I don't normally write a lot but when i do it's because the object behind the story or poem has been on my mind a lot and i want to get my feelings down
Her skin reminded him of an old porcelain cup Smooth but tattered She like the cup had reminders of what they had been through What they had survived And like the cup with all its flaws…… She was beautiful

His Porcelain Cup
You seem perfect. Like you have no problems Your eyes. Hair. Smile But i know you. I know how much your problems affect you. I know that those bags under your beautiful blue eyes aren’t because you’re “tired” but the fact that your parents were fighting over how much your father drinks. I know you’re hair is a mess not because you’re trying to be cool but you didn’t have time to fix it while trying to get your siblings ready. I know the smile you put on in the mornings isn’t your real one, you’re real one would light up this town but you put on a facade because you don’t want to be seen as weak, you don’t want others pity

Not Perfection
I am like a mirror It takes a strong force to shatter me but once I’m broken I can never be fixed I am like a rose Beautiful but protected so none can bring hurt to me I am like the stars only in complete darkness can you see who i really am I am me someone who you can never define because i am my own

I Am
What killed me the most was watching you with her kissing, hugging, loving What broke my heart was hearing you tell her you loved her and that you’d never leave What was poison in my veins was knowing you had said that same thing to me With the same love in your eyes What helped me sleep at night was shedding my tears, the tears you used to wipe away What kept me in bed some days was understanding that you were actually gone and never coming back But what gave me the strength to move on was MY courage, MY bravery and MY longing to acquire new things in my life.

How do you know when you love someone? Is it watching them kiss another? When you stand by watching them love someone else, feeling your heart shatter in your chest but you stand quiet because the only thing that matters is their happiness, When you stand, gazing at the stars and it reminds you of their smile and the twinkle in their eyes, Or is it when the warm fuzzy feeling you get when you hear their name or see them gets stronger than ever before.

Loving Somebody
When we touch it’s like you lit a fire just under my skin When we talk my heart flutters and jumps about never for a moment staying still When our eyes meet I could swear that it becomes only me and you in this world  at that moment

Your eyes. I could look in them all day and never get tired or bored. They’ve become my favorite color. Your smile. Your smile could light up the whole town if that was possible. Your laugh. Hearing your laugh lets me know that one day everything will be ok. Maybe not today but one day Your sense of humor. Its a little odd some days but it’s what makes you, you. Home. You’re my home. You’re where my heart is and has been for awhile. The way you hold me. I feel safe, like no one can hurt me when you are around. You make me smile. Without even trying. Smiling is a natural thing with you Your respect for me. The fact that you’re not like every other guy. You didn’t push me to have *** with you even though i gave you chances. You didn’t want that to put a strain on the relationship. Your loyalty. I don’t only mean to the relationship, but to your friends. Your craziness. The fact that you aren’t afraid to be yourself. It’s refreshing Your kisses. The spontaneous ones. The forehead or nose kisses. The small pecks or the long passionate ones.   Your hugs. They make me feel like even if it is just in that moment that everything will be okay. Your patience. With me and my mom. Your ability to see past my faults. I know i have a lot of them but you seem to not notice to many of them, Or at least if you do you don’t comment on them How caring you are. That even though we aren’t together you are still willing to be there for me. To listen to my problems. ||You’ll never actually understand how much i appreciate that.|| Your stubbornness. Oh man. even though that can make you a pain in the donkey. It’s something that makes me respect you. You refuse to give up. If a door won’t open you don’t give up you keep trying. You understand. You understand me. More than you think you do. More than most people do. You’re there when i need someone. That night at the movie’s if you hadn’t had been so patient I would have more than likely gone into a panic attack,but of course my Superman swooped down and saved the day I wasn’t planning on falling in love with you, but I’m glad I did

I was at a party last night tipping poison down my already-burnt throat because I thought it could help me to forget you. however, I forgot my own name and left yours stuck on my tongue. they asked me for drugs last night but they laughed at me when I told them about your smile. everything about you is addictive to the point of me craving you every second. when everyone had gone last night and I was left alone to pick up the shattered pieces of themselves that they left on the floor, I wished you were there. in a way, you were with me last night. forcing me to empty the bottle of ***** whispering with your lips touching my ear; occupying every single thought I had. I thought I didn't miss you anymore. I was wrong. you were never the one that was missing. you took me with you.

you asked me what love is today, little one. I smiled and said, love is your mummy and daddy smiling. love is how we care for you. love is the way we kiss. I wish I could say that love is always made up of comfort and warmth and a cherished feeling spreading through your veins. but it's not. love is the tears stained into your cheeks. love is the constant feeling of jealousy because you can't bear anyone taking away the only person who makes you happy. love is sadness love is broken love is a knife that twists in your stomach every time he doesn't reply. I wish I could say love was easy, little one. It's not. But it sure as hell is beautiful.

a message for my daughter
it's the hardest thing in the world, watching you fade. I'm waiting until you become dust all for a more prominent ribcage and to be able to cut diamonds with your collarbones. it's the hardest thing in the world, watching you cry in front of your reflection. your pain is never beautiful but your soul always will be. you always were. it's the hardest thing in the world, watching you die. you were always so fragile, so delicate. I fear you might snap when I try to hug you close, with your bones digging into my arms. it's the hardest thing in the world, watching you fight. although, it's not so much of a fight when you're too tired to and the winner is guaranteed and you never wanted to win anyway.
