Eight year old me cries out for me Fourteen year old me gives me the best bus routes to purposely get lost so i wouldn’t have to go home. Seventeen year old me stares blankly at the family wall, wishing she did well raising her siblings. Twenty Two year old me comforts me, singing the lullabies i begged to hear when I was five. but now; Twenty year old me is begging that she can hold down the fortress just a little longer.

the hand of a lover caressing your cheek in a darken room only to learn the hand of a lover caressing your cheek in a darken room was only your loneliness ready to consume.

hand of a lover; darken room
I always thought Romeo and Juliet were overrated What kind of lover would die for the other The gullible beautiful girl to fall for such a mesmerizing **** My breath was not held when Shakespeare wrote “ O happy dagger, / This is thy sheath “ For what kind of woman who would **** her self over a man I was raised to know my worth, to **** every inch of self respect up I would not die for any lover and live only for myself I always thought Romeo and Juliet were overrated until I had met a lover my heart soars with sonnets my lips speak love letters I would have gladly swept her from any harm the only mesmerizing **** was my vile tongue convincing me love was not a shakespearean play

shakespearean love
Oh Ophelia, My Sweet, Ophelia She who tastes like huckleberries and smells like wild cherries. Oh Ophelia, My Sweet, Ophelia She who loves to bathe in the lagoon and dry in the mid sun afternoon. Oh Ophelia My Sweet, Ophelia She who could not bear her fathers death and took her last breath. Oh Ophelia My Sweet Ophelia She who drowned in her lagoon and the earth shall never hear her tune. Oh Ophelia My Sweet Ophelia She who loved deep and now she is asleep. Oh Ophelia My Tragic, Ophelia. She who is incapable of her own distress and I, must confess. Oh Ophelia You, are Tragedy.

Oh, Ophelia.
love is the loneliest feeling in the world it makes me feel lonely it makes me sit at a coffee shop in agony aware of the fast paced world around me no matter how much i try to reach out it will never be close enough no one will ever be close enough i am lonely in love even being alone, is better than being with a lover and feeling totally, alone.

loneliest feeling
i was yours i always thought i would be yours i believed i would be yours i was not yours i thought wrong, i know not a thing of beliefs for i am not yours and am on a negative scale i do not have beliefs, for you are not mine you were mine, long after i was not yours you did not attend church of truth; no beliefs you did not have an unbalanced scale you were mine nine months of pure love or so i thought; i thought wrong i had beliefs and truths i wish you were never mine for you have made me believe solemnly that i am always wrong, i am unworthy

i have come to realize, one day there will be a final curtain call on Youth, and that, the clouds that present themselves as mountains, on the horizon of colourful life, are to far for a mortal to touch, to grasp and to hold, for the youth that is holding me now; will soon be like the clouds that possess, themselves as mountains, on the horizons of life. for my youth, will soon be too far to reach, and that the horizon of colourful life, will soon be a wretched black sky, for my youth, is not for me to hold forever.

fleeting youth
I could never love you, the way people think I can I love you in many ways, complex ways, simple ways, hard ways but never the way people think I can. I love you as much as the universe loves her stars, I love you as much as the rain hitting your bare skin. but never in the way people think I can. They think I can only love someone lightly, softly, friendly, platonically I love you as Alexander the Great loved Hephaestion. Secretly, deeply, intensely.
