when i speak
to you
my words
become soft
and vulnerable
because
the last thing
i want to do
is leave you hurting
why can't you be that kind to me?

God I wish the words
I want to hear you say fell
out of your mouth
onto my lap where
I can take them and feed them to my
lonely soul.
coffee breaths -
warmness tickling
my winter cheeks
It’s the time I observed
the dark skies shine,
the rain drops rumble,
the children celebrate,
the climate freeze,

It’s the time when  
my echoes of the heart begin to mumble
with the lullaby of the wind, and the cup of tea
redefining the meaning of heaven
Oh nature! give us more of these days
I will dedicate you more of these poems

If it's one thing our generation knows best,
It's that words hurt.
Words now a days can tear us apart in a heart beat.
But just because we know that,
Doesn't always mean that we use that knowledge for the best.

The crazy thing is,
We don't seem to understand that,
Words hurt,
But so does the silence that comes with having nothing left to say.
-The silence breaks me more than the angry words that ended us

My friends and my family
all complain
that I’m always constantly late

But do you know why
life's such a drain?
Why I lay in my bed and just wait?

As relaxed as I seem
the calmness I feign
I'm loosing at an alarming rate

I try not to speak
‘bout the things in my brain
Cause depression’s just called checkmate
it seems they have have forgotten that i am fragile and need to spend time to make sure i dont break
I love my tears
because they're falling for you
I have no fears
because I always love you.

I like your smile
because it's so glad.
How do I smile
if you're feeling sad?

I can wake up at midnight
just because of you
I even don't need any light
to feel you.

You are my breath
You are my soul shine
I wouldn't be alive on this earth
if you won't be mine!

You cannot tell her she's beautiful,
You cannot tell her you love her,
You cannot tell her she's your world
When she's at her best moments.

You may only tell her those things,
If you're ready for her to have those off days,
If you're ready for her to not always wear makeup,
If you're ready to deal with her mood swings,
If you're ready for her to be clingey some days and distant others,

You cannot tell her any of the pretty little comments,
Unless you can handle her
Alone at two A.M.
As she's struggling with life,
And wondering why

She is not enough to win her own internal battles
-Don't you dare tell her you can handle her all the time if you're only ready to handle her at her best.
