There’s a post that mentions something along the lines of normal people say “I love you”and poets say -I will adore every particle that’s ever been near your body and breath, because they are closer than even my hands could touch. And it’s true, but that’s because sometimes I love you just doesn’t come close to the feeling I get in my chest when you touch me Your fingers spread a wildfire through my veins with even the slightest brush Your lips give fireworks in my heart that I can’t ever put out When you look at me, the anxiety of wanting you so deeply feels like my stomach is the sea on its roughest day, And its angelic to feel, Your love it’s unlike anything I’ve ever known, and sometimes even poetry isn’t enough

Poetry isn’t enough
I never thought I’d have this life Brought up on a broken council estate I was never meant to have this nuclear family When I look back at my life And where I came from To looking at what I have And where my future is headed It feels surreal I’m not meant to have this much promise in my life I don’t know how to handle it I’ve got survivors guilt Because of who I left behind The past version of me And the people I cut off along the way I hope I can forgive past me for sabotaging myself Because she almost broke the woman I am today

Survivors guilt
Fate is such a weird thing Two people two completely different lives Find each other Simply when the universe decides I was young and lost You were older and the same I was stuck in a cycle of toxicity Unable to break free of the chains Until that fateful day When we went out for that drive And I fell in love so quickly For once I wasn’t blind Fate brought you to me And nothing will ever change my mind

Fate
I hope to god that I go first Because I wouldn’t know what to do without you Because the thought of being without you is genuinely too painful And a lifetime with you simply wouldn’t be enough So I hope I go first Because I know you’d be strong for our girls Because I know that you’d be okay without me until I could see you again Because I know that you’re a stronger person than me But then I hope you’re not far behind Because you’ve told me you don’t want to be alone Because I know how much you secretly love affection Because I know that when the beds empty you get confused as to why I’m not there stealing the quilt or snoring But if you do go first Know that I’d be counting the days until I saw you again I’d get a dog to keep your side of the bed warm and wake me up with snores I’d re watch supernatural to fall asleep to re live our memories And I’d make sure that I’d stay strong for these girls

Selfish
To be loved is to be seen And I never realized just how invisible I felt Until you came along And saw me in full color

Your love is quiet Yet to me it’s so loud You love so silently It never makes a sound But I can feel it in every corner of this home And anytime you come close Your love is soft I’m at home wherever you are Your love is gentle I can see it in the way you are when I’m breaking Your love is like a sunset A million times I could feel and see it and still it makes me feel at peace Your love is like the moon Ever watching and ever guiding keeping my gravity steady

Quiet
I can’t write poetry anymore And it’s not because I don’t want too It’s because i can’t I used to be able to write for hours But what once fuelled me Doesn’t anymore See I used to write when my heart was breaking Or when my soul felt heavy But I haven’t felt that way in such a long time Because I’m finally complete I’m finally happy After years of looking after everyone but myself I now look after myself above anyone But only with one exception My dear sweet child If only you knew That the second I knew I had you All my fears would leave All my heartbreak healed They say motherhood is hard I say it can’t be Loving you is easy Watching you grow is magic Learning about the world with you is inspiring But in a whole different way I can’t imagine who I’d be without you
