Poems and words and writings on my walls.
Sayings and songs that to some mean nothing at all.
But to me, they are each a punch in the gut.
A soothing calm to the burns of life.
They are my thoughts and feelings, my fears and desires.
They are me

grace
her
you were my sun
the center of my universe
but i was not yours

you had different stars in your galaxy
a whole world that was completely foreign to me

see the name
that slipped past your lips
while our limbs were tangled together
was not mine

it was then that i realized
you wanted me to be her

but the thing is
i am not her
& i will never be her

Kaye I
she's a song
you'll never hear
because you never listened.

Everyone is born with a lock on their heart and a key in their hand. But my lock was broken. No one could fit their key in, for my lock had been damaged as a little girl and the key I was given had been misshapen. Until you came along, your own key and lock had been broken many times as a child and somehow the exact dent that had made it impossible for you to find a fit had slipped perfectly between my ******* and clicked. Unlocking something I never thought would unlock. And my key, a key that had only been used once before without success fit inside your lock with a click as well. Each lock opening to show emotions we had kept so tightly closed. And as I looked into your eyes, each other's hearts open on display, I realized that maybe our "damaged goods" are only damaged to the wrong people. Because for each other we were the exact fit we needed.

After being cold for so long, I'm not sure how to handle your heat

In you, I found my forever

Life is constructed of what ifs, maybes and somedays. But somehow I stopped looking at those when I was with you. Instead I saw the wills, and cans and future. I saw a world of possibilities instead of a world of regrets
