I never believed in love,
but you changed that

every time you talked,
it was me you talked about

you made me your world,
yours to be

your words,
were my weakness

you made me love who I was
made me realize
your everything I wanted
someone showed me what love actually feels
how safe and healthy it is

I see you looking at her
I wish you were looking like this at me
The ring is on my finger
But I feel like it shouldn’t be here

Her eyes like water, blinded your eyes
Have you forgotten our youthful time?
Standing in front of her, but on the side
In her eyes I see not emerald
But your greyish sight

I texted you
When I felt so alone
And so scared
And so ready to disappear
You pulled me in to reality
Or out of my terrible one
And gave a good reason to live

I now knew that one person loved me

You hug me so much
And tell me you love me
And you kiss my cheek
And you run and smile when you see me
And I don't think you know
How wonderful that makes me feel

I knew that someone's experience is better when I'm there

You saw my monsters
And you noticed my face
And you noticed my hand picking at the thing touching my face
You heard my silent scream
And you told me everything was okay

I now knew that my screams could be heard if the right person listened

I cry as I write this,
I love you
I'm grateful
Thank you
I want to make a series of poems for my loved ones who may never see them. This one is for a newer friend who's also named Liana. I love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

i said, "i don't want
to let you go." and then you
pulled me in closer

it's easy to say time heals all wounds,
when every barren branch blooms again in spring,
when every new chick is taken under a safe wing.

but time is yet to wake me from my eternal winter sleep.

i still lay, unmoving, in my barren keep.

even bears leave me behind,
a permanent fixture in their den,
"maybe time will wake him next spring,"
they say, now and then.

the forest whispers above my head,
calling to the last absentee,
but i am no tree,
and spring does not speak to me.
of eternal winters spent observing life around me

A kiss is the beginning of cannibalism, and I want to devour you whole.
to steal your breath and combine it with mine, so I can live and breathe you.
I am your oxygen, and you, my fire. So consume me... I'm yours.
