skyler
i've compared you to
oceans
drugs and
storms
to light
water
love and
more

i've crafted a million different metaphors
just to try and capture your beauty

but the truth is
you're just a boy
a boy i found perfection in

in every breath you took
and every atom in your ******* body
i found a reason to love

I feel empty today
Watching the snow
I feel as blank as the flakes,
With nothing left to sing
I have nothing left to give
So take what you will
I think I must leave
I stare at the stars on the ground
And the ones up in the sky
My feet will not move
Fixed like lights in the heaven
From where I am,
In this tree
I see the snow blanket
Cold and ironic
Like blank canvas,
Covered in lies
When I see printless snow
I cannot but help to think of children
With their perfect little ands and angelic smiles
With their strange desire to tear up the smoothe snow
I toss the thought aside
These are not thoughts for a being of my stature
For now I shall let Father Winter hold me in his icy embrace

Life is never without purpose
For animals the purpose it sustain others
A single, insignificant worm still feeds the robin
If that is my purpose than so be it
If my purpose is solely to evoke emotion in others
Than so be it, that is my purpose
If my purpose is to help one crying girl
Who is hiding and afraid
Then that is my purpose, so be it
If my only purpose was to stop
One boy from hurting
Only for them to hurt me back
Then so be my purpose
I am not ashamed to be worth very little,
For if am I worth little, I have worth

He was beauty, inside and out
He was the silver lining in a world of blackness
He was my light
And now I’m in the dark

Emily Dickinson
919

If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one Pain

Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain.

I once loved someone
Who never really loved me back
So I decided I would make this person
Who I wanted them to be
So I made them hungry until they shook
I laid them on the floor and made them
Sit up sit up sit up sit up
Until it hurt to stand
I rolled them over, made them go
Up and down up and down up and down
Until it felt like their muscles would bleed
I stood them in the shower
And let the water strip them of their skin
And then
I looked in the mirror
At this person I once loved
And I was still not satisfied

Love is like a sickness
With the cold feet
The fever heat of passion
But when it’s gone
You settle back down
With only scars in your memory
