AngelicaofAquitaine - Hello Poetry

Sweet boy, I've already written a book full of love broken stories Which one of us is going to lose this time? I'm really hoping that one day it will all be alright But I know better than to say this one's right How will it go again? Will you tell me too late that you never cared Let me give you myself then lock your own self away You think I'm pretty but there's always a but You like me only enough to want me to stay Or does it go like this? You fall in love too fast I can be cold too, maybe it's my fault I break the heart of a lover brand new to the world Am I the cycle that they're all stuck in too? Maybe I play all my cards right And Lady Luck turns your heart into mine We walk the tight rope to the altar line It happened once to someone harder to love Well maybe someday it'll happen to us

8 years later you're engaged, and going to a concert with your sibling but you run into someone not quite familiar and learn that the man who sexually assaulted you still knows your name You're taking a photo at a club full of people supposed to be safe, but a man says you look beautiful, follows you as you move, and comes from nowhere again to say he loves the way you dance. You're enjoying dinner that you cooked with your partner, and you get a long message from your ex that you've been barred from a community space. He says you never appreciated him enough. You feel your own hips, own chest, own hair, and think, this is womanly. You can trust someone is watching every time you feel safe.

You can never be taken enough to not be a target

I don't want you to do anything different from who you are, but I want you here. I miss you. I want you. I'm so proud of you. I show you off to everyone. You are out doing an amazing thing in the world. I miss you. I want you. And I miss you. I wish you were here to cuddle me. I wish you were here to be next to me. I miss you. I want you. I want to kiss your belly. I want you to help me on my projects. I want you to hand me coffee in the morning. I miss you. I want you. I love our life together, and you being apart from my life for a little while is part of our life. I miss you. I want you. Nothing can replace you. No one can love me the way I do. You make it look so easy, and yet you're the only one who can do it. I miss you. I want you. I want you to have your adventures, and I want you home. It's not fair. Why can't we cross continents in blinks so that I can sleep next to you? I miss you. I want you. My love.

This Part of Our Life

I don't want you to do anything different from who you are, but I want you here. I miss you. I want you. I'm so proud of you. I show you off to everyone.

Sometimes when I'm tired, I'll think that I don't want to exist This life is suffering, striving, And why should I continue I hate the life I've made. But there are other things There are dreams There is presence There is support There is beauty When I'm in these things, I don't think life is suffering. I think issues can be managed I don't think, really. I just love.

But there are other things There are dreams There is presence There is support There is beauty When I'm in these things, I don't think life is suffering. I think issues can be managed I don't think, really. I just love.

I’ll get there someday, I just know it I’ll get it right I just have to get out there and Keep trying And refuse to compromise With less love than what I give I’ll get there but it’s scary To get out there again I have my memories I have my comfort I’m not ready To let go Yes Go ahead, Say that I’m a coward But I just need more time I need much much more practice Saying that things can get better Saying that the pains of leaving the status quo Would be worth it for a happy love

Love isn’t supposed to hurt

I’ll get there someday, I just know it I’ll get it right I just have to get out there and Keep trying And refuse to compromise With less love than what I give I’ll get there but it’s scary To get out there again I have my memories I have my comfort I’m not ready To let go Yes Go ahead, Say that I’m a coward But I just need more time I need much much more practice Saying that things can get better Saying that the pains of leaving the status quo Would be worth it for a happy love

My heart hurts and hurts and hurts It hurts when I don’t distract it with media, or stuff it away to do work It hurts with a low ache, a mourning Hasn’t it always hurt? Even when we were together, I hurt What’s wrong with me? Everything feels somehow wrong An undercurrent of dread Nausea I want to throw up, but there’s no bile It’s the thought of you I want to push away Reject Expel from my dreams and my memories Why did you not love me? Why did I love you? Why did we do all this? It’s disgusting It’s wrong The kind of thing that someone’d wrinkle their nose to It’s just boy problems Stupid silly But all’s fair in love and war, I remember

Isn't love supposed to hurt?

My heart hurts and hurts and hurts It hurts when I don’t distract it with media, or stuff it away to do work It hurts with a low ache, a mourning Hasn’t it always hurt?

Everything feels somehow wrong An undercurrent of dread Nausea I want to throw up, but there’s no bile It’s the thought of you I want to push away Reject Expel from my dreams and my memories Why did you not love me?

You have taught me that I can want birth and kids and marriage You have taught me that I can give myself pleasure You have taught me that mindfulness is based on curiousity, not belief You have taught me that I want security, as well as a partner and friend You have taught me to speak up for what it is my heart wants You have taught me some pieces in the holes of my past You have taught me to dominate You have taught me to receive You have taught me to massage You have taught me to climb

When you break my heart, it will be worth it, because you made me feel the whole of it again You poor deprived boy, you are the tragic one to not feel the awe of love While you see in me a book that has opened its pages for you I see in you our happiness, our selves, our life I feel like a medium I feel like a clown I feel like the worst ***** Who sold herself for her heart, in the rush of a holiday sale I feel like I am stripped naked and returned to a truth clothed by logic and scorn I trust you to care for me when you break me You sweet beautiful thing

I want to tell you that I love you. “I love you,” isn’t necessarily a romantic sentiment. “I love you,” can mean all types of things. I want to tell you “I love you,” because it feels important to tell people that they are loved, and someone telling you directly that you are loved by them seems like it could give a lot of comfort. Though if you panic instead, that doesn’t seem like it would bring comfort. I suppose my urge to tell you “I love you” is an urge to wrap you in the burning thought of a strongest hug. I want to convey that I think you are worthy of care, that I want you to feel loved, that you are beautiful, that I am so glad I have you in my life, that you push me and comfort me in ways I’ve never gotten to explore, that I would be there for you if you let me. I want to give you a kiss on the forehead and see you smile, pleased and content.

I want to go back and take you and shake you and tell you “NO they are not right for us” I want to make it so neither of us gets hurt, but instead we grow old and heal together, with fewer scars and more time.
