bad boy, i got a weakness
i like the taste of blood licked from my
own hands from being reckless
tearing hearts out their intended
cavities and im afraid my mouth
is cold from being exposed

i guess i keep the charade
of getting mad at you
for not buying me cigarettes
or not telling me to quit them depending
if im interested in you

i go to the gym to heal
all of my mistakes instead of church
and its cuffing season
want you to tie me to your mast

and leave me there all season
then afterwards we'll never text each
other again because you're a bad boy
and you are no good for me

if i were to admit
that the reason I lose
countless hours of sleep
is because of you
would that be enough
to make you stay?

I would hold out my hand
Five fingers all covered in soft white sand
Wash you in bright blue seas
Kiss you with golden sun
Add a sprinkle of cafe and bars for fun

I would caress your cheeks with a light wind or two
I would care for your spirit by offering adventurous activities to do

I would sing  beautiful music to your ears
Make the island safe and happy to chase away your fears
I would add some wildlife a rugged coastline too, maybe even a petting zoo.

I would most of all build a home off the beaten track, so we can get lost, no way of finding our way back.

It’s like a spider
In a web
Crawling closer
Thread by thread

You try to run
But the strings are sticky
So you trip and fall
This was going to be tricky

You get back up
And continue on
Looking back
It was almost dawn

You’ve almost made it through the night
Keep on treading
You’re almost done
But the webs started spreading

The spider slowly follows
And you feel it in your soul
Here it comes again
Time to pay your toll

You lay there
Out of breath
Was it over?
Or was this death?

You couldn’t move
You felt dead
You were full of horrible emotions
One of them, dread

And suddenly, you realized
That big spider
The one that chased you
Was no outsider

You’ve been here before
All because of one thing
You should’ve stayed inside
But you didn’t know what the outside would bring

That spider
It feeds on society
That spider
Its name is Anxiety

I like the way your nose flairs when you laugh
And the way your lip quivers
I like how you stand
And how your words flow like the rivers
Your smile gives me butterflies
In your eyes I become lost
I want to be yours
I’ll keep my fingers crossed

We write of hate
We write of love
And other things
We know something of

At different angles
Add our lines
Take a spin
With what we find

Fact or fiction
Lies or truth
Being poets
It's what we do

We write of needs
We try and fill
Tug at hearts
Strengthen wills

From natures plight
To the call of man
We hold it all
Inside our pen

As the sage speaks
The pen moves
We say it all
It's what poets do

We write of days
Given away
A solace with
Something to say

Glimmer of hope
Much needed laugh
Rhyme for the reason
For feeling sad

A little off beat
Yet still in tune
Filling a need
It's what poets do

She's falling for the eyes, the smile,
the mystery - Everything he is

She is hoping, for his love to surround
for him to come around

Her patience faded,
and her loving too

A year later, completely moved on,
No sadness in sight, contended with life

Anxious, He came,
Wishing, asking,

Her hands, he's begging
all she ever long for, finally here

but exactly a year ago,
she left it all behind

and this,
she's holding, no longer beats for him

If only she waited, if only he rushed
or so the story goes

She loved a soul, once
and she never fell for him

-again

should we blame time?

Hey, I just wanted to say how much I love you
I can’t say it enough
But it is more than I have ever loved anyone else
Including my life

I want to make you feel better
I am willing to do whatever it takes
You are my life
And without you, there is nothing

I don’t know how to say it in real life
And I'm not sure if you will ever see this
But I love you
And there is no one else who I could ever feel this toward

I want to make you feel this love
Feel that you are worth it
And feel like life is worth it
Even if life *****.

Without you, I'm nothing. With you, I'm something. Together, we’re everything.
This statement is true to me
Is it true to you?

I love you
And there is nothing more honest than that
I don’t want to live without you
And I believe that I could help you
This is for anyone who feels like no one loves you, I do. Please save others and share this with anyone who may be struggling.
