15/Gender Questioning/Colorado If I must die eventually, I want some piece of me to remain, even if it is the most painful part.
I just feel broken The words are pieces of glass Every time i try to pick them up To put them together I get hurt by them

Broken
You taught me to live, You taught me to love, You showed me I’m worth The beat of a heart above. More than the rhythm of a drum, More than the empty words once numb. You lit a spark where darkness lay, Turned grey skies into dawn’s first ray. Your touch rewrote my fragile skin, Made me believe in dreams again. Our lives since meeting belong in fiction, A miracle penned without restriction. We are the fairytale lovers read at night, A whispered hope, a candlelight. We are the story etched in someone’s mind, A melody timeless, a fate redefined. The world may watch, may ache, may yearn, But ours is the flame they cannot burn. We were written for each other’s soul, Two halves now joined, at last made whole. So hand in hand, through storm or weather, We’ll write each chapter, craft it better. No ending waits, no final tether— Our love’s a book that lasts forever.

A long envied story, now mine at long last
I still want to know if youre okay Your window is always open Every time it is, I pray Pray you didnt do something that hurts you Pray no one ever again hurts you I hated myself for loving you I hated you for loving me Staring out at this grecean sea Its strange that I finally see We may have been right But we werent ready I may have caught myself in a web of lies I have caught myself admiring your eyes I'm not sorry for falling in love I'm sorry it was the wrong time I'm sorry for loving you I'm sorry for pretending I didnt I'm sorry I hated myself for loving you As much as I hated you for loving me I wrote my letter Every word trying to bring back the boy i once knew Just the friend side of you And you did. And I was afraid. Thank you. I was tangled in my memories Now i get my mind back

Tangled in memory (coming undone)
I think I'm in love again I think I can love again My heart beats faster My breath feels warmer The world seems sweeter The birds in my ears can sing again The devil on my shoulder has stopped screaming But what am I to do When I cant be loved too I cant be loved by who By the one I may have fallen for Never again will my heart lie dead Beneath the floor We all love again when the time comes and goes Let the past be the past The future holds the unknown

Love again
Life holds our hands like a mother at dusk, with palms still warm from the day’s quiet trust, her breath is a song we have known since birth, full of sunlit fields and the scent of earth. She teaches us rhythm with trembling grace, sways us in circles we ache to retrace— each heartbeat a footfall, a whispered plea: stay just a moment longer with me. But Death waits quiet, just past the line, not cruel, not kind, just steady with time. A shadow in velvet, no need to speak, offering rest for the bones that creak. We dance that edge with unspoken dread, our heels near the dark, our eyes ahead. And still—before the final fall, we turn once more to Life’s soft call. A breath. A blink. The final sway. The ghost of light at close of day. And then, as dancers do in time, we step across that thinning line— not dragged, not torn, but led with grace, into Death’s arms, a gentler place. And Life, behind us, sheds her name, but never once forgets our face. The hardest part of living When everyone loses the faith You had always given Now your world falls to grief, the bridge between what was and is— a breath, unseen. The space they filled still hums with light, though they have vanished from your sight. Grief is love in different skin— a door left open, a voice within. Life and Death juggle your world Some days the world feels brighter Some it feels it should be lighter Say your prayers, your goodbyes, never lose their loving eyes

The Thinning Line
I used to be free All too soon before I turned to stone The moment my guardian angel Stopped guarding me I fell in love with a fairytale He was mine We were sweethearts A love story to be told More true than in the story books An angel was sent to protect me He stayed He cared He loved me He never tried to leave He told me every story I memorized every word Every movement Every glance Every smile I know every detail Of anything he ever said He was my angel I was forever his He loved me forever and always He never said goodnight without: "My Love" "My Beautiful Angel" "My Goddess" "Beautiful" My heart So eager to feel love once He said we were soulmates I say we drew the right cards My dreams told me we were meant to guard each other 60 days, 4 hours, 1 minute, 12 seconds All the time we had before you were gone Every word, every memory, every dream Caught in a frame of time This was our first goodbye 261 days, 12 hours, 7 minutes, 50 seconds How long I have loved you as of 12:16am today Every second a reminder of when you left Every minute a debate to beg for your return Every day another attempt to cut my string of life The difference? 201 days, 8 hours, 6 minutes, 38 seconds Every day, another stone I set for you to find her Every second of it another tear dropped from my eyes I didn't just cry you a river, I cried you a sea 180 days, 8 hours, 17 minutes The time it has been since you left for good I have been numbed I looked into Medusa's eye and chose to see her beauty Yet I still turned to stone 200 stones I have placed for you to find her Only one last step She is yours You are hers One more stone and one more tear and you can both be free I have become stone Not the last step, but the first You have reached her at the sea I hope you can learn to see She will be the one to get you on one knee I cried you a sea I let you turn me to stone I learned that guardian angels, They don't get told who to protect They go and find them on their own A fairytale Too real to be true The story books only tell of the true loves kiss Never the oceans or the paths taken to get there A fairytale, and I get to see first hand that true love is theirs

We all know Of the Soldier The Poet And the King But not all Have heard stories Of the fire And the wing Of the one Called the Rebel With a heart That will not yield Who will rise When the silence Is the loudest In the field Of the one Called the Wanderer With no crown And no home Who will walk Through the ruins So the lost Won’t be alone Of the one Called the Dreamer With the stars In their eyes Who will speak Of a future That the world Won’t recognize The original three Only are Because of the wanderer With her love for the sea The rebel And his want to be free And the dreamer Following a path only they can see And together They roam through Every forest Every kingdom Every fairytale Every end of the earth And still They keep the skies blue

Rebel, Wander, Dream
Take me back to our first glance from across class Take me back to the first time we heard each others name Take me back to the first time we said hello Take me back to the first time we sat together at lunch Take me back to our first conversation Take me back to our first aimless talk about green day Take me back to the first time we said see you later Take me back to the first time we talked in a class Take me back to the first time we walked to class together Take me back to the first time I had love in my eyes when I saw you Take me back to the first time I asked for your phone number Take me back to the first time you saw that love Take me back to the first time I could tell you loved me too Take me back to the first time i held your hand Take me back to the first time we hugged Take me back to the first time we said I Love You Take me back to the first time I sent you a good morning text Take me back to the first time you sent one back with a heart <3 Take me back to the first time we sat together in that blue and green chair Take me back to the first time we kissed Take me back to the first of 4 shows I saw just for you Take me back to the first time you cried and I was there with you Dont take me back to the first time you were honest Dont take me back to the first time you said you lost me Dont take me back to the first time you said you were leaving Dont take me back to the first time it was As If Desire Yelled Never Never take me back to the first time her response to Desire said no Never take me back to the first time you saw her Never take me back to the first time you loved her Never take me back to the first time the cycle repeated under a new name And never ever take me back Not even to the first time

(Never) Take me back to love
Take me back to our first glance from across class Take me back to the first time we heard each others name Take me back to the first time we said hello Take me back to the first time we sat together at lunch Take me back to our first conversation Take me back to our first aimless talk about green day Take me back to the first time we said see you later Take me back to the first time we talked in a class Take me back to the first time we walked to class together Take me back to the first time I had love in my eyes when I saw you Take me back to the first time I asked for your phone number Take me back to the first time you saw that love Take me back to the first time I could tell you loved me too Take me back to the first time i held your hand Take me back to the first time we hugged Take me back to the first time we said I Love You Take me back to the first time I sent you a good morning text Take me back to the first time you sent one back with a heart <3 Take me back to the first time we sat together in that blue and green chair Take me back to the first time we kissed Take me back to the first of 4 shows I saw just for you Take me back to the first time you cried and I was there with you Dont take me back to the first time you were honest Dont take me back to the first time you said you lost me Dont take me back to the first time you said you were leaving Dont take me back to the first time it was As If Desire Yelled Never Never take me back to the first time her response to Desire said no Never take me back to the first time you saw her Never take me back to the first time you loved her Never take me back to the first time the cycle repeated under a new name And never ever take me back Not even to the first time

I knew this was coming- It doesnt make it hurt less When you said his name my heart stopped Any time you look at him No This is wrong You deserve joy Only joy Understanding has fleeted But I need to realize Another chance Causes another heartbreak Kindness between us is gone As If Desire Yelled Never Every no turned Lies to yes And he will be yours Your happiness is more important Not my sanity Even in the longest run

I Hate You (I Still Love You)
Unspoken words fell between us like snow. Remember how you smiled, soft and sudden? I wanted to believe you meant it. And maybe you did — for a moment. How fast warmth turns cold. Summer light flickered in your eyes, Tangled with lies you didn’t tell out loud. Every goodbye echoed longer than the love. Leaves changed faster than we did. Light doesn’t mean truth. And I finally stopped mistaking the two. Sometimes kindness hides the cruelest hands. Time didn’t soften you — or me. Even now, I question what was real. Promises spoken over texts mean little. Hope hurts more than heartbreak. Everything I gave, you swallowed whole. Now I hold it back. Loving you felt like an exhale. I didn’t know peace could feel temporary. After you left, I stopped breathing right. Maybe that’s why I still get dizzy in the fall. Anger was easier than grief. Love didn’t feel safe with you. Even your touch was lined with shadow. X marks where I buried the trust. And you — you were something else. I called you prince, but you vanished like a ghost. Daylight sits heavy in the chair where we used to meet. You led me on like a dance. Now, you spin circles with her. Tried to be what you wanted. I lost myself learning how to bend. Maybe I never should have. Jokes turned into arguments too fast. Underneath every “haha,” something cracked. Laughter isn’t always love. Long nights didn’t save us. I searched for warmth in your shadow. And came out colder. Now I light my own fire. In the beginning, I believed. Sometimes I still do. Kisses don’t mean connection. You proved that the hard way. This is what I learned from loving you Holding on hurts more than letting go. Even the sweetest lies stain the tongue. Every ending writes itself, eventually. Names fade, but the ache carves deep. Desire doesn’t mean destiny — I know that now.

Spelled In Scars (Nine Ways I fell Apart)
