In your hands

Hold me close
Hold me tight
Kiss me once more
To say goodnight

I am here for now
I won't always be
So kiss me once more
Cause you love me

For You
Contemplate suicide
Yet worry about death
The man I was
Died a long time ago
The man I am
Will die soon
And the man I'll become
Will die eventually
This may sound depressing
But when you realize
I'm becoming somebody
I never thought I would be
Just for her
And to eventually lay to rest
With her
You realize it's the most beautiful
Love story ever told.

You can consider me
Your favorite
Disciple
I would follow you
Until my
Death

With that said
Take my hand and I will
Dedicate
Myself to you
And even when I turn to
Dust
You will find me
Waiting

Peace
You laying
In the cabin's window seat
Reading one of my
Favorite books
The sun
Reflecting off your hair
We are existing
Together
At peace with life
Concerned with nothing
And for right now
As much as I
Want to continue to describe this
I want more to get lost
In this moment
Forever.

Being remembered
Forever
Sounds like like a tall
Task
That I'm not up for
Nope
I just want to be
Forgiven
For all that I've
Caused
You are so
Cute
Cuddlaeble
Captivating
Clever
Compassionate
Considerate
C­reative
Confident
Classy
Consistent
Calm
I Could go on

Last Laugh
I love everything
About not having social media
I worry less
Don't waste my time
Yet
The biggest drawback
Is I can't rub in your face
How happy I am
With someone else

Sitting here
In a hotel
In Albuquerque
In Awe
Of how we got here
It really is just
A series of chances
Events that dictate
Outcomes
As you sleep
I Am granted
The time to realize
I like this outcome
So far.

It only seems fitting
That the first poem of this series
Was one of heartbreak
And that the last poem
Be one of happiness and hope

So here's to you
For taking a chance
On a hopeless romantic
Here's to the journey
We are embarking on
And here's to whatever happens
Along the way.

Its the way
You turn and look
Straight into my soul
The way you caress
The steering wheel
Like its my face
The way the sun
Seems to radiate
Off of you
And you ask me
"Why are you smiling
Like an idiot?"

And pretend

Its not in my control
No.
You took everything
Gave it all to someone new
No.
You did what you had to
I can't be bitter

That while hell
Is cruel and horrific
It was this world
That made me
As dysfunctional

Knowing if I can't
I'll float to a place

Not like you care anyways

Had to sell my soul
Just to make it out
I lived in your hell
Changed and yet I still drink
From the poisoned well

To Whom It May Concern,

This soul has found
No rest
These eyes have seen
Horrors beyond belief
These hands are covered
In blood that is not theirs
These legs won't hold
For much longer
Please be there
I'm counting on you.

Sincerely,
Me

Wrapped around my throat

Lost in your eyes
Akin to standing
In a field of wheat
The curves in your face
Reminds me of something like
Venus de Milo
I focus so desperately
On things like that
And everytime I reminisce
I get lost just to
Lose a little bit more

To me
You were an ideation
A daydream
Then you became reality
A blissful presence
Then you became a story
One I hate to tell
And now
You pride yourself
On thinking you're even a memory

Cry tears no one cares about
Wonder where it all fell apart
Pop pills till the stars come down
