I want you to show me how powerful you can be
of course we can only come back stronger
two powerful individuals with the intention to give
real love is infinite and comes in many shapes
no matter what happens next
we have to be responsible
I suppose
you could be my escape
but you know I don’t like plans
listen, you deserve happiness just like I do
but this is not what I want
my soul deserves more than the physical
you don’t deserve me now but maybe you will again
please come back when you’ve found your path
but if the canyons start calling
I’m going to pick up
that’ll more than likely be my home
it’ll bring me some happiness in fighting my demons
I love you,
but we must heal on our own

the only thing I need in this very moment
is for someone who understands that
the only thing I can give in this life
is the time to show them that my
love is everlasting so much so
that even when they are
away from me they can
still feel my presence
and my love will
bring them a
feeling of
infinite
joy.

with each day that passes
and I have to let go of a little more of you
I begin to forget what your voice sounded like
when you were in my arms and the world around us meant nothing
you felt like an escape from a reality too brutal
now I must escape from the pleasures you brought me
I must escape from the feeling you gave me
I must escape from you
with sleepless night that come yet never go
and I have to let go of a little more of you
I begin to remember how you looked at me
the first time I said I love you
like it was the first time I took your breath away
like it was the first time love meant something to you
I was your escape from a world too cold
now you must find warmth without me
you must take the love you gave me give it to someone who is less of an escape and more of a home
you must
escape
from
me.

you are broken
when you don’t realize
love will make a fool of you.
even when all the signs tell you to run,
you choose to stay,
convincing yourself that you were made for this.
like our love story was one worth it all
we fought for nothing
thinking that everything will work itself out.

thinking that everything will work itself out,
we we fought for nothing,

I speak to the rain when it visits my windows
frequent
calls from the souls I met in my past life
and I know that they’re just checking on me
Taking care of me as they had before.
Sometimes sneering in disappointment
As they watch me make the same mistakes
Seeing my soul devoured by the same fears
That haunted my days with them.
I ask them for solitude
mercy, mercy, I hope you speak my name
thunder shakes my foundation
please tell me you have good news for me, my old friend
Tell me there’s a chance the life I lead now will be different from the last.
Tell me my soul will learn and grow and finally find peace in this life
Or the next
I beg you my friend,
Tell me
if we’ll live happily again?

The sky is blue.

but that’s only after the rain has settled and everything thing inside have me has poured out into the skies
I dove into the ocean with open wounds from a love that was a facade
but Poseidon called me to these barracks
made of broken shells from all the enteral wars I’ve battled
what a beautiful display I have set for you

do you ever forget that the ocean is blue
just as the sky
the horizon’s capability to hold the two beings in one place making them mutually exclusive
has me questioning my ability to exist beside you
The reefs of my rib cage isn’t as beautiful as they used to be
people have scraped my foundation for what feel like centuries
and I have not yet mastered the art of regeneration

I used to pray that you’d never forget me
and how I was your favorite color
But your eyes have set sail upon seas of stars
and I am far from a nebula
even my deepest shade of blue does not compete with the beauty of the night sky

there is more magic upon a shooting star than a wishing well
and all I wish for is gratitude
all I wish for is solitude
all I wish for
is to meet you at the horizon one last time
so you could fall in love with the depth of me

and I’ll show you why I make the sky want to touch the ocean

how dare you question the love I hold for you, boy
ain’t you see these scars on my chest
for the heart on your sleeve you think is your own
naw, boy, that **** is mine
look at the way she beats for you
ain’t you seen my tears pour out of me
healing all of the blisters you called wounds
but you said you knew what love was
I find your sense of humor unamusing
how dare you question the love I hold for you, boy
ain’t you hear the way I speak on your name
I need you to really listen this time
——doesn’t it sound so sweet?
the bitter taste you left in my mouth has tormented me
and you dare to question my love for you, boy
ain’t you know that I was molding you into a man
naw, whatever happened to your heart
you need to fix that yourself
and next time you want to question my love for you, boy
ask yourself if you was even worth loving in the first place
cause if your answer is the same as mine then maybe your name would taste as sweet as it sounds
