i don’t even think anymore
that we should talk of love
in i love yous
it seems to me
that love nowadays means
give me
take me
let’s enjoy this happening of having
the way it will please me
please me please

if we want to talk of love
i recommend we should first remember
jesus
who talked of love by his wounds
and blood
On the cross
On us
By suffering our sufferings
And forgiving without hope

I think if we want to talk of love
We should remember that love speech
For example

Alternatively
I can recommend
Speaking about
What is not considered
Acting out
What isn’t
For example

Last first day
Senior year
Same halls, same walls
Same people
We fought, we laughed, we talked
We goofed and joked and cried
We have one thing in common
This is the last year we’ll roam these halls
Last year we’ll eat at the cafeteria
Play sports
Create inside jokes
I’ll miss you guys

I have been blessed
With an amazing friend
Words cannot explain

A broken heart is–

a poet's greatest treasure.

Paint on my fingers
I wash it off
I wish it was that easy
To wash off my scars

I never had to ask you
To be a good friend
I never had to worry
About you saying bad things
I never had to hesitate
Before telling you everything
I needed you to get me
And you did
And you will
Midnight or not
And I felt so at peace
Knowing I was safe while I slept
Hearing your voice
Gentle and caring
At the lake with the breeze
Outside with my cat
The one you kept for me
Thankful
For you
