I was a moth,
drawn to you
like a candle-
until you blew out
the flame.

We all have that person who we are drawn to at some point, whether it be a friendship or relationship, that just ends in a way that blindsides us.

the princess
in shining armour
got the prince
out of his tower
make me your king?

what a smile
a splendid grin
lovely eyes
letting light in
a laugh
like butterflies
flying
from an airborne stone.
a touch
like warm snow
a blanket
to move and mold
a voice
like blooming dahlias
hair
soft and curled
arms
to fold around me
comfort
and joy
in your embrace
love
is all the more sweeter
with you
c.b. ♥
your first taste
makes the aftertaste
worth it
I tried to save you many times before
Witnessed others try to save you too
Finally I realize that the only person
Able to save you from your demons is you
I don't want to save you, only show you the light you have within you so you can use it to save yourself
