i am speechless
i am speechless at the thought of you
your care
your words
your smile
your potential.
bridges have fallen
crashed down
burned
a home ransacked
pillaged
put in ruins
my heart melted from blind love
and
your heart remained privately unyielding
toxically and stealthily.
i am speechless

it doesn't take much
to be a true friend
it doesn't take years
to do something right
it doesn't take much strength
to reach out and help
it does take a real villian
to hurt those who care
it takes vile crudeness
to make one feel dead
or long to be

roses are red
violets are blue
glad my fate doesn't belong to you
marigolds are orange
daffodils are yellow
if you truly knew me you wouldn't be so mellow
daylilies are green
my rose has crumbled black
but
i hope you find the genuine love you lack

next time, back up instead of shove
you never know how close someone might be
to the edge of their personal cliffs

it ebbs, it flows
it can be invisible, intangible.
yet it can be the most powerful
tool
weapon
defense
and saving grace

You see you, you see a girl
I see you, I see the world
I see the world so deep in your glacé brown eyes
I see a world so bright like luminous fireflies
I hear your laughter echoing in the night
I feel your soft hands hold on to mine tight
The way that your voice makes me smile inside
Could send me to heaven and be unsatisfied
Long after the sun sets you’re still in my mind
Hopefully tomorrow you’re this easy to find
Because before the sun sets we must say goodbye
And dream of the next time that we’ll be side by side
