And just like that, I have returned
No longer a traveler looking for my place
I've felt the grasp of the one who bore me
Which brought me back to earth
I am here, just like you.
I am me, just as we all should be.
I know what tethers me here
I felt the ground take hold of my roots
Keeping me in my position,
Allowing me to grow
I've seen the origins of my soul
I felt the air rush back into my lungs
Reminding me once again,
I am of flesh, I am of bone
And just like that, I have returned

I am the culmination
Of my mother's fear
And my father's regret
I am the culmination
Of my grandmother's desperation
And my grandfather's separation
I am the culmination
Of their hopes and their dreams
Of the pain and the screams
I am the culminate

I have oceans inside of me
Oceans deep within my soul
Ready to flow out to love you
Ready to envelop you completely
Ready to drown you with its intensity
I have oceans to give you
They're all yours,
All you have to do is say the word
And I will turn to liquid
Ready to flow out to love you
Ready to envelop you completely
Ready to down you with my intensity
I have oceans inside of me to give you
But you tell me you'd rather a puddle
You'd like the safety from the shore
You want a slow, steady stream to
Flow out to
Pool at your feet and
Love an appropriate amount

Take a deep breath in.
Inhale the words
That just rolled off his lips,
The carbon dioxide-filled lies
Take in the substance
That feeds your hungry mind
Let it circulate.
Spread to your heart,
Rush through your veins
The thrill of the burn
Is worth all the pain because,
You can feel something
Now exhale everything.
Expel the poison from your lungs
And the disease that is him
Cough up every remnant of the acid
Repress the memories of toxic touch
Cleanse yourself before he kills you
Then breath in again.

You struggle to say three inane words
To proclaim your unwavering devotion to me
You don't know how often I hear them
I don't want to listen to another lie
Prove it to me.
Paint me.
Capture my essence in hues of blue
Highlight the delicate curves and rises
Put great effort and immense detail into
My deep browns and shades of pink
Write me.
Make me a beautiful, glowing heroine
Scribble about my wittiness and allure
Compose lovely poems that address
My impossibly obtainable heart
Play me.
Construct symphonies with sweet harmonies
Flutter through major and minor scales
As complex as the thoughts in my mind
Turn my soul into music
Adore me.
Brush your vivid colors over my body
Scrawl the elegant lines of words into my skin
Quietly hum your angelic songs in my ear
Make me immortal with art, words, and songs
Then you will have proven it.

I cannot write love poems
It is a little fact about me
Trust me, I’ve tried so many times,
But nothing can capture you quite right,
For words are not enough
I cannot describe the feelings you give me
Like the pleasant dizziness that fills my head
when you are so close to me I could burst
And the wonderful swelling of my heart
when you say I love you and look into my eyes
Or the simple bliss that overcomes me
when I think of just being yours forever
I couldn’t possibly compare our love to anything
Because we are deeper and wider
than any canyon on the face of the earth
We are more vast and immense
than all of the sky and all of its inhabitants
And we are more powerful and essential
than any life source that provides the millions
I won’t be able to convey your likeness in words
Your eyes are far too blue and deep
to be like the restless ocean or the airy sky
Your face is far too admirable and handsome
to be like the gods in those legends the Greeks once told
Your body is far too chiseled and flawless
to be like the immaculate statues of the Romans
So, I cannot write love poems
It’s a little fact about me
Nothing can capture you quite right,
This earth cannot hold our love
The feelings you give me are too complex
You, my love, are far too perfect
for a simple love poem

I hope you know
That when I get drunk
I still think about you
I had a dream last night
And you were in it
On a billboard,
As an advertisement
And I was struck with awe
Seeing you up there
Better than what I had remembered
I don’t know what I felt
Maybe it was longing
Or maybe it was peace
Knowing you were better off
Than when I left you
All I know,
Is sometimes I miss your touch
And the way you spoke to me
Sometimes I miss
The way you would look at me
And devour me with your eyes
All I know,
Is I hope that you miss me
As much as I hope you’re happy

People suffer in silence
No matter how many words
Can reach another’s ears
No one can truly understand
How can I explain
Not being able to breathe a single breath
When air is surrounding me completely
My lungs have all but shriveled up,
Leaving me heaving, coughing and desperate
How can one person explain to another
Losing the atmosphere that protects them
When the earth is still intact
How can one person explain to another
Drowning in immensely deep waters
When they’re standing on high ground
And I choke on my own tears

It makes me sad to know
That, to me, you’re the sun,
and I’m only one of your planets
Constantly orbiting at a distance
I guess that I’m lucky.
At least I’m not a star,
In a different solar system
Glittering in the background
But they are lucky too,
They can’t get ****** in
With your forcible pull
They are free from your gravity

There's something about the wild,
That is alluring and calls my name
It drags me down its winding paths
And brings me back up again
There's something about the wild,
That's so exciting and so pure
It cleanses me of all past notions
And teaches me something new
There's something about the wild,
That's savage and unrelenting
It chews me up and spits me out
And toughens my outer skin
There's something about the wild,
That is mysterious and baffling
It confounds and twists my thoughts
And makes my simple mind reel
There's something about the wild,
That is alluring and calls my name
It drags me down its winding paths
And brings me back up again
