Niveous, Your soul is niveous,
You dance slightly, following the wind,
You are separate, uniquely beautiful,
You are always cold, pale and thin,
And you are so beautiful, always falling for someone,
Always twirling in a cloud of life.
The sky is dark, but with you here, the world seems brighter...
Niveous, snowy or resembling snow.

A hot and deep hatred
Burning fury and scorching wrath climb out my mouth,
Your family indignifies mine,
Your bloodline an atrocity,
I mope and weep and hope for death,
But I soon decide I’d rather yours.
Blood lust and icy glares,
Unforgiven crimes and unapologetic faces.
I send a knife through my kin,
I destroy my only future,
The heat suffocates our sweltering bodies,
And my blood becomes the sun.
I watch the bodies pile up, I swear aloud and fight the urge to growl
A simple hand gesture can start a brawl
And a single kiss can start the bloodshed.
Hatred courses through these roads,
Filling the cracks between our city,
I curse and swing my sword
Thrashing and fighting,
Dodge, step, attack,
All our futures bleed out,
Drying on the cobblestones.

A kiss
Warm shivers,
cold winds
Night walks,
broken promises,
Love and lust,
Soft touches of red and fire,
Cold dread, constant worry,
Joy overflows,
Love blinds
Hate kills,
Lust torments,
Pain and fear, suffering and mourning,
But still,
We love.
A feeling fleeing to the dark,
Something makes me want to follow,
Fluttery feelings,
Quick succession,
A garden full of life,
A kiss,
A beginning,
The means to an end,
Love
This was a school project....

You, the boy with the large flannels and red hair,
You the boy with the puffy eyes and soft hugs,
The boy I don’t know well yet but already love,
The boy who smells of fallen leaves and cinnamon
You haven’t been in my world very long, but when I see you it makes my day
All the dumb jokes, easy smiles, and quiet understandings,
All of your soft affections are why I wish we were closer.

You, the girl with the high skirts and the curves,
You, the girl with tights and cat sweaters,
The girl who I wish for when I feel desperate, when I need a hug,
The girl who smells of floral air, of clean soap.
You provided a comfort I didn’t know I needed,
All the kisses on my cheek, the soft embraces and the warm intertwining of fingers,
All these things are why I’m so grateful I met you.

You the boy with the yellow beanie and the inked hands,
You, the boy who’s always laughing to scare away the sadness,
The boy who taught me the importance of acceptance,
The boy who smells of marshmallows and smoke.
You made me realize that there’s more to life than good grades and church,
All those deep conversations, the uncontrolled laughter, and the love for your friend group,
All these moments are all the reasons I’m so glad we’re friends.

You the girl with the long legs and the monotone clothes,
You, the girl with the elegant figure and the ever changing hair,
The girl who has always been there,
The girl who smells of pine needles and tea,
You who always knows, and is closer to me  than anyone,
All those inside jokes, soul sharing and constant support,
All this love is why I’m still here…

You, the boy with mocha skin and the dark eyes,
You, the boy with the charming personality and intimidating anger,
The boy who I wish I knew better,
The boy who smells like the dark clouds before a rainstorm,
You are unknown to me, but when you smile at me it makes my heart warm with motherly love,
All the kind remarks, humorous glances and small blushes
All of your characteristics make me yearn for a longer conversation.

You, the girl with the blonde curls and bold eyes,
You, the girl with the shared silence and the quiet mouth,
The girl who I rant to, the one who shares my book loving nature
The girl who will squeal over Harry Potter, and talk at the perfect times.
The girl who smells of new books and ocean spray,
You make me regret my too timid nature, make me wish we had started our friendship earlier,
All the random topics, long rants and knowing looks
All of  your endearing quirks are why I hope you never leave

You, the boy with the great style and fun hair,
You, the boy who is so extra and yet still calming,
The boy I can always hug and who always jokes,
The boy who lives in an unknown world of pop culture and makeup,
The one who smells of tree bark and bubbly cologne
You remind me of my brother, bringing with you familiarity and laughter,
All your performances, loud exclamations and soft conversations,
All aspects of you make me glad I got the ***** to make friends

You, the girl with the speckled face and brown eyes,
You, the girl with sass and snark
The girl who was always kind, and is always up for a conversation,
The girl willing to talk about everything and nothing at all
You who smells of softly tread dirt and new life,
All your pretty pictures, moments of comisory, and kind words,
All these things are why you make me smile
I'll probably add on to this later

You’re coming home,
Three days,
Three days and I’ll be pressed against your chest,
No more facetiming across the world,
No more calling at midnight while you pick up at 6am…
Instead of uneasy words,
When I cry you can hold me, you can twirl my hair and rub my back
Like you used to.
When I want to scream you can drive me out to the middle of nowhere and let me,
We can drive again, music blaring, voices singing,
hands out the window and smiles plastered to our faces.
Three days until I get my brother back...

I hate the stretch marks on my thighs,
I hate the way I smile
I hate my chubby tummy and the way my arms flap,
I detest my hands, my odd fingers.
I despise the fat under my chin, the bump on my nose,
And I dislike my broad shoulders

I love my muscle in my calves,
I love my blue eyes, my long eyelashes,
I love my lips,
I like my long caramel hair
I take pride in my curves and indented waist
And I adore my sense of fashion...
Trying hard to like myself more...

Im sorry
I know i’m clingy,
I know you don’t understand the hugs I need when I’m sad,
The embraces I give when I’m happy,
I understand that you simply don’t get this side of me.
This part of me that physically latches onto anyone I cuddle with,
The constant touch and contact I give and take.
I’m sorry I’m desperate and I need you constantly,
I know that you don’t understand how I can be so vain, and yet so self conscious,
The soft parts of me are so molded to be who my friends need,
And yet I can feel so alone.
I’m sorry….

Glittering snow and fall forests
You tilt your head,
Fires rage in silent icy whispers,
I rest, enjoying the pillow your shoulder provides
The leaves dapple everything in reds and golds…
I take a risk, nuzzling into your neck…
Dark clouds bring the promise of a white morn
You lean into me, and I revel in our companionship

People are as flighty and reliable as the weather,
And I always knew it wouldn’t last,
But you left as quickly as the rain, and you’ll never return...
