you are a universe, love
let me be just one star
in your infinite galaxies
this one's for you, too. i almost hoped that i'd run out of words for you, but alas

There's a storm in my teacup,
An ache in my head,
A plethora of words,
That are better unsaid.

There's a monster inside me,
That never stops speaking,
Though I try to control,
The havoc it's seeking.

You think I'm a good person,
But I do not agree,
My friend: you only judge me,
Based on what you can see.
Definition of a monster; a creature, being, or entity that is terribly afraid, so much so that it lashes out at whomever approaches it. A common characteristic is a barbed tongue, which can be used to inflict severe damage on unsuspecting victims.

you have showered my soul
with light
with love
with softness
with ease

always asking permission
always seeking to
make me laugh
to smile

and you do it every time
every **** time

you sit there knowing
i could have
thrown myself at any man
in the room
yet before i get a chance
you stop me

you stopped my numbness
this numbness i have had for years
thank you for making me feel
for showing me i am worth it
for showing me i can be soft
for showing me light
for showing me genuine true laughter
started out as my middle school crush and now we're here haha

...
Head cupped gently in hands,
rested on her scraped knees.
Gently rocking away
the latest break
in the fabric of her equilibrium
...
Three deep breaths,
a final tear travels the curves of her face
Slipping into the crevices of her lips
A taste of the salt that sustains and drives her
...
Three deep breaths,
a pause and the arch of her neck
drags her head skywards
the blurry clouds and foggy mememories
blend into resolve
...
Three deep breaths,
Arms release shoulders drop,
its time.
...
Three deep breaths,
she slides up the wall
her diamond eyes focused
on a point of light
...
Three deep breaths,
She thrusts herself off
the comforting wall
...
Fists like anchors,
she pulls up the life from the ground
...
One deep breath,
she screams in the name of her reserection
...
Broken in all the right places,
off she walks like a queen
Loving her pain...

Hey listen lover.
I’m confusing, contradicting &
A liar.
My lies can’t run much farther
Soon enough il Speak.
You’ll turn weak & Wonder .
Question our love and debate wether it’s worth living further..
It’s no shock to hear me say
“I’ve used.”
It’s A shock to know it all along just hoping your doubts weren’t true.
Hey listen lover
You’ve known this for awhile
I struggle with addiction & have never truly recovered .
I’m suffering daily & I can’t come across a reason to really say
“ I don’t need this. I can do it. I can handle my problems & life’s struggled
Sorry baby
Leave me and find some one truly amazing

As I woke up, the haiku appeared in my semi-conscious state.
Do I dare to dream
To aspire to those lofty
heights from which I could fatally plummet?

Ah, but the air is crisp and the sky is
blue upon that misty summit

And it calls to my desire to have the world
beneath my feet

But if I am again to dream I first must rest and sleep
We poets write from our hearts

I tried to keep a dream alive
I was just being made a fool
My happiness may take a dive
The tears I wept left a pool.

To read the news i was surprised
Couldn't even tell me to my face
A love so strong had now demised
Someone else had filled my place.

Such a fool I was to have believed
I thought I'd found my true in you
Here I am blamed yet myself deceived
Good wishes my friend for you are true.

I shall shed a few more tears I dare say
Magic moments locked in distant memories
Maybe loves arrow will be true one day
But for now we will sit and tell our stories.
When you've been in love and you hold on for something that you now might never to be again but something tells you this Might be worth waiting for then the disappointment comes
