Every time I step out into the world
I hope to retrieve things like
Smiles and comfort and joy
But instead,
I get things like
Bruises and heart breaks
And tear-stained pillow cases

Beads of sweat run down
From your temples
And softly drip
Onto my bare skin
As I lay beneath you
A sweet
Sweet
Paradise

I remember the way the sunlight danced across your face
In the middle of the afternoon.
I remember lying in bed with you, loud and giggly
Not caring who heard us.
I remember the care-free feeling, doing what we wanted
We loved being alone.


I remember staring into your eyes,
Moments before we would kiss;
My hand wrapped up in your hair, your arm around my waist,
The most amazing feeling in the world.
I remember the softness of your lips,
And the warmth of your tongue;
Smooth, wet, and warm.


I remember those days when we'd d nothing at all
We'd watch, TV talk and eat, but those were the best parts
Of us.
I remember being able to do anything with you,
I even touched your ******* one time
But then I fell off the bed
{Insert laughs here}.


I remember all the good and the bad
And everything in between.
The love {making} and the fighting,
And the "uh okay"'s.
Loving you was tiring.
I remember everything, the feelings, and the words
But I would do it all over again if I could.
I love him.

It’s a cold, grey morning
There’s no sun in sight
The only source of light
Comes from your eyes

They glow in the morning
Like a firefly at night
And they give me energy
Like the sun’s rays
Give to a plant

I don’t need coffee
To start my morning
I just need
A small dose of you

A small dose of you
Gives me strength
It gives me strength
To do things like
Go on
When it feels impossible

It gives me strength
To push myself harder
Every day
And it makes my life easier
Knowing i have you
To come home to
At night

And knowing that no matter
How bad
Things are when i get home
My life will always be brighter
In the morning


I just need
A small dose
Of you

I was the helpless bird who fell from the nest
I had a broken leg but I still tried to walk
He was the quiet boy who stumbled upon me
Gently carrying me to safety

Safety was his warm, strong arms that acted as a nest
His kiss upon my forehead, as if to heal the pain
That I am the only one to blame for

I always get myself into the worst of situations
I’m way too emotional for my liking,
I love far too much,
And far too many.

You see, I fell from a past love
Hurting myself on the way down
But gently dropping into the arms of a new one

So this time, I’ll watch out for the holes that I could
Possibly fall through
And step over them instead

He is the icing on the cake
The blood in my veins
The smell of fresh cut grass.
He is everything that makes life sweeter
And worth living.

He is the wind to my back,
The butterflies in my stomach
The random smiles throughout the day.
He makes me feel what every girl wants.

But he is also the late night tears
The breakdowns
The anxieties.
He is the fears and
The long hours of the night
Spent over-analyzing

I don't know which is worse.

Loving another self more than your own
Obsessing over someone's touch
Craving a person, and needing them
Makes it so very easy to lose yourself.

Then there is the over-thinking,
The doubts, the lies, the scheming
The way you feel like they don't care,
Makes it so very easy to hurt yourself.

There are holes in my heart, there are holes in my skin
Your love always tends to come and find it's way in
Flowing inside them, and running through my veins
My body, my mind, and my heart, you claimed

Your smile is my muse, your laugh gives my life meaning
I found you when I finished my emotional spring cleaning
Your love seeps inside me and makes me feel whole
My body, my mind, and my heart, you stole

You swept me off my feet, and spun me all around
I knew right then, it was a true love that I had found
Your compassion overcame me as if it were a crashing wave
My body, my mind, and my heart, you have saved.
