Power

Because I kept coming back you thought it was okay to keep hurting me. You couldn't just let me leave-- that was too simple
You wanted me to feel something; pain.
You wanted me not having you to hurt.
You got off on my pain. You got off on the power you had over me. The power to rule me.
You knew that even when I got upset that I would come right back and that's why you didn't fight for me. Or fight to love me back.
You didn't love me. You never did. But you told me those three words to make me stay, to ******* back, to make me want you more.

It's crazy how I stuck around for 6 months just for you to drag me down. You got off on the pain. You loved the power you had over me. You loved how I would do anything for you if you asked-- and sometimes you didn't even have to ask.

I wonder if you've thought of me

I wonder if you've thought about me
and yes I know that that's how it's supposed to be
But have you thought of me?
Truly thought of me?

not my name or my personality
Have you truly thought of me?
not just how I smiled
but the way I licked my lips before I did

Have you thought of me?
truly reminisced?
the way I kissed your nose
before I lightly touched your lips

it's easy to make yourself forget the big things
the grand gestures that lend themselves to memories
but what of the intricacies?
Have you truly thought of me?

I suppose we all forget eventually
and the past becomes a distant memory
so I need you to answer me

Have you ever truly thought of me?

you can lean
on the tennis court fence
and tell me
about your day, your week,
your life.

i can sit
on the tennis court floor
smoking bits
taking petty photos
of the sky,
as you say how bad it is
to be alive.

we'll find
comfort in loneliness
and when we
finally feel okay,
i'll snap
a new photo
of our sky.

Divine

Beauty is she
The one who holds my heart
It is with her
That I do not wish to part

She left flowers on the inside
Put oxygen in my lungs
Gave me a forever
Of intertwined tongues

She painted my future
Beginning to end
Starting with the broken past
She chose to amend

So as long as she loves me
The flowers will stay
And the oxygen in my lungs
Never will stray

A Year Of Love

Love me the way the wind loves the trees
******* away
Rustle my leaves

Love me the way the sky loves the sun
Light up my day
Fill it with fun

Love me the way the sea loves the shore
Wash my heart clean
Kiss me some more

Don't leave me in Autumn
When the branches are bare
Don't leave me in Winter
When the sun isn't there

Keep loving me in Spring
When the tides start to turn
Keep loving me in Summer
When my skin starts to burn

Just love me the way
A boy loves a girl
And we will just wait
For this love to unfurl

#love #summer #winter #rhyme #spring #seasons #sea #autumn #leaves #year

Incomparable

If I could reach up
And extend my arms

Stretch out my fingers
Squeeze my eyes shut and just touch
The very tip of a star

Stardust would sprinkle into my hair
Twinkling, like morning frost

I would float up
Weightless
A feather headed back to the wing of the bird who left it behind

I would soar above the world
Candy floss clouds caught in my shoelaces

The moon would look on
Watch me wrap myself in a midnight blanket
And gaze back down to earth from the heavens

If I could just touch that star
An entire world of magic would course through my fingertips

But it would be nothing
Nothing
Compared to how I feel when I'm with you
