She Writes
Tell me this!
How can you cage a bird
When you fell in love
Whilst watching it fly?
Why do I care so much
About a friendship
That you don't even
Put any effort in?

Why are we
Even friends
If you take everything I say
As an offense?

Why do I put effort
Into this friendship
If you never

Life is a storm
And she has no umbrella
It is flooding
She is drowning
She cried out
And they ignored her
But eventually
People heard
And they cared
And they helped
Her feet are on dry land
The storm stopped
The rain disappeared
Now the sun is out
Now she can swim
She’s not scared
She is brave
And she forgets
There was a time when

This poem was actually for school
I love her.
No not ******* worldly,
But softly, purely , celestially.
Obsessively?
Not necessarily, just completely,
selfishly and I'm sorry.
I love her unconditionally, some say unconventionally.
But they don't understand me.
Yes...I love her.
Most spiritually, asexually, platonically and wholly.
I love her, truly, honestly, musically and poetically...
She doesn't have to love me.
Your looks may fade... my love shall not.

You step on my china doll figure
Crushing my glass under your shoe. You start stomping, making dust of me.

Then you think you can pick me up, but most of my broken pieces fall through your fingers when you do. I come with you, but leave most of myself behind.
