Raven
You broke me

You broke me with your words
And you broke me with your gaze

You told me you loved me
Then became distant for days

You broke me with your habits
And addictions

You took my heart
And wrapped it in flames

Maybe you thought that
Would warm it back up
But all it did
Was burn it apart
And now it's in ashes
So I can't fix it
Because

You
Broke
Me

Eternally

For all the empty promises, the crocodile tears, the anger, the emotions in general. For the tears, and the hurt, and the longing. For the good times along with the bad times. For the adventures and the laughter and the prancing and the frolicking.

For the beaches and the overlooks and the rollercoasters and and the drugs and the beer and the shenanigans. For the casinos and the hotel rooms, for the crazy people and the jokes we made about them. For all of it.

I love you
A broken promise, but never made.
The wedding ring, but never worn
A touch done too many others.
The love given too many men.
A dream of happiness, never fulfilled.
Her last words "I love you"
My last words "Where are you?

- L. Andrade
Promises that were never named, but were broken.

a sixteen year
old me went
on a search
one day.

maybe she was
broken. maybe she
wanted to prove
that it

exists.

she never did
find what she
was looking for.

all she felt
was temporary bouts
of feelings from
people.

satisfaction
sadness
anger
loss

a twenty year
old me still
holds on to
that search.
Eyes of our world
are eyes that see
ones imagining
possibilities

There's such an elation
From your fingertips touching mine
There's a beautiful, unexplainable
Ecstatic feel from our fingerprints rubbing against each other
Sparking the fire that keeps us warm
On this cold weather
Let's keep warm
