As time pass us by
We get older everyday
Bones become heavier
Muscles deteriorate
I hope it's never too late
We can share a birthday cake
Spend time near a crystal lake
We'll become free souls
As love begins to unfold
Your love I treasure like gold
It seems to never get old
We lose vision, lack eye sight
Let's hold hands walk in the light
We walk slower, move patiently
Let's sleep together silently
Our skin starts to drag to the floor
My love will still shine even more
We become grandma and grandpa
It's inevitable just contemplate
Give your time 2 the ones who love
Because they were sent from above
Don't try giving it when it's too late
Let your heart reign free
Think with your heart
And not with your mind
I hope one day you'll be mine
Your lost in the affection of strangers
Instead of the person
That always cared about you
Love you best friend...
You'll know who you are.... <\3

I think a lot of us forget that you can have flaws and still be beautiful.
Beauty and flaws can coexist.
I believe that everyone has both has flaws and holds beauty to at least to a certain extent and in different ways.
Besides, beauty is within the eye of the beholder anyways.

You came that night
when I was afraid of the dark
and the rain
but you let me see
the dark is just a blanket
that I will use at night
when I sleep
and the rain
is just like showers
petals coming from the clouds
gentle and kind
they will never hurt me

I know

Your wings are my protection
Since the day you step your foot
On the ground
for me

Your wings--
my shelter*.
shelter, blanket, love, angel, wings, life, you

I wanted to
But you couldn't

I hoped
But you wouldn't

I understood
Why we shouldn't

So you declined
And we didn't

But it would
Have been fun

If we would've

In books
we watch
as characters
go through
hard times

We pull
for them
as they
stuggle
to survive

In our hearts
they deserve
the happy ending

I haven't always
rooted for myself
Haven't always
believed in my heart
that I deserve
the happy ending

While I've always
cherished words
books and poetry

I haven't always
cherished my
own story

I realize now
my life is worth
cherishing

And I'm going to fight
for my own
happy ending

phalaenopsis
the shards of my shattered blood line
piercing into my lungs
tearing it open

letting me bleed my sadness out.

i bleed slowly;
                       i bleed,
                                    i bleed.

your vibrant persona is too much for me to handle,
it feels choking at times.

but nonetheless i am attracted
like a moth to a flame.
i know it is dangerous,
i know it will only end in my execution,
but i go in anyway
orchestrating my own death.

i plummet into your aura,
i take it in.

and a small part of me believes
that you even had the smallest inch of care for me.

but you don't.
it's someone else it always is.

it's always the 'it's not you it's me' crap;
or the 'i don't feel the same' torture.

nonetheless it breaks me,
and i break in silence.

the saddest part is i thought i had a chance with you.

joker.

what a joke.

it can't happen,
it will never happen.
and that is all there is for me.

there is no yes or inbetween.
it is always no,
a resounding no.

but it's not your fault.
i know i am an ogre,
a monster with two minuscule eyes,
with my pores oozing acid,
and my mouth spewing fire.

my fiery temper restricts all suitors,
i know i cannot be tamed.

maybe that is why.

i am boundless and limitless and that may be intimidating.
but
but i am human,

and every human has that one boundary and
that one
limitation.

that was meant to be you,
meant to be you for me.

but you have someone else,
someone prettier and better.

so be happy, because that's all i want;

but for now,

i bleed slowly;
i bleed,
i bleed.
i'm currently mending a broken heart by using the only means i know how... poetry.
