19/F Writing poetry stemmed from many things in my past.
your eyes were the clearest of blues. they were beautiful. bright glowing gems that seemed to pulse, adorned with the longest lashes that curled gently towards the sky. with your eyes closed, they'd be the asymptotes that never reached your cheeks. your eyes were what made me fall in love with you. all i can remember now are those brilliant crystalline eyes of yours.

eyes
it kills me to know that you've turned to those things. you were getting better, you were. you made a promise to me and to yourself that swore off those things those things that make you giddy and glossy and float and fall and soar and sad and dream and drunk and make you not you. i can't help you no matter how much i want to or how hard i try. because in the end, it's you who will have to make the decision you, who will have to control yourself you, who will have to realize what you've become.

i was so sure that you were gone from my mind forever. i am angry at myself for letting you back in i am angry at myself for falling for you again i should have learned from my mistakes i should have learned that we just weren't meant to be and that even though our love was strong the times where i was sad outweighed the times where i was happy. and i refuse to blame you, because it really wasn't just your fault. it was mine too. and so i'm angry that i messed up and i'm angry that you messed up and i just wish that you would be gone from my mind now but it doesn't seem like that's happening anytime soon.

love, our story is different. it is not like all of the other stories that fill up libraries and occupy the minds of people on this earth. love, our story is beautiful. it is not absolutely flawless or perfect but yet, its imperfections are what makes it different. love, our story is unique. it is not at all cliche or normal but yet, its craziness is what makes it beautiful. love, our story is ours. it is not, will not be anyone else's and still its characters are what makes it *different, beautiful, unique, and*  ours. and love, i love our story.

our story, love
my heart feels like it's been bound by twine thinning, fraying, splitting, cutting the soft metronome of my pulse feels heavier and heavier each thud thunders in my body and i start to drown, simply because the twine is choking my heart so tightly taking away my breath and forming it into tears all because of him

plague
she whispers. "hey." "hm?" "you're my boulder." he chuckles. "what?" "you're my boulder. you're stronger than a rock. you're the one who keeps me from losing myself. you're the one who keeps me grounded. you are my boulder." he grimaces. "but if i'm a boulder then i'd crush you...i would hurt you." she laughs quietly. "well then, you're a gentle boulder. soft and fluffy and all that stuff." he stifles a laugh. "so do i just have a bunch of fluffy green moss growing on me?" she nods. "you're my big, gentle, sweet, moss-covered boulder." he smirks. "well... then i guess you're my pebble." she looks into his eyes. "how so?" "you're my pebble. you're small but not easy to break. you're seemingly fragile but you're stronger than you look. you're part of me and you're the one who can either break me or make me whole. you are my pebble." she smiles and he wraps his soft green sweatshirt that he's wearing around her shoulders. "mine." she murmurs. "my boulder." he whispers. "my pebble." and finally, both of them are found as they gaze at the stars and into each other's eyes.

the boulder and the pebble
A bright candlelight dances, enough for giving heat. It jerks kaleidoscopically, like music. Near oblivion, phantoms quietly rollick. Shadows trail up vapid walls. Xylography yet zigzags.

Untitled
I’m a riddle in nine syllables, A building with so many levels, With two big windows, hiding secrets. Adequate, presentable outside, Labyrinthine, ramshackle inside. Everyone becomes disillusioned. Who’ll fix this piece of architecture? Who will tend it, patch it up, love it? Maybe someday, someone will. Who knows?
