I have loved you too late,
Beauty so ancient and so new.
I have loved you too late.
You were with me but I was not with you.
I was away from you, running after the beauties which you have made.
The things which exist only through you kept me far away from you.
You have called, cried out and pierced my deafness.
You have enlightened me, and my blindness is
   banished by your brightness.
I have tasted you and I am hungry for you.
You have touched me and I am on fire with longing to embrace you.
Powerful words by the catholic saint, Augustine.
He was a sinful man who turned back to God in his later years.
Retrieved this from his Confessions and thought I would share it's beauty.

I hope to god that she realizes that it's a privilege to be in the shoes I've once been in

Because right now, I'd do anything to feel alive again
but all I can do is ******* miss you
Fix Me?
Can
You
Just maybe
But
I'm insane
I think...
Sometimes

Brain
Fill my
Thoughts
Backward

I'm really trying
Just bare with me
Please
So easily
Breaks
My heart

Trust issues
I have
I know...
Confusing
Been so
Has always
You
About
**Everything
I sound like Yoda, Huh?
Try reading it bottom to top (left to right), the way it was originally written. :)

No matter how much of an open book you are
people will still read what others wrote on your back.
They don't see the scars there or the pain you felt
No they are hidden beneath this leather
They only see the number of stars you've been given
Not the the real world you live in.

So please, do this for me
I won't even make you open my book,
I just ask for a non-judgemental look.
A moment for you to rest your mouth
And learn what i'm really about.
Bold guyssss :)
Valentines Day is still pretty far away
But I have made my plans already
I was thinking eating chocolate I bought myself all by myself
Watching a really ****** love movie depressing myself
Probably eating enough ice cream to fill a truck with
Straight out of the bucket
And I shouldn’t worry, I’m young
There’s still plenty of time to fall in love
But watching everyone around me who is in love
Makes me want to impale cupid with his own arrow
Because I always fall in love…alone
The word “unrequited” should be stabbed
The word is best friends with “lonely”
I don’t expect anyone to see past my imperfections
Long enough to give me a chance by February 14th
So I’m planning ahead of time
Making my grocery list: Sad Movie, Kleenex box, Chocolate, Ice cream, blanket, tea.
I’ve had my eye on you since the very first day I saw you
Any chance you want to ruin my Valentines day plans?

Repost if you expect to be alone... again on Valentines Day, even though it is far away.

Before he came all she
felt was aching bones and
her lungs splitting up. It
wasn't easy it was ****
tough. All she felt was the
blood rush. Spilling out from
her veins staining her soul with
solid pain. Do tell it was pretty
lame to live with such shame.
She couldn't find someone to
blame. He closed the wounds
and licked every little bruise.
Turning them from shades of
blue to pink lilac behind the walls
of his bedroom. Before he came
she was burning in flames. If it
wasn't for him she would of still
been in all forms of pain* ~

Blood coursing through
my veins. Driving me crazy
and insane. Boiling with fatal
desire. I claw my way on your
body. Begging you to touch me
in ways that'll make my soul run
wild and free screaming out the best
of poetry while you switch positions
and sit on top of me. While kissing you
passionately i'll show you the freak I've
been hiding inside of me* ~
