I told you I love you Because I wanted you to know: To know that you can trust me To know that you can find comfort with me To know that you can love me.

To love me
I told you I love you. You didn’t say it back. But I knew you wouldn’t. I just didn’t know It would hurt this badly.

To say ‘I love you’
I cringe as you pin my hands to the bed. I giggle nervously, not because of you, But the thoughts in my head, The little voice that tells me what not to do. It isn’t the shock of your strength Or your ever growing sensual desire. It isn’t the smirk on your face Or the wild delight in your eyes That pushes us back a pace. It is the fear and the pain, And the better judgment That runs through my brain. It is my punishment. I give in as your hand guides itself. I may smile slightly, but because of you. My mind begs for help, But the little voice tells me what to do. It is the security of your strength And your ever growing passionate desire. It the sweetness of your face And the soft delight in your eyes. That drives the pace. It is the love and the lust, And my need to please That allows my brain to trust. It settles my unease.

It is (not) because of you
You can sacrifice me To spare her, But you can't spare her To save me.

Spare Parts
Drowning is the feeling Where you can't catch a breath Where your eyes fill with water Where you can't resurface Where your darkness surrounds Drowning is the feeling Of struggle Drowning is Where you make peace with death

Drowning
Your presence is crepuscular. In my  beating heart, I feel muscular When the twinkling starts. Your infinite laughs Absorb me like gravity. Each humorous blast Engraves the moons cavity. Your ostentatious sense Explodes like a super nova With every chance, But you're only my Casanova. Your spirited eccentricity Forces all into orbit Causing the weather to become dusty Taking my love from Mars to Jupiter. I admire you as the sun, Honoured to shine with your light. Even as far as Pluto, The sun would be bright.

Galactic Love
Twisted tree trunks lay On the black ashen soils, Burnt to the ground As the arid air boils. The tiny creatures Scurry far away Abandoning their homes For a new place to stay. Entering the land Which humans populate. Entering streets They thought were desolate. Instead polluting machines Roll across the earth, Scaring plants to Wilt to the hearth. Grey puffy tails Searching for nuts. Forced to learn What roads not to trust. Little wild rabbits Dig a hole in the ground, To be soon blockaded By a filthy garbage mound. The birds flutter From the burning tree tops Only to be choked By the brightly lit shops Human’s running around Not caring what goes where. Driving large cars and polluting the air. All causing our ozone layer to tare. Smog filled air, And trash filled land. Leading to a filthy death Shouldn’t these actions be band?

As the Trees Burn
Yesterday, Tender pursuits Ordered by shortened expression And personal amusement. Pleasure was channeled by uncanny imagination. Ignorance was developed with years of sheltered nurture. Endeavors were focused Through heartened dreams Waiting eternities to age. Today, Life is starved of dignity, Lead by the breath of humanity, And trailed by my past. Kindness overshadowed by needless mockery. Confidence diminished Through thoughtless faults. Purity saturated with uncertain willingness. Competence choked from the flairs of society. Tomorrow, Independence is a necessity Steered by Today, Speckled by yesterday. Motivation should dictate my verdicts, And challenge perils. Agonies lifted Through sanguinity Virtue grown Only through praise From the satisfaction of many. Yesterday, today, tomorrow Immersed in today Is the root of my future.

Depression
All I think Is can I give up now? I've learned one thing Waiting lasts Much longer than they say And it's never The end
