It never occurred to me that one day there would be no us
The taste that your lips allowed made me forget my own name
Why were we always in such a rush?
I always took the blame
Oh God please help me now
His touch left marks on my skin
I would always vow
That I would never sin
He made me think unholy things
I’m going to hell
My heart was played like a puppet on strings
I shall not dwell
My tears felt cold
His shaky hands were on fire
His eyes shone gold
This was all so dire
You forgot my name, you forgot my love
I forgot your face, I forgot your flesh
My lips were as white as a dove
The pain you left stayed fresh

the stars were trying
to impersonate
your eyes tonight,
and art is trying
to make someone
love you,
the stars and art
were so convincing
that it made me vow
to cherish you
like you are
the most expensive
piece of art
and the most
unreachable star
that ever existed.

Something inside of me has snapped
& I couldn't be more empty
I couldn't be more sad
I collapsed on the floor
& broke

it was always you
you were always the one to make me laugh
the one who made me sad
the one who made me smile
it was always you
you were always the one who made me feel safe
the one who’d put me in danger
the one who held me like I would break
it was always you
you were always the one to set my insides on fire
the one who made my lips tingle
the one who made my whole body quiver
it was always you
you were always the one who saw something within me
the one who told me I was worth it
the one who made me feel like I wasn't nothing
you were the one who made it easier to breathe
until one day you left
and suddenly I couldn’t breathe anymore

They say true love never dies.
Oh how they’re wrong because it does.
True love does die.
It happens suddenly.
It happens out of nowhere.
You could be doing anything.
Getting coffee or reading a book.
Petting your cat or going for a run.
You’re going about your business and then you see them.
That one person who made your day light up like the sun does during the first light of the day. They have that twinkle about them like the North Star.
The sweet smell like the salt in ocean water… But your day isn’t any brighter than it was before anymore.
The twinkle is gone and there’s no sweet scent that kisses your nose.
And when they touched you, your insides ignited and set you aflame.
Your blood pumped through your veins and your heartbeat quickened so fast you were sure it would beat right out of your chest.
Their skin was like honeysuckle and their lips tasted like cherries and wine you got drunk on….however, their touch left you chilled.
Your heartbeat slowed and your blood went about its normal business.
Their skin seemed paler than before and their lips tasted like stale beer and toothpaste.
You feel as though you should feel disappointed but you don’t, for you knew this would happen. You hurt for awhile but soon you find someone else who sets you on fire and smells like the beach.
You find someone else who shines like the Big Dipper and your heart beats at a rapid pace that should concern you.
You find someone else who kisses like the smell of spring and feels like untouched snow.
True love does die because if it was true love to begin with, you’d think that it’d be there forever. That it would never leave your side until it does.

Her eyes shone bright
Oh how her smile lit up the night
She ignited your blood
And made your bones shiver
Her kisses intoxicated you
Her touch electrified your skin
She took you places you’ve never been before
You started to believe in love
Then the days grew dark
The nights turned cold
She said, “It was never you.”
“I rather be alone.”
Days passed
Months went by
She was gone
She took your heart with her
Her spirit always ran free
She was nothing but a comet in the sky
She never stayed long
But her presence always stayed by your side

The heartache
It never ends
I can't help but break
I can't help but bend
I cry every night now
I cry everyday
I knew our love was foul
I tried to keep it at bay
I still crave your touch
I still need your light
It was a sudden clutch
It was so bright
It was over
I got lost
I believed our love was like a four leaf clover
Instead it was as cold as frost
I am so tired
I am so weak
Our love left me wired
Now the glass breaks with my heart wrenching shriek

Still, you’re the one for me
I got to know you
In these numbered days
I got familiar with your touch
In the matter of seconds
Still, you’re the one for me
Every time you wrapped your arms around my waist
And you held me tight
Planted soft kisses upon my neck
A sigh of content
Still, you’re the one for me
Struck me with hands I once cradled
Spoke to me in your honeysuckle voice
With words of hatred
I don’t know where I went wrong
Still, you’re the one for me

I used to think men
should be more like books
Both you cannot
judge by looks...
If I didn't want to finish reading
I put it down... no heart was bleeding
A book will never fuss or fight
It will stay with you
through the night...
It doesn't smoke. It doesn't drink.
It won't leave toothpaste
in the sink!
It doesn't binge... it don't eat...
It won't leave up the toilet seat!
It don't forget. It doesn't mope.
It won't hog the TV remote!
It doesn't have to have
The last say...
It doesn't have legs
to walk away.
But it's not soft. It isn't warm.
It doesn't keep you
safe from harm.
Even though it makes no fuss
It can't think. It can't discuss.
Even though it has its charms
it can't hold you in its arms.
It doesn't pine. It doesn't miss.
It can't hug and it can't kiss.
So now I think on it again...
... *I think BOOKS should be
more like MEN!!!*

you are such a misery,
like a deep blue sea,
you are slowly killing me,
like the sting of a bee.
there's a reason why,
when i look at you in the eye,
all that i can do is sigh,
because you left me high.
with the brightest sunshine,
i will make the words rhyme,
i want you to be mine,
even if i run out of time.
