All my life I have been a burden,
my mind can not comprehend the thought of someone loving me and my heart is familiar to loving but unfamiliar to someone loving me back.

My mother has been an amazing provider but has continued to be a terrible communicator and an even worse emotional support but not a day in my life did she let me go hungry.
This poem comes at a time where alot of things in my life just aren't making sense romantically my life is falling apart and it stems from an emotional disconnect.

When they say love is blind
it is not a euphenism to justify your lover
being aesthetically displeasing.
Most of us dont fall in love with ogre's
who rescue us from barren castles.
What they mean to tell you is that
Prince Charming is who will take away your sight.
Love is synonymous with being blind.

Too caught up in his dreamy eyes
to ever break your gaze.
His lushes hair weaves perfectly in
between your fingers as you tug on it.
You will close your eyes and allow his lips ravish yours.

Closed your eyes shall remain as the bright crimson cloth waves in the wind,
you will mistake the sound for your heart beating faster.

The taste of his lips will linger only for a brief moment on your tongue,
sweet,
don't be fooled by this taste,
ethylene glycol is a sweet poison.
I know it has been a while since I had posted anything but live has been rather busy lately and it took some time to find inspiration to write again

Dry.
Parched.
Thisty.
Sand.

Hallucination?
Oasis?
Mirage?
Paradi­se?

My
tongue
yearns
for
a
drop
of
life.

I will not move mountains for you I will make mountains crumble in your name

For you the ocean will not part you shall speak and it shall evaporate leaving only salt behind

For you the moon and the stars would be too obsolete of a gift to give I will give you which ever milky way you deem fit

You will never starve of my love I will give it to you in abundance all I ask for in return is for you to love me unconditionally

Wanting me is wanting
both my good and my bad.

Wanting me is wanting
my body and my mind.

Wanting me is wanting
my happy and my bi-polar.

Not wanting me is decideding
which parts of me I come with.

Dont try to analyze me you will see way too much meaning in something as simple as I am.
I am not a trick question
I am exactly what I appear to be.
My moods might shift in accordance with the weather but I will treat you the same no matter how dark the clouds are
I will accept what you give me without question what you give me is your perception of my worth not my own.
I will follow your lead and treat you the way you treat me I hope your okay with me pulling a you on you.
I am a simple question but my worth will confuse you simple questions never count this much in a test,
don't fail me.

So many of you are toxic Christians but don't know it because you pray so much you forget to open your eyes and look at the real world
