I just wish intentions could be more pure. I just wish communication could find it's way back to honesty. I just wish people would be more upfront and let you know what it is, instead of having to find out through lies what it isn't. It's like nobody wants to be authentic anymore. It's like people are afraid to be real. It's made trust hard to give, loyalty hard to find, and transparency hard to see. The world we live in.

I wish
Are my eyes growing weary or has the light in your eyes dimmed a little since we first met? Is my body growing old or do you not hold me tight enough like you used to? Am I losing the feeling in my mouth or have our kisses lost their passion? Do you not love me anymore or was there ever a love to begin with?

Illusions
Forever feeling her life is dying But the doctors keep on lying. "Your daughter will be fine, Just give her some time." But she wasn't okay Because your baby girl took her life today. She couldn't keep running And she wouldn't stand living. Her silent plea's for love Left her heart on black doves. "I'm in pain" Her innocence cut, her pride slain. Her cries fell on deaf ears So no one realized her fears. No one saw her fatal change Until her heart was out of range. She wrote out letters Saying her life would be better. She laid the pistol on her heart And blew her body apart. Her parents cry themselves to sleep And all her friends weep. They loved that girl well And left her alone in Hell. Maybe her soul can be free And everyone will see The lost life of one teen And the love there could have been.

That Girl
falling in love is a lot like dying slow you won't realize it until you're ten feet underground falling in love is like going to see the sunset but realizing the sunset lasts only 30 minutes in a day falling in love is like going up to the ice cream truck after chasing it for blocks and realizing they don't have your favorite flavor falling in love is like showing her off to all your friends like you're back in school and today's event is show-and-tell falling in love is like taking your first puff, coughing it out and revisiting it years later like it never once left your body falling in love is seeing role models turn into humans, and humans into role models. falling in love is like witnessing your first car crash i guess it wasn't as exciting as it felt on tv. falling in love is going to your childhood park, and realizing people never really go to parks anymore. falling in love is remembering that kid who moved in grade three who said they'd stay in touch, but never heard from again. falling in love is seeing that kid 10 years later and dreaming of the next 10 years together falling in love is seeing them as a reflection of yourself sprawled over the bed, and wondering to yourself **** what more could i ask?" falling in love is screaming PLEASE I WANT THIS TO LAST LOVE is seeing them hunched on a hospital bed, hearing them say "what life have we led?" falling in love is visiting their grave, hearts broken and sore, realizing i don't want to fall in love anymore

Today I learned that humans are 99.9% genetically identical to one another. That's an awful lot isn't it? So please forgive me for having these mud-colored eyes of mine.   For I know you cant compare them to something beautiful like the fresh waters off the coast of Venice Or to the first leaf of spring exposed after the final layer of ice thawed off. Please forgive me for having this unruly curly hair which you can never run your fingers through unless you are okay with the amount of time it takes to untangle your fingers from the mess I carry upon my shoulders. Please forgive me for not having English be the first language to roll off my tongue. I know I pay the cost when I cannot find the right words to express how deeply I am in love with everything that is you. But darling, if you must know one thing, know this: Every cell in my body craves to show you how infatuated I am with you. This heart beats so loudly whenever you are near it's a wonder it hasn't broken the ribs which enclose it.   My fickle brain goes back and forth between wanting you and needing you. But there is no need to worry, my love. I always manage to steer it in the right direction. And because of all this, I will never fear the day when you will no longer love me because if everything within my skin loves you this deeply, I know everything you carry inside feels the same way because today I learned that humans are 99.9% genetically identical to one another. That's an awful lot isn't it?

I'm the one who tore down the walls around your heart I'm the one who seen the deepest darkest part of you I'm the one who was there to hold you at your weakest I'm the one who forgave you for not always wanting me I'm the one who was there when no one else was I'm the one who let you cry at night because you missed your mom I'm the one who dealt with your attitude I'm the one who learned that love isn't perfect I'm the one who learned not to let others take parts of yourself I'm the one who got stabbed when I wasn't watching I'm the one who had the pain and had no one I'm the one who learned that love isn't worth the pain

The one
if he kisses you and it doesn't feel like his love is penetrating your veins through your mouth, if he kisses you and you feel like you owe him something more, if he kisses you and it feels like his tongue is searching for a "yes" in the back of your throat, if he kisses you and you don't feel like it is a direct pouring out of his love for you from his mouth to yours, if he kisses you and time doesn't stop, if he kisses you and the room doesn't spin, if he kisses you and you're not floating, if he kisses you and his lips aren't the only thing keeping you grounded, if he kisses you and he doesn't need both hands to steady himself, both hands to keep his grip on your beautiful face so he doesn't get lost in you then darling, he is not for you. if he kisses you and it doesn't feel like he loves you, then darling, i am sorry, but he is not the one for you.

kissing
Guys say they wanna ride or die but they looking at these thots. Wanna girl nice and pretty also gotta be smart. Trying find the perfect girl in this UN perfect world. The girl you really need thinks she’s gotta be a queen. Got us searching for our king but he can’t be seen. If you don’t wanna thot, fellas you really need to stop. A girl who’s right for you is the one who is lost. But girls you too gotta stay true. Stop actin like you dumb because in the end it ain’t cute *** Dress modest cause hottest.. I know you show some skin thinking it’s the guy that you’ll win. But he ain’t the one for you if he only looking at your ***** Play it safe play it smart make him work for your heart. Love is a two way street so slow down and see who you meet.

Love is a two way street
Prologue a cavern grinning with flashes of teeth to smile with those white things, my love, my heart cannot help but seep into the soft, soft soil it burrows down and stretches its roots so that petals and floral pigments radiate with heat my love, I was brought to my knees and the skies a turmoil of gray, when you told me I couldn't be yours to keep that day, and so the days wore by and my hands rummaged with paradox melodies, cracked with paint and sores wondering at how I possible can feel alone Prologue the reminiscent of your laughter crooked gently in the stern of your chin and the corners of your eyes kissing the ends of your cheeks, the fly of words a blushing fury of the most beautiful syllables, softly pecking at the strings which stitched the folds of my heart when I thought it would tear me apart, to always exist along your side, but to never have your hands folded around mine Present the echo of the past still travels steadfast and the petals which have bloomed in contrast have drunk the glory while it last, yet, my love, the sun is sinking fast and the cold winter is creeping to steal what was mine stolen by the flickering fireside, connections burrowed deeper and the seed grown into a magnificent willow in breathtaking strife the jargon infused of salt, ridden from the shore feels like a home where the prints from the sand won't be blown away, at night the waves play a silent game with the tug of the moon and the succulent kisses trickling in the gorgeous fray, now by your side there is no where else I would rather be, kindling the fire to keep the permafrost from creeping into your sheets my friend, my dear, dear friend heed my advice and believe, scream at the sky with vigor and pulsing life share the love you carry from the mountainous caverns of your chest and brighten the galaxy in everyone's night sky like how you have done the same for me and soon, very soon, my dear friend, as tragic as time endures unforeseen, we would have to our part ways so as long as we can, lets hold our hands like how it used to be, just like how it is now, like how it is now
