There's nothing in the world I would not say
or do
or anywhere I would not go
if I believed it could save us,
Even if it wouldn't,
I'd string my words up like Christmas lights an give them to you,
to help brighten your world.
But I cannot give you anything
or be near you
or grab you and shake you or scream
or cry in to your chest.
I am at the mercy of you.
You have the power to leave
in seconds and minutes.
But I would do anything in this world to stop it.
Why? What's the point?
Because you are the first person I've ever really loved
and the first one who made me believe I was special
and the only one who's ever believed in me
and the last one I ever want to love.

From now until forever, but forever isn’t long.

From today until tomorrow, unless something goes wrong.

Starting now, and lasting forever, although forever doesn't exist,

Moving forward and getting nowhere, it’s you I can’t resist.

Ships are sinking, bridges burned, these mistakes, we can’t go back.

They're lessons that I've yet to learn, it’s sympathy for you, I lack.

Jumping off a buildings top, without your hand in mine;

“I love you” was far too much, I'm just trying to pass the time.

Dying is not an option, so I grow wings and fly;

Escaping from the world below, sinking in the sky.

I will write,
     I will write my amazing dreams
and you will be every ample sonnet,
     I will sing
     I will sing immortal ballads
and you will be in every imperfect note,
and the world will be my love letter
     sent across seven seas,
          stars,
             and time,
to a place where you could be mine.

Every step is a flight into the unknown,
I'm lost in the part that waits, my dear -
     inside the roaring storm coiled in my ear,
     crackling images less seen, more understood.
     I do not give up,
     I will not give in,
but the journey aches my chest
for you have stolen my smoke,
          no words determined,
          a sacred heart on fire,
     coiled in the branches
     to soar with bill and coo,
and mine at the merciless cry of the gull.

Without you, I am but a heroic wanderer -
unmoored,
     unrestrained,
           but not for my cowardice,
           no... not for that.
So don't worry my love,
     I will be so brave,
         but I'll accord every footstep
         speechlessly to you.

my heart is a glass of water
sometimes its boiling over
other times it expands and cracks
and it freezes me from the

the world turns endlessly
around and around
would you stop it for me
if i said "please"?

gravity pulls us down
back down to earth
would you let me fly away
if i asked nicely?

rivers run down stream
and if you could
would you make it run up
if i promised to be better?

i can hug and kiss you
be better, ask "please" nicer
but would you return the favor
if i said "i love you"?

don't fall in love
with me, i whisper
into the crooked spaces
of your ribs

i say, oh, darling
you can do so much better
then throwing you weighed down body
into the murky sea below this bridge

i hug you tight, while i
wrap chains round your body
tugging on your hand
as i gently pull you
towards the sea

one day you'll be drowning
and forget what it felt like to breathe
all you will be thinking about is me
and how i ruined you

I am struggling with the Choice of words
The best to use to develop my Researh Objectives
To determine
To assess

please help me choose the best three

Eyes welded shut.
Have you heard the sound or felt the burn of a cigarette being extinguished on your skin?
Have you ever compared pain to pain?
Emotional vs physical.
No winner ever declared though that is what makes it beautiful, and ugly.
We praise beauty on the outside and ugly on the inside.
Sharing the left over love for ugly on the outside and beauty on the inside.
That is why sad songs journey through my heart and out my brain.
They are simply experiencing the emptiness that remains in such a full world.
A full world full of fools.
The emotional killed the physical as we continue to perish to a point of no return.
It can heal with time, though just like burns that turn to scars on your skin, emotional scars never fully leave.
That is the point of this poem.
To remind you of the burn, that sang for a scar, in order to appreciate the rain.
That laughing and crying spare no difference, and I love that we are all fucked up.
For indeed, in some way, we are all fucked up.
Though fear not the unknown, for that is everything, and nothing.
A beauty all can access to make emptiness feel at home.
