Life would be dark without people like you.
Lightning the path of my bitterness.
Never have I seen you upset.
And, If I did...
It would be the day the ocean was drained of salt.

You light my smile the way you light a candle,
and it burns to my heart making it a lighter place.

Maybe even forgetting the pain of others.

People live because of people like you.
You are a light in a world of darkness.

For a good friend :)

Have you ever had your stomach in so many knots…
That if you opened your mouth
                Out ?
           Fly
      Would
Butterflies
Illuminating the sky
The way your heart beams when you see him.

God, you hate it.

read from butterflies up after the word mouth :) The format is a little messed up on this so it's not as noticeable:)

I drew lines on my thighs to remember
The Pain
I forced upon myself because you left.
A Memorial.

You lifted my jaw with your hand, and for a minute …
I thought it was sweet.
But, then I remembered-
You were like a sunflower.
Light on the outside-
Dark in the middle.
