It takes two
If you are lucky
A Lifetime
Remember ignorance is not bliss in this situation
Patience,kindness and say I Love You
No longer the time
No matter what others say
You should know in every cell in your body
Nice to hear
Better to share
As you jump the hurdles
This is your one and only
You put your heart and soul into this patnership
Loving them better

Laugh in the dark at your own clever spin,
turning meaning to mischief with a smirk and a grin?
Are your nights stitched in velvet, your mind wide-awake,
with your dog at your feet and the silence you make?

Veil your affection in jest and disguise,
saying darling or love just to watch my reply?
Ever wonder, like me, if your teasing might stay
longer than you meant it to linger that way?

Lace on your wrist smells like citrus and rain,
is your scent a soft story you haven't explained?
Are your plushies arranged like an audience unseen,
watching matcha-steeped mornings unfold like a scene?

Vanish mid-text to float in your head,
do your thoughts wander far before coming to bed?
Even now, I don't ask for more than you give,
just to wonder like this is a sweet way to live.
Shady businesses
Like the umbrella salesman
Cover their assets
My garden grows only beetroot,
They're all shaped like little hearts.
All got stolen by someone cute,
Outmanoeuvred all the guards.

But it is fine, she can keep them,
She can take all the heartbeet.
Her smile is like a little gem,
Just for her does my heart beat!
You speak with me like I’m a lost cause
Your words cut deep like guttural claws
I show that I’m mad, but I secretly plead
For you to for once believe in me

You assume I’ll give up before I begin
Because of past stories of how I have been
I know I’ve before overwatered new seeds
But for once can you please believe in me

You keep speaking of me like I’m a stain
You make me a joke to cover your shame  
I know you’re embarrassed because of me
You hate that I hurt the way you’re perceived

You assume I’ll soon throw in the towel
Like other past projects that ended foul
But of course I lowered my new dreams sails
When you only thought that I would fail

It feels like a wound being rubbed with salt
When you say the way that I am is my fault
I shout my harsh words, they secretly plead
For you to just once believe in me

To me you have successfully taught
That I’m a stain, a fault, a lazy lost cause
When I look in the mirror, that’s all I see
Since that’s all you ever made me believe
#assumptions #fail #selfworth
Maybe as time goes by,
And heals these wounds,
As we change and morph into different versions of ourselves -
Maybe then, the time will be right.
Or maybe, the time will never be right
And all we’ll have are the moments passed.
I’ll miss you forever,
With an aching heart that will never forget you.
Love's just the lightening in a bottle.
The wonderful electricity that powers our beating hearts.

Life could be so wonderful, if you'd quit breaking my circuit.

I used to knock
She would answer
All around the clock
She never asked
Why I was so late
And with a smile
Opened the gate

Always had space
For the quiet ache
I couldn't erase
We talked for hours
Went for walks at the lake

I wore out
The welcome in
Now I doubt
If i should knock
And if I do
The once open door
Stays locked
Too good to be true
Too true to be good
That second one requiers an unfortunate life to be understood

Say what you mean
Mean what you say
I don't see the difference between these statements to this day

Love and loss
Never loved at all
One being better than the other is not anyone's place to call

Keep your chin up
With a glass jaw
Even advice with the best intentions can leave you broken and raw
