These words spill out of me like an overflowing cup,
My demons control me and tell me my time is up.
Hands bound I stand tall facing my last days,
But all I can see is your face in the morning haze.
I can feel you near me like winters cold touch,
And I can't help but to wonder why I love you so much.
There are a million reasons for you to leave me,
But my blind love makes it hard to see clearly.
Him

Him
Why do I have to be so naive,
The only thing I can do now is grieve,
I know things just weren't meant to be,
I just wish it could have been me,
But why did you have to tear apart my heart?
Even from the start,
I was warned by people who did care,
And in the end, they were there.
But where were you?
You just left me in the blue,
I guess you didn’t love me like you said,
Was it in your plan to want me dead?
I was out on an emotional limb,
When will I learn to never mess with him?
I wrote this poem after a bad break up where I still loved him, even after everything he had done to me, I couldn't stop falling in love with him.

Love.
My least favorite word.
Love.
Someone crying but never heard.
Love.
A dangerous game everyone plays.
Love.
And in the end, everyone pays.

the smell of your cologne makes me smile,
we lay hugging each other for while.
your strong arms around my frame,
the way you smile crookedly at me is to blame.
your face lit up by the midnight sky,
it makes my heart flutter like a butterfly.

Cold touch,
Warm breath,
Soft hands,
You’re the only one who truly understands.
