I love you
I really do

So much that I have to stay away
Even if without you my world is grey

Afraid of hurting you
I don't wish to make you feel blue

I reject all food, my agony unseen
If I do eat it'll come back up green

I feel many colors but the only ones in sight
Are black and grey and white

The voices in my head
Make me only want to see red

And although I love you
It's better that we're through
unnamed Jul 2019
Everything and everyone worth living for
Has been taken away from me.

And now the only person worth dying for
Wants me dead.

How lucky I am
To have someone
Who makes
Saying goodbye
So hard

Why does my heart
Keep telling me
To love you
Even though my mind
Doesn’t want to?
In a debate of
heart and mind
Which will you choose?

Sometimes the masks we wear
Aren’t the ones on our faces
But the ones on our heart

Lucky for me
He always had the habit
Of working his way in

I’m drowning in a sea
That’s as big as your heart

“Someday my stained soul will appeal to someone.”

She hung there. Suspense thick in the air as she clung by her fingertips. Figures hazily rushing towards her, their cries muffled by the roar of the irate sea beneath her. Lashes fluttered, eyes teary as the wind whipped about her loosening her grip further. Her fingers went slack. Stinging and discolored after hanging onto the serrated edge of the cliff for far too long. As she fell, hair lashing about her, limbs limp, she gave in. For even she knew, the ocean could not be sated. It would take what it wants and leave behind nothing but bitter memories of what once was. Acknowledging this brought acceptance. After all, who was she to refuse the turbulent tides wishes? The waves reached up towards her, similar to cold harsh hands grasping her body and pulling her further and further in. Even the diminishing sunlight was not allowed where she was headed. It brought an odd sort of comfort, knowing that at least she could catch a glimpse of Poseidon’s palace before she went. What a fool she was to think something so breathtaking could never be so chilling and ferocious.

It was the wind that brought her to him.
She was the wind itself.
Playful, mischievous, coming and going whenever it wanted.
and just like the wind
She was impossible
To pin down

"I love you"
"No. You don't."

There's a time
And place for hope
And this
Isn't it

I wish you could trust
In my love for you
Without me

Prove it

So many people think they want to die
But the truth is
They want to start living

Try
Maybe I can't fix you...
But that doesn't mean I'm not going to try

She is turbulent
And tumultuous

She is stormy
And chaotic

And I was wrong
To think I would

Be the one thing
She wouldn't destroy

She is turbulence

You were the glue that held us-
That held everything together
You kept together
These fragile paper hearts
So when you left

I’d like to kiss you
If that’s alright?

Love is not a complicated word
And yet it caused all this trouble

the sky is crushing my shoulders
yet they watch and tell me to
brace my knees

Your soft hands held mine
And it felt
As if for one small moment
Everything was right
In the world

He is beautiful,
an Aphrodite made of marble and stars,
drops of the ocean captured for the
crystalline blue of his eyes.
