forgive you.
I make wishes upon the stars that are laid out on your skin, the ones that shine almost as bright as those orange iris's, but just not as vibrant
It was an ominous sign for our
eternal relationship
when dark clouds covered the blue sky
and you decided to break up with me
you know I always yearned for you
because you were my unique woman and
I’ve been waiting for you
Maybe for a minute
Maybe for my life
Yet, how come I’m waiting
To see your face
To see your body
You
And me
Were best friends
And that was eternal
We shared love and affection
And shared smiles, happiness and sorrows
One day boisterous wind finished this friendship
At the end of the tunnel I see a light;I'm so relieved that it's still in sight.I almost thought you had given up,but I knew when you called me "buttercup,"that was not the case.
This is the the letter that I'll never send.
Dear Ex,
You stole my heart with just one look.
You broke my heart with just one word.
And you fixed my heart with just one kiss.
You're like my own personal drug,
Addicive and intoxicating,
You cast a spell on me,
And I can never break free.
It's dangerous,
And I know I should run,
Inspiration for true love, you always remain,
With your ineffable look and idyllic thoughts,
Your dulcet expressions are very iridescent,
When two lovers are kissing in garden.
I still see the same faces everyday, but something has changed in yours.
Maybe I'm watching too closely for some sign of you missing me.
I am convinced that part of me has always belonged to you. Before we met I walked around with an empty hole somewhere between my lungs and my brain.
Trust is like a piece of glass
Shiny and new with class
May be fragile
And could cause a battle
Once Cracked,
It can never again be exact
Flaws and truth
try to get along.
Wound together like pretzels, dancing
like dandelion seeds in a thunderstorm
weighed down by
the stinging raindrops in the maelstrom.
But
they love each other
Words so sweet never tempted to escape these lipsAs I blow the breezed flowered utterances to youI must ponder in direAre my expressions suffocating?Are my advances tiring?And I must hope in earnest
somehow you've changed everything,
with this simple letter.
You've brought me down from highs
and cured me from my deepest lows.
One day I will tell you my whole story
and you will accept me into your arms,
Life was put into me and in an overtime instance, I was hooked.
Not one soul could take away the love I had for you.
Your smile. My smile. We internally matched. Were one. Whole.
You promised me
Wonderful, glorious things.
You promised me
A white house,
With not-blue shutters,
A pond out front,
And horses in the back
You promised me
As each day goes by there is not a hour I am not thinking about you
I can't even type this poem without tears forming in my eyes
Why did you have to do me the like that?
4.24.16
Pretty girl in a dress walking by the pool.
I watched him as his eyes watched
her every move.
Invisible I felt, for the one I loved was
admiring another.
3.30.16
He stole my golden halo and clipped
my white feathered wings.
Perhaps he's merely a lost boy who
needed them more than me.
He claimed I was part devil who
4.07.16
He left me in March
buried beneath the dirt.
The showers poured in April
and cleaned away the hurt.
I will blossom in May,
for this is my rebirth.
The smell of the fresh April air
Reminds me of this time, last year
The day seemed fair
But suddenly became my worst fear
I never meant what was said
A week before this
I made this bed
Here for two
I wait an hour
I can't move
I want him here
He said he'd try
I know he is
I can't cry
Its not fair
He's so great
I hold my breath when you kiss me to stop the rattling of my ribs and the expansion of lungs. So my body remains undisturbed, unless it is touched by you.
You've been my sun, throughout the darkness given, Just like Jesus I've finally arisen, I need to let the girl of my dreams out of this prison. She's Incarcerated due to the lack of trust,Please listen, because you and I, that's a must. I know my
When this started
It was fun
Or at least
Supposed to be
When this started
It was light-hearted
Or at least
Supposed to be
I am a tsunami.
The water waxes and wanes at my will,
Captivating and crucifying the shoreline.
You are a wildfire.
Endowed with incalculable miles,
Extinguished by the hands of others.
Let one guy left with a fond memory of her raise their hand
It's unlikely to be her bae
Took her so long to realize the damage she's done
Spreading how she felt to everyone
I wish I could have saved you
From falling for a broke thing like me
Because I can see it in everythng you say and do
That the shards left of your heart aren't free
And this isn't what I wanted
I'm waiting
Longing for her to decide to just stay
But at the same time, I know I can't bear the thought of making her stay knowing shes unhappy.
To you:
You left, I cried
I ate ice cream, you went out to drink
I went to school, you stayed at home
I got my degree, you got a new born
I got my house, you barely make rent
First came love like a roaring fire,
Burning intensely with flames only getting higher.
The roses were bought out of a love so deep.
I stayed up all night missing precious sleep.
I hate you,why don't you just die
is what I wish I could say
but part of me still cares no matter how hard I try
I still like you why.
I know the angel of obscurity is long in the futureBut I'm already thereI'm already thereYou kill me everydayand everyday I can't wait to dieYour gentle moving fingers skim my sun withered skin
Ethereal sensations pass through me as he searches for his answer,
Yielding to the slightest touch of his hand as my own
It's not that I don't want to be in a relationship. I do. I want to call someone 'baby' or maybe I'll settle for 'noob' because i was never really affectionate when it mattered.
You can think in a blink,
But you better not wink.
Don't scow at the Polaroids,
I know you're annoyed.
You didn't want to be there,
Because lets face it you don't really care.
On my own little island, there is little means of escape
I sit alone, on my nearly treeless home in the middle of a delta
My only neighbor, hardly acknowledges that I am even there
You’re showing up everywhere nowadays
I’m seeing pieces of you in everything I do
Every breath, every step, every thought
You, you, you
I couldn’t be more infatuated with you
An impossibility, it seems
Love is love, but we frown upon certain kinds.
I remember when I was scared to let the world knowthe kind of love that I like.
Hiding a relationship...Four years to be exact.
Hurting myself and my partner.
Like a ballet dance on blades,Your mind is a fickle thing. Relevé, going fully en pointeOn razorblades,Slice your sole to sorry shreds--So very fucking sorry.
I convinced a scientist to unstitch my DNA,
to tell me what it said inside, and when she
translated the nucleotides, A-T-C-G,
from Morse into the mother tongue, she
Baby, please, sunshine--darling;Gimme more of that light, little bit ofEnthusiastic beaming, sunrays I tore from your shy smile.I love making you think it was your idea.
Bloody carnations, stamped down flat into sizzling concrete;The smell of their demise is sickly sweet.It's caught in my lungs, filling them up as thoughAll the air I now breathe is just tar--
Is that how it's supposed to be
Sitting in quiet because we wore out the words before we spoke
Ignoring the deafening silence that comes crashing around our ears
I swear to you there’s stars in his eyes, bright
Blue like an ocean never ending, begging
You to jump in, tempting
My hand makes contact with yours
Your fingers interlock with my fingers
Your holding my hand in your hand
My hand swings yours forward
We walk hand in hand as one
Your hand squeezes mine
I Need❣
I want to be be with someone who will call me at 3 am to make sure I'm okay.
I want someone who will make me feel like I'm the prettiest, smartest, and coolest girl in the world.
Sitting in the car attached to the cart while grocery shopping with your mother
Being carried from the couch to your bed by your father after you've accidently fallen asleep watching The Little Mermaid
again
I'm in love with you.
I love the sunrise, telling me that it's a new day.
I love the breeze, calming my senses from everything.
I love how the world is imperfect in ways
An image formed
Through the darkness within me
I braced myself
I thought of you and only you, my dear
Softly brushed, an abstract
Bits of snow, it seems to lack
Colors of liquid met
In my world, there are places I've been to
That left me breathless and wonderstruck in the most heartwarming way.
There are people that I've smiled and laughed with,
Help!!!, Help!!!
Somebody help me. I’m stuck on this frickin’ island and I didn’t have time to take anything with me.
Can anybody hear me? Might as well talk to the guy in my head
It has always struck me as odd,
the idea that “loving you” and “losing you”
are only one letter apart.
This small difference is proved
Nine hundred and ten days
Many days filled with laughter,
Few filled with sadness.
Nine hundred and ten days,
"Princess, my princess that's what you are."
The first words you said to me when we first meant.
You were charming, caring, loving.
You had the whole packet.
Everything that I was looking for.
You’re focused on the music
I’m focused on my happiness
The two could co-exist
But for some reason you’re not having it
And I keep coming back again
Thank you.
You changed my entire life with a simple smile.
You bring me happiness and gratitude,
and make me into a better women everyday.
Thank you.
Charismatic and charming is he,
who steals my love only to flee.
He who shines as bright as day,
takes my heart but doesn't stay.
Arrogant and scheming is he,
who picks my flaws and laughs at me.
I like green apple jolly ranchers, and I am different
I told them
I yearned for him to pick me out
To see me as separable
Identifiable
I did not enjoy the glorified blue raspberry
Hell no
I refuse to stand here without you
Choosing to move forward knowing we'll find each other again
Here I try attempting this impossible task
But soon realizing there is no need
Your crystal clear eyes are the first eyes I've ever been able to keep contact with. Your soft touch entrances me, your arms are my home. Your warm body seems to fit with my cool soul. We find that happy medium, you are my safe haven.
The Sailor who callously masses the storm faults at the hand of God
As he inadvertently veils the damage to the stern, the responsibility is forgot.
Alone, no that's not right.
I need 'him' there right by my side.
At least I have an ear to talk right off.
Someone who will speak right back.
We can joke around to make time past.
Can't sleep at night, and it's because of you.
Why is this happening, what the hell am I supposed to do?
Because of you, I can't even think straight.
At work, kicking back, and laying in bed you're all I think of.
My love,
You are the sun to my moon,
And the fork to my spoon.
Without you, I would have none to turn to.
I could never live away from you.
My love,
I could never live one day without you.
She said she's sorry that she made him ashamed
To be vulnerable and open
Since she's been living that way
It was imparted on she, so to him she did the same
She never knew that the girl that she wanted to be
Let me fuck your body, make love to your mind.
You do not critcize, simply coincide.
Just like the leaves, you shall fall in time.
Like success, darling, you shall be mine.
Watching you sleep is like watching the moon
you are so far away and so close at the same time
and when I press my lips to your cheek I see light
I destroy every single thing I touch.
I should've stopped myself when you told me you wanted me.
You are now tangled in a web I've created for myself.
There's blood staining the place my heart should be.
I picture her lovely skull
tracing her thoughts
stripping them naked
with the tips of my fingers
flicking
brushing thoroughly
her needle scalp
Her button eyes
I never promised you a garden full of roses
Or a big blue house with white shutters - one that barely closes
Or a happy home with bright laughter
Or the sound of children's feet running pitter-patter
I didn't know colors.
I thought that they were mixed,
a simple product of light,
bouncing off,
as rays.
Only the modern physics.
That's all I saw.
The calculated facts.
Not loving you?
Why, that's too easy
Like painting in black and blue
Like counting to thirteen
Starting with one, two
I'm not gonna lie it burns for me to say this
faster than our love apparently you thought we should quit
said you couldn't love me before you love yourself
I know I said I thought you were the moon
but right now you are shining
as the sun
I cannot sleep because you are there
My eyes closed you still burn through
The lids and layers of my skin crawling fears
You
It’s a question most have heard before:
What would you do if you were stranded on a desert island by the shore?
What would you want?
The rocks beneath the earth that shelters the lava away.
The gravity that holds us inside of this earth day by day.
The people that try to help me even if I push them away.
my teeth chatter at the sound of your name
my eyes close tightly and I hear the whispers from before
you’ve ruined me
Our meeting?
How could I possibly describe it?
In tones and words and emotions so fleeting
That the memories of it would cry out for injustice
Because its beauty isn't a thing
your smile slowly disappears
and your eyes lose their life
cuts and scars appear
so tempting was that knife
you were as bright as the sun
The rain poured, and I stayed inside.
Plenty of clouds, not a drop of light.
Can't go outside, so I turn on a song
Started feeling lonely before too long.
Come on over, we can dance together.
Part I. They Fell In
Simply put
I cannot understand you
The way you make my chest shorten
And the way all this furniture of our lives came about
It’s hard to act like missing you isn’t killing me. It’s hard to act like I sleep at night when I have somber bags under my eyes and tear stained cheeks. Have you ever felt like crying, but all you can do is smile? I’ve never understood that.
you down bottles like you're going to find something special
don’t act like you love her
because if you did you’d be kissing her and not cigarette butts
you lied to everyone about being sick
Cutting you out of my life would be like ripping out a piece of my heart...
But that part has been so beaten and abused that the rest has learned to beat without it already
People say the relationship is toxic.
That he'll kill me.
(It surely well might be the case)
But it's not your business
I tell myself
People say the relationship ain't healthy.
we'd go out in the city
after one of your shows
makeout in the parking lot
of some drug store
you'll write a song about it
and my eyes
and your drugs
and how it makes you feel alive
His skin is a rounded tan feather on an eagle's spread wings
His hair dark, damp pavement that glistens in the sun.
His eyes a chocolate bar that melts in your mouth while devoured.
Bite your lips; your words are robbery.
You try to destroy anyone with a basilisk’s glare.
Do you grin inside? You’re killing me.
stop - release my eyes, so frail,from yours which cease to careand my misery, so deeply entailed,from my soul, running cold with despair.
Pludering towards the shores
the hurricane rises higher,
each wave more fierce then that last.
The sea green water churns
and those on land fear the damage it may do,
i’m high-maintenance, baby, i swear it, and this you have to know,
and i know that you disagree, because for you this is just how things go.
but though i know you don’t care for it, you can’t just ignore all my texts.
A tinted red rose grazes my cheeks when I think of the time that you licked your lips after kissing me
when I asked you why, you said you could still taste me.
It was delicately beautiful and disturbing all at the same time,
You told me I made you feel the way
I feel when I draw circles under my tongue,
but I'm not very good with new concepts.Driving the nails into the coffin of my inhibitions,
The blue of the sky matches your eyes
I glide around you,
With pep and coyish glides
The heat of your touch clouds my gaze
And I yearn for that fog to stay
I glide around you
Red with craze
My hands are often cold,
like ice, like the Arctic.
I dont know why.
I must tuck them into my lap,
just to warm them.
But when I'm with you,
they get hotter,
like the heat of a fireplace,
mind twists like a hanger that’s rusted and bent
dangling off of the clothes rack all metal and dents
if you asked me I’d tell you I don’t have a clue
evergreen forest
and blue wintry eyes
vines that consume
every fear, every lie
a five-petaled flower
adrift on a tear
the love song hangs unspoken, there for you
to steal from my lips as you stole my heart.
and now there’s nothing that I would not do:
I’d barter, kill, and for your love I’d starve.
Every day is a new moon the same the sun shines brighter than my name
the clock ticks with every certainty that tomorrow will come
this certainty is fact.
The same certainty that you will tell me you love me the next day.
Hard to hate when he’s liked:
A million reasons to keep fighting but he justs sits.
Thoughts that scream in his mind but stay mute to the one he claims he loves.
Why does he do this?
Inhale.
Exxxxhale..
Check your mirrors.
Watch your speed.
Put your hands at 10 and 2.
Why do I keep thinking about you?
Stop.
Stop behind the white line.
Wait your turn.
And she dances away with a smile on her face
So candid, full of joy and life
But only to the naked eye, will she appear to be this way
He was awkward and clumsy
And rather shy
But there was beauty in his honesty when he was stuttering
And there was sweetness in his inherent need
To ask permission for everything he did
It was a little sad
I lay down in bed thinking about what could be going on through your head
Where are your thoughts
Who is in them
How are you feelings
I ask these questions repeatedly as I want to know everything about you

Flirt
Date
Calls
Kisses
Deep conversations
All I wanted was to be wanted
You gave me meaning
A purpose
A reason to live
I lost myself in you
Who am I without you
You said you loved me
But then you left me
I want someone.
Someone whose thoughts will collide with mine.
Someone whose thoughts shall make love with mine.
Someone whose on the same wavelength as me.
Someone who can fuck with me.
Maybe
Maybe I always knew
It'd be toxic
You'd be toxic
But maybe
I craved that
Exquisite poison
That would undeniably
Silence my heart.
Love is strange
It can be misunderstood
Sometimes it is a result of fear
A drop of compassion,
A dash of respect,
A pinch of naivety,
And maybe some caring nature
There are many types of love,
You—
You are the only one that accepts me as I am.
You ply to my will no matter how forcefully I embrace you.
No matter how many times I change my mind or turn away,
On my cheek he'll kissThat's something that I'll missHis fingers between mineAnd how he smelled of pineHis giggle lingers in my earHis voice is oh so dearI miss the grey of his eyes
My mind keeps replaying the mornings when i'd wake up with you on my mind.
2 hours away
getting ready, to look good--for you
getting butterflies in my stomach
2 a.m.
caught up in my feelings
got your image running through my head
flipping through the scenery
lost or lonely
I don't know
can you tell me what I'm feeling
In those perfect awkward momentsThe lingering tendrils of laughterWith your curly hair in a wicked mess
i love you
is so overused
thats why
i always pause
before i tell you
that i love you
because i want you
to know that im serious
and i hope
for my sake and yours
Your lips give juice from the sweetest fruit.
Your dick gives pleasure like an unworldly treasure.
Your soul is not humdrum; it's much like the sun.
I am not she
I will never look the same
But, I am me
And you are to blame.
You say that you love me
How can that be?
I am not perfect
I’m only maybe a 3.
In your eye,
It is a painful memory
To which there is no remedy.
I cut you; you don't bleed.
No eyelids, you don't see
That I cannot breathe,
And I am on my knees,
We met again in the dark last night,
But before I let you go I left my mark.
And for a while I'll haunt your reflection.
Every time you see it, you'll also see me.
I use to feel like I wasn't enough
For anyone to cherish or place above.
I use to feel like I wasn't enough
Unless it involved emotionally detached touch.
I’m falling to pieces
From these full-moon musings
I kept a journal
Stayed up all night
You promised one day
But I wanted forever
Save your sorries
I forgot I loved you.
It was never me in your memories,
And I have learned the hard way
Heartbreak has no remedies.
Set aside tragedy,
With every heartbeat breathe in,
Even someone cold as you
Could feel this summer heat
I would just like to know
If your heart breaks when it beats
August has long since gone
Your voice creeps in my head
My heart is light like a feather, dark like night.
Your heart is warm like a fire, brighter than the sun.
Fire and ice, I'm dark, you're light,
But if you mix it right, it can be paradise.
I don't know what color his eyes are.
I know that they're somewhere between
blue and green and gray
but I cannot say exactly
I have memorized every detail of him.
I could map out his chest and
Have you thought that just for a minute that am not not the person you hoped id be ?
Our days are more gray and white, then them bright vivid colors they used to be .
Can't ever seem to see eye to eye for nothing .
It's no longer him and I
It's we
We have been changed
We are one person now
I breathe him
and he breathes I
We are together
In and around each other
soul weaved into soul
“Go with your gut feeling."
I don’t feel anything
Except the heat from my brain
Coupled with the pain of thinking of him
Cause I can’t, Won’t let myself stop thinking of you
I don't believe in them
Especially when people play the roles
I'm sleep, thinking I’m dreaming them
I met a boy and asked him what he thought of our relationship
You're a devil. You're a menace.
No more love for you is your penance.
You're irrational. You're belligerent.
How stupid was I to think you were different?
Sitting in shipless sea
you wade and wait for me.
You wish I'd get in but
I wouldn't risk the tragedy
of a storm, to bear us back
to a foreign shore.
Alone, together,
with no hope for another.
When I hold your hand
My fingers are always tighter
Than yours
I'm starting to wonder
If this leaks into other
Parts of us like
Rainwater into the ocean
Like how I always hug you
Longer
Love blooms like pretty eyelashesunsuspecting fly landsvicious Venus snaps her preyrips him to shredssucks him dryheartlessa carnivorous plant!

Peel off my layersas we flip through feelingslike perusing some brain file.You're so indiscriminatewith your oh-so-inconsequentialattitude seething mythical fury.When real love flees
My lips ache for yours like a dry dessert craves the water of a downpour.
Will my tears ever be dried by the gentle wipe of your hand across my eyes?
Will my hand ever be able to feel the smooth, light creases in your hand?
You set a fire in me
But you didn't do it for me, you did it for yourself
I burned bright and warm for you
I let the fire consume me
But like all fires I burned out so you left.
I'm at the tipping point
of being fine and okay.
Okay with the fact
that you are trying to
fix yourself, on your own.
And I'm fine...
I'm fine...
I'm fine that you won't
Why create a poem if not for a loved one?
Why sing a song for someone if not for someone special?
Why not just make it something less meaningful since you dont like them?
Well here is a wake up call.
Whoa, that man have caught my eye
My perceptions far on edge
I wonder why
Who could he be?
An abuser came straight from hell
To beat up on little ole me?
My Love, did you know?
The sound of your voice was and is sweet and so sincere.
The taste of your lips was and is sentimentally divine.
Your touch gave me astonishing goose-bumps.
It's 6:27 on a Thursday morning
I woke up with a knife in my stomach and I'm missing you
It's 7:39 on a Thursday morning
Nervous glances we exchange
across the lunch yard,
our eyes locked in a nervous dance,
bounding apart the second they meet
Too nervous to say aloud,
that my stomach is aflutter
I encouraged myself,
I mounted on a voyage to the far reaches of space
a spaceship fueled by the sadness of my heart
a pioneer of the cold, the void, and the emptiness
I'm so in to you .....how do I get through to youI want you so bad ....its driving me madBut then I think to myselfI want this to last ......cause you the best I've ever met.....and I don't want to ruin this just yet.....cause the feeling I get wi

Never was there anything as sweet
as laying in your arms fast asleep
Never could there be
softer words spoken then from he
Only one could be the perfect fit
it so happens that we go hip to hip
Tingling sensations oing through my ear
and your distinctive lips draws me near.
Vibrations going through me bed.
Is this love or lust instead?
Wake up early in the morning and i'll be here
The sun shined, and the sand burned,
The waves were soothing and calm,
My hair soared while the wind turned,
The hot sand was grasped in my palm.
I felt a sensation of unexplainable joy,
Jealousy doesn't get you anywhere in life. Chasing doesn't get you the person you want. Stealing doesn't get you the satisfaction you deserve. Screaming doesn't get people to listen. 01°30•15°
I have a healthy fear of lying
To myself and those around me
Often these lies
They won't die
No matter how hard I try
I just feel like I'm dying.
Sometimes I find I'm lost for words
Sometimes I lie and the truth it hurts
Sometimes I cry and i fall to earth
Falling too deep, my feet in the dirt
Sometimes the tears, they mask the pain
I linger
I stare
I play with your hair that shines in the sherbet sky
my eyes burn yellow and orange
I've forgotten you've scorned
any notion of touching you
She perches herself in front of her mirrorResting on a peach vanity stoolBlack lace accentuaes her curvatureShe removes the eleastic band from her bunGolden vines caress her shoulders
Yeah, I quit, so what?
Our team was terrible, it sucked
You could tell from the first games
That weren’t on the same page
I was hitting the ball, getting triples
When life leaves me with an overwhelming day,
I close my eyes and to Him I pray.
I put my trust in Him, for I know Hes there.
You were a bird
Free, fragile
He was a vulture
Cruel, devious
You were a storm
Somber, dark
Dear my Love, the walls have fallen,
The stones and mortar have given way.
Authorities have not yet told
If it were attack, or mere decay.
The resting village still lies in peace,
You've gotten fingerprints,
All over my favorite movies and songs
I have memorized all the break up songs
Cried a thousand times
Remembered your beautiful eyes and face
But…
The memory of what’s behind it
Breaks me up every time
I want to say I love you
Come,
Sit down and view my world
Let me take you in
They say my name
As if it is I that should be ashamed.
And yet, I win another battle
How was it so easy to change on me
We use to be so deeply in love
That when you were sad,
I cried
When I was hot ,
You Sweated
When i thought,
You reacted
If you had an enemy
You lift my youthful soul,
A sinking ship
Your icy blue waters warm me
Your firy red sun chills my spine
These waves we ride send us soarng through the night
At daybreak we see the light
So much depends upon
A kiss
For so many feelings
For so many experiences
Because of a kiss
Me and You
I was your love and you were my babe
Sounds cliche and cheesy but why not hun
Just a couple of kids who secretely liked the other for years
But this was not known until recent
Do you feel that?
That feeling of pure satisfaction and highness?
Oh, how I love that feeling.
The feeling of the liquid being push into my viens,
I used to tell myselfthat I cannot loveI will not loveI wont allow my self tobecause that was easierit was easier to break heartsand say goodbyeand runwhen you don’t have anythingholding you backor tying you downmy mindand bodyhad gone numband for...

I still dream...
A friend of Mine,
Then A boy age of 10,
A neighbor friend of mine,
As close as heart,
Remember days together we played,
Never missed a day he in dream,
I love you with a love not unprofound
But so gentle, tender, kind
That when the full force hits you
You don’t move an inch.
Like a gentle breeze it lifts your hair
And its tendrils make you smile
love is a soft, and strong feeling,
We can feel it so right or so wrong.
It makes us smile, and make us frown.
Love can last for ever or for a day,
It makes us wanna run or wanna stay,
When the time gets tough
Seems like there's no light to shine,
You will be alone at the darkest night.
But there's always stars that shine with bright light,
And when you look at them, see the shining light!
They say nothing lasts forever.
Now I know to this you'll disagree.
You may say we'll last forever,
but forever is what we'll never be.
What would you do,
if I said we won't last forever?
Yeah I never never know,
but it always goes to show
that I'm not you.
Oh yes it's true.
And you never never know,
but it always goes to show
that I'm just me.
Oh can't you see?
It's 12 am and I'm starting to realize that I literally want no one else but you and I only want to touch and draw on your skin and I only want your hands on me and I only want to comb my fingers through your hair and I only want your lips to e
The key to mystery is balance;
Though, I suppose, it doesn't really matter if you're not trying.
Sometimes the silence doesn't hang quite as heavy as it used to
As I stare at the deep blue sea
I think of you and me
I hear the wind whispering in my ear
The love story that is near
My Aztec warrior we meet again
Right on this earth were we first met
When the nights were dark and the clouds were gray
My heart was broken and I couldn’t feel my legs
Too many drugs had killed my brain
The stars had faded
The hope was gone
When beside you
Nothing else is seen
Nothing else can be felt
I only see us
And what we are
I see nothing else
I no longer see the oain
That I have seen for years
All was in vain
We knew it
Our hearts have fractured
But only I am pierced by the shards
Now words are exchanged
You didn’t know how you spoke
Through the emptiness of your eyes
One day you were there
By my side
Hand in hand
Than one day you left
No words were spoken
you
Were
Gone
Waiting for you
Hoping someday
You'll return.
(A.K.A 'Question')Why praise God, onlyto curse & challenge His namewhen a trial comes?
I want you.
I want you so bad to be like her.
To remind me of the times when I had a smile and everything was fine.
The glow and look in your eye.
A shock of excitement from your smile.
Spread of warmth from those delicate hands
Maybe even a stride in your walk
Almost everything in daily life
You're there
We were there
We listened to this
We sang to that
We ate here
There
We kissed here
We just talked there
You liked this
I really don't need your shit
I don't want it
Don't have to take it
Don't need to hear it
I live with the memories of the past
What I've done
What I've said
Who are you to remind me
Being left all alone
After all the effort put in
The effort wasn't noticed
It was that or a step forward
Many steps back
I could say there were times when I didn't care
I won't like
Do not love a boy who will not read your poetry.
If you pour your heart into ink and paperAnd he refuses to read, he is not right for you.
You are a freshman in high school.
He is a senior.
Weeks and months and years
They say it all goes by so fast
But not when you’re waiting for something
Anticipating a day so far in the future, it seems like forever
What happens when that day comes?
It is now that I understand
that I have underestimated the angst
towards complacency.
Complacency is being finished.
Uninterested.
The lack of fear.
I love the touch of your warm hands running through my hair.
How we share the Safire stars that holds the skies together.
I cherish the moment when you drop a heart of white chocolate into my coffee.
please dont ask me to
write about our love
or about us at all
because i can only
write poetry
on the things that kill me
and if you want a
poem from me
You didn't tell me you
loved me
in so many words
but in the way you
looked at me
and held me
you didn't tell me
goodbye
in so many words
man my minds a train wreck so explosive but nobody knows what's going on cuz I show no emotion. I don't feel the need to tell people my problems.simply because my problems are my problems.
Whisper in my ears “I love you”
For it is an act of my ecstasy
Those words I live for daily
The love we shared eternally
Whisper in my ears “I love you”
For it etched a tattoo in my soul
My heart was once your home.
Lucky for the girl who have your heart now
Lucky, for she finally captured what was once mine.
Be happy, I know you already are.
I want to be happy for you
Your scent reminds me of blossoms
Your smile is the light of my mood
Possibly seeing myself in your eyes
That swift touch like heavens bliss
Treasuring those senses
For those smell, sight, and touch
To all wounds of the heart,
Time is the antidote.
Designed like a coat
Soothing the pain as it impart
It is nonpareil
It understands what you want
As time acts more than a confidant
Is it the way you look at me when i'm mad
Or maybe is it the way I smile when I sad
You bring out the better side of me
Even though you make me mad when you test me
My pride tries to stand in the way
My two little windows look out on the world
Seeing things that it cannot explain
To to light in the attic, the windows exclaimed,
"What is it we see?"
To which the light said “Love.”
Every scar is a reason,
A reason to hold,
A reason to love...
Let me hold you in my arms tonight,
Showing you that I can see the beauty through the beast,
Two idiots
sneak off
after school
to cuddle.
They park
at Wawa
and crawl
in back.
Lying together,
listening to
sleepy music,
Now, may I love you evermore
through space and endless time?
The thought of life without you might
keep me from another rhyme.
So will you give me the honor
of using your left hand?
I love the way you look at me,
I love the way you smile,
I love the way you laugh at me,
I love your quirky style.
I love the way you bite your lip
and play with my hair,
Crashing down,falling hardBroken dreams, broken heartI guess I'm not really sure where to startPicking up after your goneWide awake at night, listening to our old songs
If love were something that could walk and speakIt’d do such as you doIf dreams were something that could take shapeMine would live as youFor dreams do not always cause you to smile
Your demeanor fooled me.
Thug hood hard ass sending chills down my spine I despised you at first glance
I wanted to tell you how I feel,
But I don't want you to run away;
For the ones who I care for and love the most
Fly.
What are you thinking?
Me?
If you were here, what would I say?
I've imagined it more than
I've breathed.
If you were here...
The hypothetical.
Then reality.
If you dusted my skin for fingerprints you would find a multitude of people have touched me in all of the most
The belief of who you were is as irrelevant as crayons to dog food,
I used to be different
The world was brighter
I always had a smile
Nothing could bring me down
You are so close to my heart.
You completely skipped the start.
We turned into a thing,
So unexpected, so beautiful, so strange.
You are 800 miles away,
but it'll all be okay, One Day.
I’ve never been in love, but I hope love feels like fireworks in your chest and butterflies in your stomach and music in your head and colors in your soul.
Falling endlessly into a world of darkness and peace, my world drifts away and i drop from conciousness with a suddenness that makes my limbs weak and my mind roars at the endless possibilities that are to become dreams.
People from across the globe fall in love
from house to house or thousand of miles away
Never meeting except online
what if you met that person face to face
would all those feeling come flooding back
My heart was about to be broken
But you came just in time
You saved me from falling
My heart belongs to you
No, that wasn’t a euphemism for
Anything, you have a dirty mind.
I keep reminding you to buy milk but
All you do is write in my books,
My first editions of going nowhere,
One month
Four weeks
Twenty eight days.
A lifetime in a moment, two heartbeats in a second.
First week of the semester you were there
Skating in and out of my vision.
I noticed, but didn't pause
I miss the sound of your voice
I miss your smiling face
You're so far away
But soon my darling we will be together
Soon I will feel your loving embrace
Soon I will feel your passionate kiss
in this moment, I did die.
the smile on your lips.
the soft touch of your skin.
the twinkle in your eye.
in this moment, I could die.
the sound of your breathing.
the rhythm of your heart beating.
Look Here N, You stole me
Yes for the very first time someone has stolen me in years
But please know I’m very fragile and have high self-esteem
And unlike the body I live in I don’t have any fears
Am I wrong to think about you like this?
Will I open up your skies?
You would say no and walk away pissed
But you know I know I hear your cries
We have the same heart same beat
I think that is a good question
C+N?
Will it ever work while I hurt and think about you
Knowing that the love I have for you might be true
But it doesn’t come back to me boo
I guess I’ve lost the argument
EVERYDAY LOVE
Because she lights up my life
Every day and every night,
I wish I could make her my wife
The name N goes so far
He really does he’s like Jafar
Giving him promise, my times, and even my attention
It’s like he’s got full dominance
Beautiful green eyes like emerald seas
I hope you think of meas you are flicking through old moviesas you are kissing lips thinnerfar thinner than my ownas you are hearing words that triggerpast text messages exchanged
once i love you
it can't be changed
no matter what the out come is
me and you
R one forever
loving you isn't the hardest part
lossing you is the worst part
but not being able to see you
feel you
love you
this hurts me the most
A sweet glow follows his every glance,
My seductive love heats the land.
While we spin around enjoyuing the dance,
My love travels the world holding my hand.
Bringing cheer to fauna and flora,
I opened up my narrow sighted mind
In hopes that it was you that I find
with my luck the sun will not shine
you continue to give me no signs
the rain pouring down it hurts my ears
Two broken souls,
Lost at sea,
Will find each other,
When it’s meant to be.
But for now,
They search and search
For a love that burns bright.
They look at the same sky,
Someone is going to come this way one day,I know I expect a miracle today,But, no one can come to me unless the street dogs,No man comes to me except the rain,
My spanish lover is charming
He speaks with the knowlege of and educated graduate
He walks with the stride of an ambitious gentleman
He's different from the others, obviously
You told me you loved me,
Those words sounded like honey to my ears.
I let myself fall.
I didn't realize until I hit the ground,
that they weren't honey at all.
They were poison to my mind.
For those of you who have a BURN BOOK... This is different. Not really.
JS- My first kiss, nice enough kid.
TH- Angry Anakin, such a moodie cutie. Well, Padme didn't stick around.
This is specifically directed to you.
You may not be here to hear my words,
But as long as the words exist,
As long as the words have been spoken
And they are directed to you
It doesn’t matter.
You're dancing fingers along fret boards, stopping on notes to stop my heart.
Writing me love songs from the ashes of past sadness as if its your job to learn the melody of my soul.
Is it?
She was beautiful beyond compareyoung, brunette, and fairI could not help but call “Hello there!”My dear and beloved Lillian.
Craving the embrace of your limbs intertwined with mine,
Leaving marks upon my sunken skin,
Oh how our love was yet another violent crime,
However you left me broken and thin,
I thought you was the one, I swear to god I thought I thought you was the one, and now i'm just to myself thinking and linking what did I do wrong so you could not even say so long you was gone, told me you would be here and ten years from now,
To smell to breathe to feel to be alive
This are my greatest joy
Knowing i can smell your scent
Knowing i can breathe what you percieve
Knowing i can feel your warmth, your touch
I was put on this earth for a mission, and my massion was to find you. I have completed what God wanted me to do. I never thought that it would be for a short period of time.
You bring out the love in me.
The tsunami of emotions in me
The tornado of desires in me
As you leave me tremble in my knees
You bring out the colonized
Colonized by love
The worst part is not knowing why.
Was it he or I who did not try?
Was it my height, my personality?
Or was our relationship just a formality.
Were we in love with the idea of us,
but never eachother?
Into your heaven drifts your lonely pen.
You sketched me a beautiful sky.
In shapes and clors not colored in, your maniatic illusion is addicting.
Mix together your deepest emotions on the palette of my skin.
The life in your eye, the tenderness of your skin.
Your breath on my neck, that trembles me within.
A lover's Dance is patient and caring it nourishes the heart, soul and mind.
It bring you deligh and bliss within knowing that he will be with you through thick and thin.
When I find myself among a sea of negative ions,
Forcing, pushing, trying to keep distance,
Repelling from my indistinguished negative charge,
You are a positive ion.
You could say I am attracted to you.
you think that holding someone tight will
bring them closer
not a regular tight
tighter than that
close enough that you are him
and she is you
I am more in love with you now than I've ever been
And all I have is a folder of pictures saved on my phone
And right now you are exactly 719.6 miles away from me
Yet every night I feel like you're next to me
You've captured her, she's free no more. You've vanquished her, she lives no more. She's already dead but you dance on her grave like a maniac hungry for any drop of profit you may rape from her body.
Is it still just a game—?
When you’re holding me close underwater
And I’m wondering how long you’ll let me wait
Before I turn around to see you face to face
In the dark, alone and falling
You are the smile on my face
You are the tears that cascade down my silken cheeks
You are the bubbles of laughter that escape my lips
You are the gut wrentching sobs that pass through my mouth
Things I [don't] want you to know:
• Sometimes I sit in my closet and stare at the amount of clothes I have. And it makes me sick to think I'm so lucky when really, I don't like being alive.
i called him last night
it was 5:23 am
the phone went to voicemail-he was sleeping because he had to work in the morning
my friends tried to take the phone away from me
My Love, My Love
Pain.
That is all I ever felt without you hugging me into a soft embrace,
Lost.
Love was in the air. You and him were the only people breathing. The world stopped for the of two of you. For your adventure seemed so endless.
You used to whisper into my ear sweet nothings
I love you,
I would never hurt you,
Leave you,
I will only and always love you.
Dirty feet and white sheetsLovers down and oceans foundTravel with me and discoverWhere we are and where we are meant to be
I dream of a place
One distant, yet close
I dream of a face
With blue eyes and a sweet nose.
I dream of friends,
Friends I met long ago.
I dream this chapter ends
And I find a new home.
My mind is sense, it keeps me safe.
My heart is passion, it beats it breaks.
My mind and heart are always challenged
My heart and mind are never balanced.
My mind “thinks” and “ticks” and makes its lists
The soft breeze sways the trees
As you twirl me in a bed of leaves
to the rhythm of our beating hearts
You pull me close and our souls' music starts
Your breath whispers in my ear
Every morning,
Every day,
i feel as though i haven't found glory,
maybe i'm a stray.
If he could only know,
how i feel as though
i've lost him.
Throughout the years,
How do you live with yourself?
How can you sit there and pretend nothing happened?
Don’t you realize?
Can’t you see what my life has become because of you?
Because I let you in,
Oh, If they only knew....
It's never who they think it is
Those who would suspect
that you long for someone
There's a large crowd
and I'm in the back.
All preps and pretties
with beautiful bodies
are at the front.
The second crowd,
only with men
hurry to find the prettiest girl
My heart is still breaking and I haven't stopped thinking of you since.
This apple sends down my spine and puts goosebumps on my skin,
but not like you can.
I'm trying to cope.
No one wants us to be together,
Every time we're around each other
our friends give us stormy, cloudy weather,
Rain drops,
Thunder storms and Rumor Swirls
How do we live through this bad weather,
When I try reading his mind Its just a Big Question mark. When I examine his eyes He looks past me, And more focus on anonymous things.
For what is a heart
if it is not brave?
What is it for
if not for feeling
the courage
to invite
every stranger
into Its home
To
I AM the girl who loves coffee and good music Who loves to read and paint and sit and enjoy. Who loves to be at peace, floating through life. Who you can find in a big sweatshirt and panties, Without a care in the world.
Everytime I look at you
My life changes for the better.
Whenever I feel like crying,
We can laugh together.
All I need is a glance in your eyes.
You don't see how perfect you are
But I wish you did.
When we run, what do we have to show for it?
When we're nervous, no one will know of it
When we draw it, we obscure it
And defile and hurt it
It's ill-conceived to put
The word love, with the word hurt
Hiding my head, losing my mind.
Drowning in sorrow, surrounded in sadness.
Gathering my thought, smothering them with hate.
Searching for a reason
But found chaos.
Clinging to hope
But found reality.
Sugar does not crave more sugar
and vinegar does not crave more acidity.
Sugar craves water, and heat.
It longs to be a syrup–smooth, sticky, and sweet.
Promise me, we will still be in love, years from now.
Promise me that you kiss my tears away when I cry.
Promise me that some nights, you'll let me hold you the way you do me.
Roses are red
but not as red as the sunset in my dreams,
where we're sitting together on the beach,
laying, cuddling in the warmth of the ending day
Violets are blue
Love is the ocean.
It's unpredictable, one minute it's smooth sailing and the next it's a terrifying storm of overwhelming waves.
I don't miss the color of your eyes;but the way they looked at me as if I were all that mattered.I don't miss the shape of your lips;but the way they felt as they grazed the surface of my skin.
Came in a text message I couldn't do nothing but stay still in silence thinking it's a joke
I felt used where the values of my heart didn't have no artificial price tag
For I am only human,
I long for his touch,
His scent,
His grace,
His trace.
When he is no longer near,
I whimper like a pup.
I do not show this side because I know
Tell me everything that makes you you
all your flaws, so I can love them,
all your scars, so I can kiss them,
and in the night I will cover your body with all the love I
have to offer
I was once an open book; my emotions and deepest thoughts were the cover.
One day someone ripped out my pages and tossed me into a dark corner.
The other day, someone asked me what made you different from all the other guys I've dated.
And all I could think of was how happy you make me feel
But it got me thinking, shouldn't every guy make you happy?
Dead and gone you may now be
Take your place among the stars
Our joyous, wonderful memories
Forever, dwell within my heart
This is a poem for the next girl to break my heart.
I will write angry poems about you.
Post them on billboards.
Pray to a God that I don’t believe in.
Dead stars should not shine.
From the time I was a cub, I knew how to roar.
My mother lit a fire in me before my paws touched the earth
And maybe I’ve burnt things down.
Arson is a crime, but love is not.
I was taught to love all men,
I’ve been described as free, a description that stayed with me because I can’t be tied
down, what’s the point. What’s the point to be an equal in society, I want to dance
To be loved by a beaten soul
Is a special kind of love
To be loved by one who is not given it
Is beautiful
To know I am special enough to hold such a delicate heart within my rough hands
Held back by our own limitations,so we start on our medications.Arguments fought through litigations,never considering the implications.
I am woman. You are man.
Though I am not Eve nor are you Adam.
The deceit lies on the tip of a tongue's vacant truth,
they never even noticed
the redness in her eyes
they never even noticed
the signs that everyday she cried
they never even noticed
because they never even cared
he's a man
but really
he's sarcasm
lanky, underfed, patched whole with drugs.
he scares away crows but he doesn't
scare me. I'll pay for this later.
but sunsets sitting in a haze of
Do you know the definition of distance?
When I can't turn around and see you
or walk down the street and be near you.
I go throuh everyday looking for something that isn't there but all I find is my shadow.
You say I am a decent writerSo I write this one to youYou who loves me for all of meNot just the me that is nice and pleasantBut the me that is mean and dark and confused
You use to be my Luke Sky-Walker, and now you are my Hans Solo. (Star Wars)
You were tired of monkeying around. (Jungle Book)
This...
This is settling.
Sitting here with you
Staring at this static fuzz on the TV screen,
Listless, blank, and melancholy.
We gave up so long ago,
I am bittersweet,
Bittersweet and scared.
I am unable to let go
Of all my fears.
Interested in the journey,
But very wary of the road,
I'm worried by upcoming decisions
Make me happy
Make me smile
for hours
Give me the fondest
memories that I smile
when you’re not around
Make me think
Make me ponder
things I never thought
She called upon me to aid her,
to stop the crying. Her crying
is a marathon runner who can never reach the finish line.
I’m no savior, but I’m the only one
left to care.
How do others expect me to describe you?
How do you describe what growing feels like?
How do you describe what breathing feels like?
How do you describe what being asleep feels like?
With a swift brush of the breeze, you are beautiful.
Soaking in your everlasting scent, I can see you.
The ability to taste your bountiful lips is euforic, in the sense of purity and love.
My skin burns where your hands once were like acid on light flesh.
I've taken four showers today to try to wash away the pain but your handprint stays on my porcelain skin.
She saw this girl but didn't think much of her.
Then she would start seeing her around a lot.
Randomly they had a conversation which felt right.
They started talking and instantly had a connection.
Prisoner of Words Unsaid
For so long
For so long I've been a prisoner
A life sentenced prisoner for a crime they committed for me
Like Alicia Keys "I'm a prisoner of words unsaid
emotional calousses and psychological imbalances
there's unwanted inhabitants in my mind's inner palaces
i never fathomed this like a sudden heart attack kicks in
i need to relax, sip the jack, numb the madness
To be a thing of staggering perfection,
Unlost in a crowd of typography,
But not to the masses of passerby,
Rather to one specific soul
Who sees a light in dim, dust rooms
What the hell is wrong with you?Don’t you know I’m beaten and blue?Leave me alone.I’ve done nothing to you.
Lost in your eyes I want to feel the sunrise. I want to feel the flutter of your heartbeat, in this beautiful demise. Though your hunger will make me bleed, my thirst for you will intervene. Lust lust I'm feeling lust lust, lust lust lust.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I like bacon
More than I like you
Tulips are pink
Marigolds are yellow
Don't you dare
Touch my jello
I am writing this to you.
My love, my ecstacy, the one and only I come to.
You know who you are,
This isn't my nightmare, no! My dreams and thoughts and veins ache for you! For release. To see them all again. All over. This isnt my nightmare, no! Cover me in pretty pink lines, baby, I need you now! no! Not you... not you...
His hands reach for mine.
They reach for a part of my soul
That I keep
Guarded,
Untouched.
He yearns for it,
And I for him.
Yet, I do not lust for his soul,
Like mine;
Is it not enough for you that you've ripped my heart out already.
You fucking broke it and now you have to step on every single one of the pieces too?
Was it never enough for you to just know that I loved you?
It was a day the Lord made;
the day this little raven came to be.
Such grace and strength had he.
He yearned for the day--his day--
when he could finally fly free.
All the courage in the world
I dream of being in your arms,
Laying my head across your chest.
I slowly wake up and, half asleep
I can still feel you as you rest.
We're together, just us two
I hug you tight and won't let go,
You took it
Didn't even have to ask
No persuasion was necessary
All I had to hear
Were those three words.
Desperate to believe
I listened and gave in
To an unasked proposition
Broken roads engulfed with rubble
A heart apiece, blind eyes focusing
Who can stand to face the trouble
The hearts that burn, spurned
Eager to face another day, wanting
Darling, light that cigarette
Let the ashes fall
With them your dreams
Cause tomorrow when you wake up
You'll realize we never met
Standing on that boardwalk
In the dark of night
Its 11:55 right now and i began to think to myself why?
Why me? Why now?
I work blood sweat an tears and do not know the reason why?
Why does she lie? Why now?
My hands get weak when i think of this situation,
As I child I would speak
No one could hear me
Was I talking to loud?
Or were their thoughts preoccupied?
The day I discovered the power of ink
Was the day I discovered the power within me
I try to stay away from you
But you keep on coming back
I see the desperation
but I do not give a flack
You're a crazy creepy stalking pig
who I want far, far away
but you just seem to return to me
The romance and the bliss
the honeymoon phase, that special kiss.
I want so badly to be held tight,
to be smothered in your love and to sleep with at night.
Is my hair ugly?
Do I talk too much?
We moved perpendicularly,
Bringing with us no exact intentions.
We wore binoculars at our eyes, aimed at the future
But we looked through rosy lenses.
We hoped without restriction,
I’m trying to healSo I send this alertMy mind feels angerMy heart is hurtPlease just listenTake in what I sayI tell you because I careThings cannot be this wayIt’s only because
Still thinking the things my lips can't say. You may not be flawless but it seems that way. The little things count the most, and I'll never let go of my hope.
I guess my love is worthless,
along with everything I do,
but how else
can I announce
my adoration for you?
My heart is sealed forever,
no way to be let loose.
The other day was great.
We agreed to see each other again
And trust me, I've made an effort
But it's obvious you haven't,
So let's talk.
Talk about what?!
he takes all i have
and all he leaves behind
is my regret and sorrow that
has remained for quite some time
i fade to ashes in the wind
when his words singe away my pain
When you kiss me, I scream intoyour mouth as hard as I canso every time you puffa cigarette, youmight think of me.
enough of your comfortand poetry about innocence
my scars are not an invitationfor you to kiss my wrists
and how dare you try to make me feellike my wars weren’t realdid not exist
he told me nothing could be without me.
he couldnt live in this world if there was no "we".
saying all this while "she" was laying in his bed.
all these lies fed straight to my head.
this passion for you
melted into these meaningless words on a page no one will read
and the hours and minutes i spend bleeding these feelings and dead smiles
Little girl grown, how you toss and turn in your bed while images of him plague your sweet mind.In the night-time you see his face.
Out here, it's just you and me
No one telling us who to be
The moonlight and the stars shining so bright embrace us as we embrace each other
I used to think I loved you
I used to think you cared
I used to think "this is it"
I used to be so scared
I used to want to be your all
I used to think you did too
I get into the car and you begin to drive
The only thing we share on our journey is
Silence
It smothers our words
Chokes our voices
Louder than anything that could be spoken
My knight in shiny armor
Is but a mere common man
Who I learned to intensely adore
By taking me to worlds no one else can
He entered my Spanish world
Opened up a new book of knowledge
I love music and I analyze the world around us according to two genres: Hip-Hop and RnB
More specifically I define love in terms of their beat
What rhymes catch my attention and what rhythms prompt me to move out of my seat
Sometimes, the world gets so powerful
It's like standing on the edge of the ocean during high tide
And getting swept into the dark abyss of sin right before your eyes
Caught and tangled in the lies of this Earth
I’m confused.
Like really. I am SO confused and I need some clarification
I see an epidemic that is spreading across the nation.
I feel like world has taken the “Christ” out of Christmas
It started with four words
Let. There. Be. Light.
And so his light shined on the world
No brighter light that’s ever been seen before
A prelude to one of the greatest stories known to man kind
Darkness consumes me. My surroundings slowly seep into my body. I have no control over my body. I try to move but something has tied me down. All I can feel is the tears that roll down my face.
So tired of playing the same sick games
Running around in circles playing whose to blame
We fight we fight you’re mad you go date around
Then when you aint happy
Im left to be found
Hannah was late coming home this evening.
Traffic was slow and she had trouble leaving.
Work was hard and she hadn't any time
When I was a young child
I was abused.
I won't say which way,
how or even why I think it happened to me,
but it did.
My mother would tell me how
beautiful she was and how
You hooked her heart up to strings
Told her you'd give everything
You'd cover her scars with a ring
Your little puppet gave everything
You pushed and pulled on the ropes
She bent and bent 'til she broke
He's not worth my love,
He's not worth my feelings.
He's not worth my pain,
And me getting upset over things.
He's not worth my thoughts,
He's relevant no longer.
He's not worth my sadness
The memories reply over and over in my head
Your laughter intermingled with mine
And mine with yours
Running and squealing
Joking and Jumping
But all of it isn’t real.
You joke around and act
Your so curvy and smooth and you catch peoples eyes when you come into a room
But so far with you I can't even look your way
Everytime I see you I know i'm not okay..
You and I were lovers
And now we aren’t even friends
It hurts to say that I never
Felt the pain I have yet to strip
I wake up each morning
Wishing it weren’t true
That if I’d look beside me
She smiled at him with the stars in her eyes,
He returned the gesture with a gentle kiss,
Which earned a giggle of surprise,
He gave a grin of utter bliss,
Why? That is my question.
Why do I feel like you're the exact definition of perfection?
Why are you so amazing even though I'm only staring at your reflection,
Not making a sudden movement,
If I could I would;
I would take it all back.
Clarify exactly what I meant.
How I truly felt.
I would of never shown any weakness.
I would of never been so open.
Work
Work
W
O
R
K
That all you do,
But what about me?
We are the children of the world,
Kylie, this is a poem all for you,
you're the only one I want,
I hope you feel that way too,
want us to just count the months,
today's your birthday,
a day all for you,
Her beauty is snow storms, tucked away,
Tiny freezing snowflakes bottled in my fingers.
It comforts me, and breaks my fall,
And its sparks set my heart alight.
This girl is unique in perfection,
the warm white tide
Your footsteps in the sand,
They’re only temporary,
Soon to fill with seawater,
Flushed orange with the last
Lost rays of shimmering daylight.
#1– O/S:
Your mismatched eyes are so beautiful.
– One of glowing umber, as bright as the fantasy of Neverland,
God work your magic through my hands;
I'll heal the souls of the dedicated.
When they break like rusted baskeball nets,
I remind them why they entered the game.
Remember when you dad got you your first ball?
No matter where I go, I can't explain away,
the limitless attraction to a girl who knows her way.
She's a mystery to us all,
and a puzzle to a tee,
a conundrum to her parents,
I feel as if I knew every inch of your being.
Your soul, dark like your lies.
Your smile, as white as the lies you tell.
Your eyes, once as deep as the ocean, now as deep as the trench where you threw our love away.
A letter to my mother
My mother hates me and I don’t know why
We just can’t seem to see eye to eye
She disrespects me to the ump degree
Now I’m going to tell you what’s in my decree
1. I've literally spent like thirty minutes trying to think of a number one.
2. They say a picture's worth a thousand words so if I could, I would take all the photos I have of you, nail them to a wall and call it poetry.
I am not a spiteful person and even yet I wish I was less effected by such unadulterated hatred.
I’m haunted by my memories. The memories of us, the memories of you. Your smile, your laugh, the look you would give me, the sparkle in your eye that gave me a hint as to what you were feeling.
Sometimes I dream about the half eaten dinner for two rotting in my fridge
Lusting for the time when that goose was first cooked
Soon will come a day
A day in which my life begins
The beginning of my time
where my clock finally tics
Waiting inside this darkness
I met you
You camoflauged and kept yourself hidden
He's white and tan and blond
smoldering blue eyes
He plays baseball, a star jock
She's black, well brown-skinned actually
Her hair is jet black and shiny,
Shoulder length and gloriously curly
They look perfect on the outside
Everyone wants their relationship
Nobody know what happens behind closed doors
Nobody hears her screams at night
She keeps a fake smile on her face
Religion by Dillon A poem on how people should change the way they think.
I would change religion.
So many are caught in its lies.
Religion is something I despise.
It tells man to work for perfection
She was a flower,
She held herself high,
Strong,
White and filled with innocence.
But someone came along,
He took away the flower's sunlight,
He uprooted the flower,
Put her in a dark corner.
An excuse of good looks don’t get you anywhereSoft blue eyes and long blonde hairIn their eyes are all bad habits
I have thought about it
As I’m sure you may have, too,
That friendship came between us,
Broken, scarred and bruised.
We ended it in silence,
Eyes averted in fear
That past times may never recommence.
A star among stars that shines brighter in the night,
too shy to say It is bright.
I wish I may,
I wish I might,
How I wish you could see how beautiful you are to me,
Tonight.
I feel broken down
everytime he comes around
in my mind is a trainwreck
you love me, i dont give a shit.
I feel the arguments
seeping through
into everything that i do
im breaking.
listen to me
crumbling like stones.
i'm falling.
through the cracks,
i dont wanna be alone.
I know his footsteps and the catch in his breath
And i know his laugh sorted from the rest
I know the way his hair flips out in the ends
And I know the freckles covering his face down to his chin
You held me so tight
As you kissed me good night
You pushed my hair behind my ears
You took away all my fears
You reeled me in
With your cute, little grin
I was caught
Our love is a flirtationship,
but I want a relationship.
With trust and love,
and an abode with cubs,
but you want something less.
Our love is a flirtationship.
And if you could have made it that much easier
I doubt you would've
It's so unlike you to give away anything
That could've
helped a single soul
Along the winding road
She cries softly,
Tears drive down her cheek.
Hopelessness fills her body greatly,
And she fears the next encounter.
How shall she escape,
I remember when I placed my hand on your cheek
And planted one kiss on your forehead
Reassuring you that everything was going to be alright
And when a smiled, I felt that the world was warm
The sky is broken
and I wish I could know why
because right now it feels
like the only one who will understand.
There used to be flowers on or fingertips
but they wilt with every word.
The sunshine was as
thick as fog
and all I could see
was your face
with your lips
Lips that gave kisses
that melted the ice
that covered my body.
Kisses that
We are simply friends, I first thought of youYou wanted my tape because it was funI failed to see you saw me as your sunThat brightened cloudy days, your skies made blueYour wallet took a punch - admit it's true
Do not be like a jagged rock;
static, forlorn, yet easily eroded.
Do not be like the mountain;
overbearing, ignorant, unmovable.
Do not be like the wind;
blowing too hot or very cold.
This is real.
The shiver up my spine.
This is real.
The metal my face has ever so met.
This is real.
The warm blood trickling from my nose.
This is real.
I've had it up to here with relationships gone south
I can no longer stay, you're a toxic taste in my mouth
If you put in for me all I had put in for you
I wouldn't be here, I'd still love you too
If i had the courage to tell you how i feel then you might fall for me
if i had the stregnth to hold our relationship then maybe we would know what love is
If i could see how much you dont care then i might just move on
I never would have put you through this,
If I knew how much misery it'd bring.
Did I simply persuade you amiss?
Or did the mockingbird falsely sing?
Don't refuse your true feelings;
I can be your guide.
I saw you today,
Surprisingly I was okay.
I didn’t want to cry or question why,
I’m fine that you aren’t mine.
I didn’t know what I saw,
Or why I would miss you,
I could even risk you.
Seeing things in different ways,
is giving life a perspective.
You don't have to be blind,
if you can't see them..
Maybe you just couldn't find the right perspective?
Questions last forever,
but lying by answering doesn't...
What Did i Do That Was So Wronq
All iReally Wanted Was For Us Tew Ghet Alonq
I Thought This Relationship Was PERFECT :)
But iGuess He Doesn't Feel The Samee And That Really Does Hurt Me
All my dreams, a thousand miles away
they lie nestled against him as he sleeps
too bitter and faithless to kneel and pray
the life that I wanted, I could not keep
I hunger for his voice, to hold his hand
I love you, even while you are medicated
your heavy eyes, not quite reaching mine
Your lack of interest in the words I’m pressing so hard
Frustrating me to the point of tears
But I do not blame you
I could have left when I was younger, before I ever began making trails with my shuffled and fumbled footprints.I would have never hugged the ones I loved.I would have never laughed with those I laughed with.
I am skinny
gawky
average
unappealing in the most appealing ways.
When he entered my life
I was lost
broken
and he was my light
Told me I was beautiful
amazing
Instantaneous instinct in the shadows of
My yesterday; the nostalgic scent sickens me.
What used to plunge my soul in hypnosis
Is now a long-lost, hurtful memory,
A reflection in which I've built immunity
My head and heart screamin' out your name,
It's been so long since they deemed me sane.
The middle of the night, I'm in this dream,
I want so much to see you standing beside me.
You've got my heart beat runnin' high,
make me feel like I can touch the sky.
You give me that look, your amazing eyes,
My heart takes over, goes into overdrive...
I played along like it was nothing,
a crush that wouldn't last.
I never knew you felt the same,
we could've skipped the pain of the past.
I denied the accusations,
But I knew I loved you from the start.
Life.
isn't always about
Love.
isn't always
Pefect.
doesn't always mean
Flawless.
doesn't always mean
Right.
sometimes leads you
Left.
is the path less
Taken.
Crush.
Eyes met.
Smiles are stolen.
Her laugh is adored.
They fnally build the courage.
They talk and make a date.
Then on that date night they kiss.
A single date then turns into many moments.
I remember
the way our eyes met,
when we first talked.
I remember
the way our lips touched,
when we first kissed.
I remember
the way your fingers fit perfectly in mine,
May your eyes be there to watch over me,
May your arms be there to comfort me,
May your smile be there to cheer me,
May your thoughts always lean towards me,
May what makes you you always be special to me
A silence in time
a moment of moments
With the chitter and chatter
slowing to a hush
my heart raced louder
my mind a rush
The touch of his fingers
fitting in mine
She was scared to fallShe was scared to trustHe looked at her with nothing but lust She was scared to love him cause' she knew she'd be hurt againShe got caught in his eyes, she couldn't see past all his lies.
I wish I knew how to communicate
That I want to go slow,
But instead I’m walking home
Alone.
We can’t talk without it feeling awkward.
Well, to me it is.
I know we’ve talked about it,
Missing is something I feel
I wish love was never real
Now you have a way to tear my soul
Are you the one I've been longing for?
I know it's true that you love me too
But how can I if I'm the lie
You know that feeling when people on the outside are silently laughing at you.
That feeling of I told you so.
That feeling when you were so sure about something but you fail.
You are my contentment,With you true love can be experienced.The depth of our love is coherent,With you my insecurities are nonexistent. I never had to hand my heart over in your hands, My heart knew you were and always would be my man.and by your
I used to be your everything, now it seems as if I'm everything you never wanted, I thought I was the one for you at least that's what you told me, I go to war for you Rell all I ever showed was loyalty, the make ups the breakups I still held it d
This is the story of tragedy immemorial.A tale of endless woe.I hope you'll learn from the mistakes.Made by two really quite bitter foes.
I hold a small, pink eraser in my hand
I carefully bring the ends of the eraser toward each other
Watching the middle of it stretch
To make ends meet
The single rose that an apologetic young man
rudely plucked away from a shrub.
Along his aspiring excursion up her fire escape
apon her window seal.
Rueing for making her heart twinge with regret
Distance is like a spark, indiferent of the fuel only offering ignition.
Fueled by emotion, there is a reason most stop at the notion to ignite this flame.
You are simply beyond my reachA treasure I can no longer keep For holding on to something at such a distance Meets with such strong resistance
Talk to me, please
Put my mind at ease
You claim to lack the time of day
But we both know those are mere words astray
I yearn to know; what is it really?
I'm eager to ask, but is it silly?
Before my daughter, I didn't know what I wanted to be.
Now that she's born, I know exactly.
I want to be someone she can look up to.
I want to be someone she'll like to view.
So when she's older, I know she'll say,
There wasn't a good
A sign
A word
But a bye
But there I left the shells.
Slammed,
My fingers still seeping through
Why can't I be in
The flood, the water
Is me
Your home, the open road
Pavement stretches for miles to go.
From East coast to West coast
Counting down each milepost.
Your heart is of metal like
The music you make.
Go on now, let me be.
My mama gonna' get you when she see.
Leave me alone, please let me rest.
Then he say she dont care Bess.
Well, for the record thats my name and im as young of seven.
It's happening again.The same old phone calls at nearly 4am.Wondering if I should even pick up,Its pretty obvious what you want-You only tell me you love me after 2am.Once everyones gone and the liqour sets in. You dialate in the darkness,wander b
One click, two, a pause and a smile
I can only imagine the dream like state of your eyes on the screen
And as you proceeded on, you knew all the while
What would come of a simple message, a day to convene.
Because of you I'm afraid.
Of THEM,
Your kind.
You left me.
ABANDONED me.
Without a care in the world.
They always felt bad for him.
How you weren't there for HIM
He first treated you like you wore a crown.
He fucked with your mind until your smile was a permanent frown.
He convinced you as if you were the one at fault.
Like a daily dose of a wound filled with salt.
Words are loaded, tongues are sharp
speaking bullets, missing marks
conversation in crossfire
tensions like we're in trenches
and still this isn't the hardest part
Dropping bombs, explode, remark
A well-built framework
made just for me
can be used by everyone
to make good company.
Don’t call on my name
NumbEmptyAching to be with you
Ripped away from our fateNot given the dateOf when we can be together again
Days pass in a blurAs Nights move like a slugNo relief from this pain
Passing by those who create your past
Wishing they had never walked
Through your heart, leaving stains
Broken shards pain your very existence.
Memories shred your remaining soul
Miles to, hundreds from
Where my hearts pulled
Where the sun drowns
Where the wind doesn't blow,
We sit in silent war.
The cry's cold cut on the brink of hysteria
It's hard deciphering secret agendas when I'm busy deconstructing every word you say.
Depicting what you've yet to reveal, does that mean I have the upper hand, or am I simply playing into yours?
I wish I was famousSo I could expose your greatnessI want the world to seeHow much you mean to me
Have you ever seen eyes that speak sermons.Respirations that birth holy spirits.With those kind of eyelids that are like curtains,Blocking out sunlight that flowers cherish.
You said you wished the stars were red,so I pulled them down one by oneand painted them by hand,for you.
I'll spin you a song of pretty things,of angels dust and fairy wings,of all the very lovely things,That make a girl smile,But I doubt you'd listen to such a thing,You'd rather I told you tales of glorious deeds,
(I don't know why the ending got all jumbled up, sorry.)
You can't undo this
You can't get back what you've lost
You can't erase the past
You can't redeem yourself
I have come to hate everyone
but
That doesn't matter to you
because you
You hate everyone too; so I stay.
The more I think about this disaster
Might I relate to you?
Could you feel the way I do?
Just slip me a smile-
it's all it takes
to leave me up- wide awake
A flicker-
a glance
my chance-
to lean in
a kiss
Different, Different is the laughter, Different are the tears, Different is the feeling knowing you're one of my fears.
Tattoo my body with your touch and tongue,And I will smear the ink against your skin.So pressed together, blood and soul resungWill lift us two, so heaven lets us in.
What will it take for you
to believe in me
in We,
in Us,
in Trust,
for it is a must for the creation of Us
to survive and thrive
to not fall
but to dive
into a sea
The stray child,
between her two eyes resting on the bridge out of sight.
The slight tickle of a fleeing thought at the front of her mind.
He kisses her brow good night and is forever lost,
the stray child.
Trying to find the words
To say but you being yourself wouldn't
understand it's a bittersweet quality.
Moistened lips so pink and full
my heart wants to tell you but my brain and foolish ego won't.
You exhaust me.
That hardly describes it.
I wish there was a better phrase for putting my emotions through a spin cycle.
You didn't even hang me out to dry.
"Whenever I miss you I tell my heart no. I then close my eyes and let the memories roll. Out of my eyelids and straight down my cheeks. Pouring into the pillow that captures my dreams. And as my heart sinks when the images do fade..
A star-studded calendar and meeting the sun every day at seven cannot curve the blowOf the fact that we are learning the unspoken of moving apart.I miss you.
I'm lost.
But I remember you.
"I'll give up everything.
I love you."
These words were meant for you.
I needed the fire burning in your eyes.
Otherwise I'd be unable to see
I have always kept the thought in mindThat people come and go
So I would always keep my distanceAssuming they would leave
But I always craved a friendshipThat would last until I was old
My daughter,
I created you perfectly the way you are
Why are you trying to change that?
I made you blonde,
Not brunette,
I gave you blue eyes,
Not green
A black hole spit out my kind of light
I’m on the road when I finally come to life
Hit the gas, head for the city to feel tonight
Just when I feel that our relationship has prevailed
You pull away and remind me why we've never been strong
Not even enough to withstand the falls
And never to rise
You rekindle the fire that burns my heart
Gold and red-checkered lips.
Pink and purple plumage in pin-curled hair.
Corsets colliding with chosen partners.
Flickers of light from silver sequins scattering the ballroom.
Look into your heart- feel the connection of my being. Look into your soul- remind yourself what I am seeing.
"Everything will be all right,"
He says as she sobs into his shirt,
Her tiny hand clutches the fabric.
Between sobs he pats her back: rocks her,
Back and forth.
Back and forth.
Every war that was ever fought
all began with a single thought.
They are such powerful things:
the start of relationships and flings.
One thing leads to another
and your thoughts become words.
Fairytales
I never used to believe in fairytales
I’m not like Cinderella when the clock strikes 12.
Won’t prick my finger and fall asleep
Or become a prisoner and love a beast.
But I met you
Its a sad poem with no title. I did it today.
I never wanted it to be like this
Was it an accident?
Was it life giving me a sign?
My skin is tan, and my back is strong.
strong enough, to take the pain ..
inflicted again & AGAIN.
I get scared to, and I fight back knowing I'll lose because I'm
strong enough, to take the pain ..
You would think that love would be easy to find
I mean Isn't it stronger than anything?
I wish i could find someone i could love
with the heart that ive already given away
Not only that...
She is the ghost haunting you,
She created the fear.
She wasn't the victim
Which is why you and I are now here.
She was the one cracking the whip,
She broke your fragile skin.
She said I’ll love you till you’re worn
She said I’m breaking to the bones.
The kind of stuff that breaks a home-
The tortured cry of a widow’s moan.
She said, you can’t believe that love is real
She smiles as she looks at him
Mesmoriezed by his eyes
Light brown with a twinkle
Kind of like the stars in the sky
She smiles as she looks at him
Mesmoriezed by his smile
This is exactly whatI didn't want to happenYou and me, fightingI guess I knew, deep down insideWe'd end in flamesNot that I want that,But that's were we're headedUnless we can do something
I WANNA KNOW....
I WANNA KNOW WHAT MAKES YOU SMILE
WHAT MAKES YOU...YOU
IN TAKING THAT EXTRA MILE
I WANNA KNOW....
I WANNA KNOW WHAT WE ARE
WHAT MADE US
ARE WE GONNA GO FAR
And they said that everything about you was perfection and that made me believe that you were the perfect guy for me. You took me places and held my hand, then I fell for you and you became my best friend.
You must love to watch me crybecause since the beginningthat’s all you have caused me,tears and breathless sobsand i sit here as these big dropsof sadness and despaircrash like waves onto my face
Each night you sleep peacefully in the padded satin
In your petite, floral painted wooden home
As I prepare for another day, I reach for you
You comply with no hesitations, no complaints as
I use up
most of my lovein airplanes.
Spending it liketokens at theLocal arcade.
The engines hum,the wings thrum,the guttural startof take-off.
Not sure what we are,neither are you.We've never met, yet..I feel very close to you.We have much in common, i'll say that.But I feel like there is one thing,that is holding us back.
Lies!
That's all I tell.
Maybe, I'll rot in hell.
Playing with your feelings
Making you fall deeper in love
With me.
If I just rolled over and died
I know you'd cry
Ever since I was a teen,
I hoped and dreamed to one day find him.
As I slept we traveled and danced,
But awake my chances seemed very slim.
Was this wrong, could it be, to not know, to not see?
There is a feeling that our hearts call true love.But how can someone describe such a powerful feeling.Does it feel warm and fuzzy.Does he/she love you for who you are,And not what you pretend to be.
Sitting with the rain
Holding my hands under the puddles
Subconscious illusions
Fading I see the rain stop
The sun set and then the moon
Compress,
Explode.
As if the moon was glass
It is hard to say when it all began
Was it from the moment we met
Or was it from the moment i ran
Far from you because of the dent
You placed on someone close to me
I choose to listen to unfaithful words
The implications of your strength confuse
My emotions and leave me perplexéd;
Do I find safety in your able arms,
Or do I fear the strength sup’rior to mine?
The way you take control is my excuse
The dots on the wall become bugs; crawl.
Your second skin implores you to buy in.
Allow the separation of sanity to fall,
Like the rain of grace, with razors instead of peace.
The vociferous outward expression;
(poems go here) No matter what he tells you. .
The key to his heart is not locked in the space hanging between his legs.
Pick your head up little girl.
You should be meeting eye to eye,
Not penis to mouth.
We walked hand-in-hand
Through the woods
With the sun at our backs
The air tasting like salt
And the sound of water hitting rocks,
We approached the lake.
It's funny,
I'm the size of an
I am looking for a long-term fulfilling relationship with Music.Primal in beat, with ascending crescendos of melodyPassionate in rhythm, emoting steady confident surety
It started here.
I walk through the door.
Did you ever glance?
You never notice me.
I sit next to you.
You ignore my presence.
Tried to interact.
But, you blew me off.
You've got my mind working overtime
Stole my heart, you've done the crime
I can't find the words I should say-
Hearing from you brightens my day
Say to voice my feelings for you
What would you say
To us alone in the woods?
Not simply to fuck
Rather instead alone to pretend
That we
Are alone in the world
Together we
Can find a rock in the stream
I lay here writing the words I can't say
And the longer my mind fights wondering and wanting to say hey-
And the longer we go without a word, this becomes a never ending day
Is there any part of you however small
That says that you love me at all?
The fires of passion we once had have dimmed
The times we spend talking have once more been trimmed
You look into my eyes and I look into yours
In the presence of royalty, she bows down and worships thee,
Kissing everything from his eyebrows to his feet,
Thinking that he’s real, and loves more than her sex appeal,
We together
make Us,
We, Us
you and me.
We fight
We argue
We disagree
We,
you and me.
We laugh
We smile
We joke
We,
you and me.
Don't try to explain yourself
I know the truth
I never want to be by myself
never wanted to hurt you.
In me, your smile has awoken something long lost
My heart has begun to defrost-
Elated that our paths have crossed
You smile, I smile, I lack self- control
A fire burns in me and you've lit the charcoal
The skies darken
And around me
The pressure builds
With a burst, I feel
The first fat drops
Of rain as they begin to
Fall
The room is always dim,
aside from the fog of creeping
cancer,
and over-priced incense.
It bounces,
it swirls,
among the sad lamps (barely holding on),
seeps from under locked
doors.
Frat Boy Love Poem
I am in love with a frat boy.
I know it
He knows it
We both know it
We just don’t acknowledge it.
3:57
odd time
to be a-
wake.
I lay slowly,
adrifting away-
awake.
the Insomniac beat... yes it
benches and bangs,
an anvil god's trinkets and toys
bring pain-
And just like that I became the snake to your apple.
However, you can’t deny the inherent curiosity you had swimming in you.
Not a tadpole, but a Kraken inside your blackened multitudinous seas.
My body and soul detached
from the spine that weaves them
sinks and floats, respectively, with no
direction.
Tears turn on like a broken faucet, droplets splashing on my hands and in my hair.
He hasn't come home yet.
His absence is fresh in the minds of his loved ones and all left with almost no more emotions to bear.
Tip toed,
Old age comes and smothers innocence,
Purely out of habitual fashion,
We sit back and keep our eyes closed,
And when we return to this reality,
Summer has turned to autumn.
When love breaks its like a storm
Inside everything is torn
The smell of rain is rolling in
You know this love is about to end
For a moment everything stalls
While the first rain drop has time to fall
Can’t sleep cause I keep thinking
Every moment that passes is weakening
I keep wondering, keep sinking
So blind with emotion
I can’t see a damn thing
Now I'm left alone wondering why
Love
Is the moment
When I hear a plane overhead
And think of you
Love
Is the days
I'm out with my family
And smile at motorcycles
I wonder how you came to be
for your stone cold heart doesn’t seem to beat.
There’s a chunk of ice in you chest,
frozen so cold
you will never rest.
The Love I gave you
could never undo
No one knows how I feel
No one knows what I want
They laugh and laugh
As if they don't care
Let’s break it down to the dirty details.
You broke my heart, but have yet to know.
Maybe you won’t either.
You look at me with eyes that
Don't know the truth
You look at me with eyes that
Will not acknowledge the truth
Because the truth is,
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you and,
She'll always know
I forget everything
You say to me
All because I know
It means nothing
Absolutely nothing
All because you
Habitually tell me lies
I fail to believe you
Because of your stories
I am the one for the talk
The walk has commenced
And I refuse to be the fool
Playing the jester's part
You tell me lies
I smile
Graciously actlike I agree
And walk away
When in her eyes and in her fractured voice,
The ache hurts even I, who knows no pain,
The tears in scarlet eyes, they have no choice
But now to fall and mar her face again.
He's worried that she might not smile everyday
He's worried he'll miss her too much when he goes away
He's worried that she won't laugh at his dumb joke
He's so worried so much....dam he might choke
If you were here
It would all be different
The way the leaves fall off the trees
They could glide the way lips graze over teeth in smiles
I love you so much that I hate you, get it?
I hate you because I loved you to the point where it broke my heart
I love you because your smile made me smile
I hate you because you drained me of my happiness
He loves me, she chants with her accustomed bag of ice.
He loves me, she chants in the morning and at night.
He loves me, she chants as she turns black and blue.
Dear Anthony,
I'd like to set aside order for a moment
And what's inadvertently thought of as important
To spill my heart on a palette
With words left uncalloused
Waiting to engrave
Hello Mr. Keeper
Today I lost my soul
Have you seen it?
I looked everywhere
I searched heaven
I searched hell
But my soul is nowhere to be seen
I think I might die
Is this wrong
Or is it right
This word love
It evokes a thunder within my heart
A freezing rush of painful memories
Gliding gently across the lens of sight
Some where it happened in these memories
I cried laughter and pain,
Memories rushed through my brain,
I wonder how I lost you.
Thinking ill have you back,
Times i tried and lack,
I still wonder how I lost you.
Seeing your love for me is gone,
Amor, you are my love.
Babbled like a baby when we first met.
Couldn't keep my emotions in,
Didn't want to lose you as a friend just yet
You never intended to stay with me
You only gave up and ran away
You never listened, it was always your way
I use to imagine how we would be
But I've given up on that silly dream
Pretty little liar,
in your pretty little attire,
looking stressed and hot wired,
we see through all your games.
My dad lifts my new electric blue Schwinn Mountain Bike onto his shoulders
and hauls it into the garage. He takes a wrench and adjusts the pipes
with the precision of a poet, pulling them to fit my height. I stretch
Do you want to know how I feel? There are butterflies swarming around my stomach at all times of my existence. My bones shake and my heart rate goes through the roof.
Heart feels so overwhelmed
I look into your eyes
And see the unexplainable
Twists and turns of unexpected
Happiness and sorrow
All rolled into one smiling face
when i was little you did your best 2 shelter me
it was a blessing & a curse
later on the real world had to street better me
you were always there for me the times that i grew
Adonis, Greek god of beauty
And desire.
When you’ve been crawled up
In the corner, tucking your knees in
To feel the dying flesh
Of your past pressed tight
What's wrong my Swan?
The seasons have changed, it's time to migrate.
Can you not see our Lake Frozen?
I've left the weeds overgrow it.
The summer has passed.
She said "I can't see myself without you" He said "well close your eyes, and if I ever really loved you would I tell you lies?
You’re distant, a behavior I wouldn’t usually accept
The thought of you has consumed my mind
Confusion arises, I have yet to truly witness your emotions
Please don’t leave me dangling, only to fall
Remember
When things weren't so complicated
When words weren't hidden meanings
And we were raw human beings?
When "I love you" meant
I love you
and "I do" meant "I do"
Everything is so confusing
not being able to be with you.
It's making me crazy,
and I don't know what to do.
I just want to know,
how far this poem will go.
Will it reach you at sea?
Will you be thinking of me?
Will you hear it in your sleep?
Will you think about about it when you weep?
Buildings rise to heaven
unconstrained
Leaving the unexplained disappearance of the sun and moon
My boots beat against the dirty, wet sidewalk after last night's rainfall.
(He slaved, he slaved,
he did this his whole life,
Man how he just wanted to get it right,
But he couldn't because of his pain,
He suffered so much with pain,
again and again,
He could never win,
I don't think you know or even have a clue,
how I love your spirit and everything you do.
At first it was just mere infatuation,
Over time, I couldin't stand near you without my heart racing,
No one understands the true meaning of love,
But when I'm with you then that word makes sense.
Being with you, I tell you is the closest thing to magic,
And if not it's bang right on it.
I don't have an angels voice to sing you beautiful songs
I cant tell you I'm perfect cause I do things wrong
I cant say I'm the smartest person with words
Because I get scary like little birds
When trying to fly
i will not bask in the river of your hate,or the sea of your so-called love
i will not float on the waves of lies and deception jus to be fooled again because i thought this was not an ordinary trip
My heart is waterproof, but they say blood is thicker then water. I'm thirsty but you've ran out, and I'm left here with the cold blood pumping from my heart to my veins... The blood is leaking from where you left your remains...
Oh the dove, so peaceful and nice
Hopefully it has no weakness to ice
For the white dove of love has no idea of its fate
It will soon be dead giving great grief to his friend Tate
To say what I haven't…
To whisper the words that I could not say
I forgot the way we use to once be…
The connections that use to be had…
The bonds we use to share
I lost them.
I strayed from the path…
Has he even noticed? Or does he even care?
This car is turning, racing but we're going nowhere.
He steps on the gas, my heart begins to flutter.
We're free falling fast, but without God's ruder.
To whom it may concern:
What is it about me that frightens you?
Is it the way I talk? The way I walk? The way I’m shy?
If you really get to know me I am a nice and sweet guy.
Yesterday finding a suitor seemed doubtful
even though millions of fish live in the sea.
No one could spark my life, it continued to remain dull.
Just as I began to lose hope, you found me.
The day I get to see you,
is the day the sun rises.
The day I get to see you,
is the day the flowers bloom
Why humiliate me, then tranquilize me and worse yet make me feel something that I’m not?
You’re presence alone swiveled me while your words devoured my heart and those thoughts.
This is a take over for the Earth.
I wish you drowning in dreams as it seems.
the planet will be dead soon anyway.
I hope you cut your throat and bleed blue,
because thats how I feel.
I'm not used to this isolation again
You drew me an image of desolation
With a hint of imagination, you brought me to life
And you colored all the whites and grays
You stayed in the lines,
I cannot recall what the feeling of love is.
They say it is warm,
It is kind,
It is butterflies in your stomach
When you see the one you love.
Yesterday, today, the same
I’m too cowardly to speak your name
I’ve never feared rejection like this
I’ve never been afraid to shoot and miss
Maybe… with you, there is too much at stake-
Ive just been layin here in bed, you're the only thing going thru my head..every little thing about you, all the things i love, all the things you do that just captivate me...
How are you?
It's awful I don't know.
Where have you been?
Not in my life; that's for sure
Why did you leave?
I can't seem to find you.
Why am I still here?
You left me behind you.
