i was wondering
why
i had a headache
trying
to understand the pain
but it was right in front of me
taking up
too much space
-it was you

i lay awake at night
with a thought confined mind
going over
what’s already over
between us
and how
love changed
to the dust under our feet
please
i can’t sleep
i can’t stop
wondering why
you’re so consumed
with fitting in
within an unfit people
why can’t you realize
that in my eyes
we only have to fit each other

you're like a song
an endless melody
weaving words together
with just a smile
it's been awhile
but you make my heart run for miles
something about that smile
gives me butterflies inside
I swear, that smile could light up the sky

when i first saw you
i knew
what your smile
would do
to a mind
like mine
i waited
patiently
for you
to ask my name
to hear
your voice
for the first time

i always knew
there'd be an end
i guess i just
never knew when
i thought our love
would last
but then came the hurt
the words
cut deep
invisible scars
that would keep
me up at night
replaying in my head
all the hurt
you said
you'd never do to me
but there you were
hurting me
instead

home isn't just a four letter word
it isn't just a house or a place
with rooms and walls and boards
home is so much more
it's seeing your sister sleeping
soundly on the couch
next to the snoring dog
it's looking at old pictures
laughing about that one time
with your family by your side
it's the look your parents
give each other across the kitchen
like they've just fallen in love for the first time
it's sitting down for dinner
and smiling at each other across the table
thinking that life couldn't get any simpler
it's holding the ones you love
so tight they might break
for fear that home will lose its true meaning
home has many faces
not just simply words or places
home is full of endless love

i've seen you cry
felt your pain
i've dried your eyes
i've seen your worst
felt your anger
i've helped your hurt
i've seen your best
felt your smile
i've forgotten the rest
i've seen your heart
felt your pulse
i've touched every part
i've seen your love
felt your love
i've fallen in love

tell me what it is you want
and trust me, i'll listen
if you jump, I jump
i'll make truth out of all your wishes
i can be anything
the shelves that hold your favorite books
the blanket that wraps around your skin
the mirror that tells you how you look
just tell me, and i'll be
i can be the warmth that you need,
a safe place to come home to
i can be the winter wind,
lifting you off your feet
i can be the sun that touches your body,
take me all in
i can be the light that guides you,
follow me
i can be here
and i can be yours
and if you let me,
together we could rule the world

we are not poetry
our tears don't have words
fit to describe them
to their exact measure of pain
our eyes are not the oceans
you compare them to
because you've run out of hues
our smiles aren't phrases
you heard in your past
nor is our laughter
equivalent to your favourite song
don't hide us between lines
and this fine black ink
let us grow and live
please let us be
for we are people,
and not poetry.

The part I hate the most about this feeling
is that it doesn't look pretty in paint
nor does it sound lovely in lyrics
it doesn't rectify the emptiness
when I pour myself into other people's cup
I fill them up to forget what I am full of
things I do not love
colors that do not transfer well onto paper
words that don't make sense
nothing about this comes together
in ways that can expand and commence
this feeling is not a pattern
this suffering is not art
you can't trace a deadly storm that you did not acknowledge
from the start
