you came up behind me,
wrapped your arms around
my neck and covered
my eyes with your hands.

"guess who?" you asked.

and how silly, i thought,
it was to think that i would
not know you by the
feeling of your heartbeat
against my back.
My Mother always said that
We should never make promises we can’t keep
So maybe that’s why
I was shocked when you stopped loving me
And when you stopped smiling when you saw my key twist in the lock
And when you stopped waking up on Saturday mornings
Twenty minutes early
To make the pancakes that I love.
When gone were the days when your eyes
Took my breath away
In the most pleasant way
And now it just feels like
You’re cutting off the air in my windpipe.
So maybe that’s why
I sit awake on a Wednesday morning with your picture
Crumpled in my hands
It’s four in the morning
And tiredness hasn’t hit me yet
But when it does,
My god it punches.
When you left, my heart shattered.
The cracks echoed through my bones, till there was nothing left of me.
In that moment I was a wolves final cry to the moon, I was the final roar of a lion. I found I was simply finite.
And now I realise, when you left, that this is why hurricanes are named after people.
You shred your way, through our cities, through our valleys, till your destructive warpath comes to an end. Until you are just a breeze.
When the hurricane is over, I will rebuild my walls, rebuild my temple.
And in that moment, I realise I'll be okay.
I
Illness

May begin with the letter I,

Yet many illnesses

Are unseen to the attentive eye

"A year from now, we'll all be gone, all our friends will move away. And they're going to better places. But our friends will be gone away." which is sad. But also liberating- it allows us to enjoy our time while we're here.
Why must love be so different.
I love many things but..
staying in love and not getting hurt.
Thats the problem.
Every time I fall in love wtih a guy or gal..
I get hurt.
SHE
She is a mystery
She is.. the greatest form of poetry
She, who would rather hide than be seen
Holds no beginning and knows no end
She comes to life when everything around her appears to be dead
She makes me feel a high, electric, body rush
She creates goosebumps down my spine with just the slightest touch
She dreams
She believes
She is someone you can't decieve
She sees the lies, beneath your eyes
She is someone you can't run from or can't hide
She is the never ending memory that takes refuge inside my mind at night
She is gold
She is light that fills my soul
She is peace that keeps me in control
She is gentle
Her body is a temple
Mounted on the highest pedestal
Without reason to ever feel resentful
When I'm high
When I'm coming down
When I'm feeling sentimental
She is there
She is pure
She is rare
She is someone for whom I will always care
And through it all
She just might
She just maybe
