I didnt plan on writing this.
I wanted to diversify.
You said write from the heart.
Well all that's in there is you.
I used to be hopeless,
terminal,
empty.
Now I'm full
of your love,
of all our moments together,
of the future I see.
You awaken something in me.
A part of me.
The best part.
And its you.

Choose him
Choose them
Paint me a villain
A wolf
**** my butterflies,
Turned to stones,
and kick me
when I'm down
let me drown
in introversion.
Dont worry,
I always break my own heart
anyway.

I said I love you
The silence resounds so loud
I cant hear my heart

To my best friend,
To my idol,
To my mentor,
To my brother,
I forgive you.
Our adolescent cruelty
is in the past.
Your remorse oozes from you,
The room is almost still
but for you
quaking shoulders and tears like mine
sliding down.
And I want you to know,
from the depths of my heart,
that you broke me down
and pushed me
over a ledge.
But the pain and despair I drowned in,
taught me to swim.
An unintended gauntlet,
that was my childhood.
What you did
taught me how not to treat my family
taught me determination
integrity,
honor, and
showed me how hard I was to ****.
So dont cry,
cause I forgive you,
big brother.

A northern boy.
An inky sky.
Green grass and a bench
outside.
"Winter is weird down here."
Lacking snow, and chills to the bone.
Stars and the world, so inviting.
Beckoning of the dark, to be explored,
reveled in,
wraps you like a blanket
as you trace constellations
between celestial horizons.
Still getting used to Georgia.

After so long
I let my heart bleed out
on my sleeve
on my tongue.
And you countered with reason,
left me pale,
as my life blood spilt
and pooled
so deep I drowned.
You flayed my psyche.
Left my intentions bare
for me to see.
Was this love?
I had just grown wings
and you tore them from my flesh
in seconds.
And I fell from a cloud,
back into my shallow grave,
buried in closure.
