i live through literature. breathing through poetry and feeding through prose. / i am a warrior with the pen as my sword and the paper as my battlefield.
You bound strong sandals on my feet, You gave me bread and wine, And sent me under sun and stars, For all the world was mine. Oh, take the sandals off my feet, You know not what you do; For all my world is in your arms, My sun and stars are you.

-you
it's not okay that i still think of you every night before i go to bed and every morning when i wake in every first sip of coffee and every last shot of whiskey you're on my mind and baby it hurts everytime i see the night sky, i ask myself if i still cross your mind because baby, you still do (every now and then) and i am worried until when in every page of a book i turn i remind myself of the pain of having you as a whole book (present in every page, just like in every day) while i was a mere chapter in yours i remember you with the air that hugs my body with the heat from the sun that kisses my skin with the sound of everyone's breathing i can feel you in a room full of people i search for you and when i can't see you, i imagine you hiding on a post (smiling) just like how i saw you the first time i still think of you every now and then and i just can't seem to let you go

water and gravity
I'm losing my mind In the same way I'm losing us. I wanted to stay But baby you broke my trust. We became over-confident That we will get through this together. Honey give me a name of a couple That proves the promise of forever. But try as I might I cannot forget, And try as I might I cannot love you less.

I wanted to take My favorite parts of you And press it on my favorite book Just like I do with petals From flowers that I like But they ended up leaving dents into the book. And I wondered why. Because I picked my favorite parts, Only then must I have realized, That every part of you Was my favorite. *i pressed all of you into the book but you were too good to be true you ruined the book, -me*

-you
Love and lust, anger and jealousy Bliss and sorrow, depression and ecstasy. Don't you think it's quite unfair that one person can make you feel. All this feeling- every possible feeling that ever existed in this mad world. But one thing I love most is that you are my calmness. That at one point, when I'm a massive ferocious lion, you calmed me down back into the tiny little kitten that I've always been. The moment I was ready to jump off a cliff, nearing the edge, you pulled me in and turned me around to face you. When I was breaking down and wanted to give up on everything, you were there. And everything was fine again.

I laid my cards Onto the desk. Taking my chances, Forgetting the risk. Because the only thing We should regret, Are the chances we didn't get.
