You cannot love a person more than you love yourself, it's illogical. What then is love? Is it offering water to someone from a leaking cup or offering shelter to someone in a house without a roof? Is it really possible to show up for others without knowing how to show up for yourself? What type of love then are you offering to these people you love more than yourself, do they not feel the emptiness in your embrace? What kind of love are you giving to these people you love more than life itself? Is love still love if it comes from an empty place?
To the potent:
do not dilute yourself
just to avoid
someone's retroperistalsis,
those strong enough to hold you down
will take you as you are......
(neat
I wore my heart
on a sleeve for you
but you preferred me
in a sleeveless
The ability to be fragile and yet so strong, to be gentle and yet firm, to stand whole like you've never been broken, the stories your skin tells to those brave enough to hear it and the pictures your soul paints for the heart daring and deep enough to hold you #YouAreArt

I'm still working on it
I could say you are the sun, my sun
Beautifully bright, ever so true to yourself and everyone exposed to you. The one who gives meaning to my days, what is day without you?
But you burn, my skin cringes and my head pounds when you stay. I need you to but not all the time so i hide.
I am working on it
Maybe you are the moon, my moon
Subtle yet present, beautiful but you are forever changing. When i need the whole of you, you come only in fragments, still beautiful to look at but never enough.
I'm still working on it
My star? The way you illuminate my nights into a vision i want to behold for eternity. I'll be honest, you are the biggest reason i look forward to the night. You are everywhere, all over, how am i to focus if pieces of you are floating in different shapes and orientations. An abyss in a galaxy, a faraway orbit. Trust me that is the beauty i want but baby, i want you in your wholeness.
I'm really still working on it
You can be the sky, my sky
Ever present, consistently constant
I know the storms steal your beauty but you always come back, the sun tries to illuminate but you always stay true. The moon and stars overwhelm you with their grandeur, i love that it compliments you.
I worked on it and i think i got it
What do you think?
Your eyes
Correct me if I'm wrong
I caught you staring at me from across the room
Suddenly the room became smaller
You were right there next to me
Your warm breath on my neck
Your soft hand on my waist
You were ******* me
A thousand people between us
Your eyes
Correct me if I'm wrong
You held my gaze long enough to make me feel like I've known you all my life
I mean i do know you but not in this way
At this moment I'm at your core
It's not a maze but I'm lost therein
Don't you dare search for me, i wana stay
Your eyes baby, your eyes
Love is not a 2 way street,
you do not give love just because you are getting it back,
yours is to just give it!
Give it to the one who gives it back,
give it to the one who will trump on it,
give it to that one who doesn't know it's value,
give it even to that one who doesn't appreciate it and even more so,
give it to that one who doesn't deserve it,
just love.
Don't give love with a list of expectations attached.
Love because you can
not because you want to or you feel like it.
I'll let you in on a secret:
Love is not an emotion,
it's a choice
CHOOSE LOVE!
Be that person with the love
