I want someone to love me
like I'm the reason they exist
I want someone to spend hours
mapping and memorising
every inch of me
I want someone to ask me
about my deepest thoughts and desires
I want someone to know all my fears
and all my favourite things
I want someone to look at me
like my eyes are the sun
and my voice is the wind
and my anger is a storm
and my sadness is a
deep
deep
ocean
I want someone to lay with me
and run their hands through my hair
and be pained by how much they love me
I want to be loved so much that I feel it
wherever I go
I want to be loved so deeply
that on my darkest days and even darker nights
the love radiates out of me
and cocoons me in strength
and support
I want someone to love me so much
that they couldn't imagine a single second without me
I want someone to love me like I love them
I want someone to love me.

Face of a innocent,
looking for love.
the wrinkles of youth,
frown upon,
the desperation she reeks.

The loneliness,
overpowering her,
as she see's the others.

The laughs they share,
the heart break they bare,
the love they show,
their hopes that grow.

She wants to feel that love,
that heart break,
that hope.

But the wrinkles of her youth say wait,
it's not your turn,
just sit and watch,
and learn.

Because it is not your turn.
How i feel right now /:

There’s an abundance of wonderful secrets I hold,
that come from the quiet, the quaint, and the bold.

Some are cute and some sweet,
all sugar-spice and neat.

It’s the others I can’t bear,
***** deeds and lives not spared.

I have to keep them all inside,
hidden away from prying eyes,

For I’m bound by a promise made of lightning,
and while I’m not quite keen on fighting,
If these secrets are found out
I’ll claw and kick and scream and shout.
For the shackles that bind me here,
will shatter after ten more torturous years.

So for now I let the rain wash away all my pain,
and thank each passing stranger for the knowledge that I’ve gained.

I think about the gallows,
I think about despair,
I think of all the people who never really cared.

You may not think you know me,
but you’re sorely mistaken.
I live next door, or up one floor,
listening when your minds awaken.

I can see your every thought and dream,
I can hear you when you sob and scream.
I can feel your touch and exasperated breath,
all dancing hot across my neck.

We are the seers
holding stories unknown
feelings unfelt
and words untold.

I could tell you anything, but you’d never know,
for I value my salvation more than a tiny truth sold.
This was inspired by a short story I wrote, but I thought it'd sound lovely as a rhyming poem, so I adapted it

Sing?
I sing no more
As a bird sings more

And Learning?
I remember learning
I remember learning every curve of your body
In between the hours of your awake

Lying
I don't remember lying
Not once
Not even twice

Dying.
I can wait for the dying
Or can't wait,
Depending on the day

But honestly, between you and me
Between rhapsody and harmony,
Between the outstretched arms of eternity
I still think there's something left for me

This lyric is for no one
No one who stood courageous
Upon the inferno of our world

For no one who laughed when they beat Rodney King
No one stood silent and said 'well that's just a shame'

For no one who watched the boy become a man
No one who didn't doubt him when he said 'I think I can'
No one to give him bliss blanket of advice
Who wasn't there to tell him how to not waste his life

And for no one who suffered in the alleyways of Skid Row
No one weeps for the ****** face down in the snow
No one who says 'I don't want to know, I didn't know'

This lyric is for no one in particular
No one who sobs to herself in the night
No one who cuts her wrists after mom and dad fight
No one gives her a hug saying 'it's okay, it's alright'

This is for no one who sees outside their world
For no one cares about whats inside the girl
This is for no one who cares for the disturbed boy
Dreaming,
Screaming his angry young years away

No one to tell in memory of my love
Who conquered my Earth and sky above

Instead this is for no one who stood by
Watching the happy and the sad float by
For no one wants to lie and stare at the ceiling and cry
Or die

This is in memory of no one in particular
For no one who did nothing doesn't deserve anything.

My blood boils and my heart screams
to rip out your throat and watch you bleed
I control my urges but just for now
It’ll be worth the wait when you see how
I’ll burn you and beat you and slash up your wrists
I’ll do everything and seal it with a kiss
You may think heartless ****** is just for the birds
but I won’t be convicted, for I’m using words.
