I often think
it's in a poet's nature
to be attracted to sadness
and that sadness is often
attracted to the poet.

I can't keep making
excuses for myself
by hiding from your
incredible words
because I've been hurt before
and I'm so afraid
of these things.

All day
I can do nothing
but think about you
and how beautiful you are
and how your words
have made love to
my broken soul.

Nothing has made
more perfect sense than you.

My stupid little
arrangement of letters
has all been meant for you
and they've been waiting for
somebody to set them free.

Every minute
I spend thinking
of you
tears me apart
because
you're so close,
and you're also
so far away.
My mind is
a dangerous place
to spend my time
and I'm too complicated
to understand my own self.

She
deserves
far better than
the likes of
me.

I spend all my time
working
and I still never get anything
done.

This one's for the girl
with her hands over her
face
and might I say,
they are darling.
Especially because
they are the hands
that place such stunning
words that touch
my heart.
I can only imagine
the beauty
that hides behind
them.

Kiss me like
It will be the last time
you'll ever see me
and make sure
that even when our lips
part
I can still feel
your heart racing.

Press your body
against mine
and whisper
those deep secrets of yours
soft and slow
and maybe tonight
we'll be a bit warmer.
