Who are we?
An ever changing being?
No name, no face.
A figure as soft as a breath
In the morning chill.
Absorbing into nothing,
A phantom in a world of ghosts.
We have a spine,
But it is so easily broken,
That it is useless.
We have a body,
As fragile as glass.
It is pointless.
So I would rather be a breath,
and I would rather be a ghost.
I would rather be a being,
Invincible from the sorrows of man,
What a dream that is!
But we are broken beings,
And we always will be.
Until we become the breath invisible in the air.
Until we no longer know who we are.
Until we absorb into the nothing.

Your heart beats in my chest,
My heart bares your name.
This feeling burning hot inside me,
We can never be the same.
This chemical reaction,
Has left me naked and scared,
But your arms clothe me,
And your kiss repairs.
Every broken part of me,
That I kept hidden away;
Scared if you saw my gnarled insides,
You’d be disgusted by the decay.
Yet you remain, like a vice,
Holding me together.
Keeping me solid and warm,
Through the coldest of weather.
Our souls are now entwined,
And in the quiet I hear you heart.
I know it would break me,
If we were ever ripped apart.
This feeling leaves me trembling,
But you brush away my fears.
With a single look, a single kiss,
You can stop all my tears.
With your heart beating in mine,
And your lips kissing my name,
And my flesh burning against yours,
I know I’ll never be the same.
I just wrote this poem, and I would very much appreciate some peer review and editing. There's still some parts that sounds iffy to me. Compliments and constructive criticism are very much welcome.

I wanna tear my heart open
Tear my chest wide
Expose my beating heart
But for some reason I hide
Maybe it’s the curse of Virgo
That makes me appear so cold
On the outside I am coal-black
But on the inside I’m glittering gold
Until someone cracks me open
I fear I’ll stay inside these walls
I am alone in my fortress
But I wish that I could fall
Into your arms, unafraid
With no doubt that you’ll catch me
But this fear remains, like a cage
And inside fear I can’t be free
So I’ll take a knife to myself
And I’ll keep on trying
And hopefully you’ll want to help
And together we’ll keep prying
Maybe one day the walls will fall
And I’ll stand alone for you to see
I’ll be exposed from inside out
And my emotions will be set free

Softer than moonlight,
Sharper than the sun.
When you hit my skin,
Not with force but...
With this passion,
It stings and I want to cry,
All my tears brought to the surface.
I don’t understand how you do this,
Under the blue light,
Under the bright sky,
In the middle of a snow storm,
Across 10,000 miles,
You turn me inside out,
Exposing the raw,
The ugly,
And there’s nowhere to hide,
From that gaze.
You force me into myself,
Where I can only be,
Everything I hoped.

My solitude,
Is self induced.
It is not your burden,
But mine.
I will carry this on my own.
You’re love is strong,
Darling, so kind, so gentle,
Everything I always said I wanted.
Yet here you are,
Staring at me with eyes,
Blue like the sky and deep as the sea,
And I cannot accept it.
My heart aches to be free,
It’s been held down for so long.
Suppressed by myself and past lovers.
I need this time,
To be alone,
To be free,
To be in my solitude.

Are you a ghost,
have you died?
Because you haunt me in my sleep
I lay down,
I close my eyes,
and there you are just waiting for me
Sometimes we play,
sometimes we fight,
Sometimes I’m sitting there alone
And sometimes
I wake in fright
Because I know it’s all a hoax

There are lights all around,
And yet darkness still prevails.
This artificial sun,
Cannot over power nature.
The ecstasy of that hot star,
Against my freezing skin,
I am nothing without this.
Sun, Fire, Moon,
Water, Earth, Air,
I cannot live without them,
They can **** me without care.
I want, I need, consuming.
Material things are an illusion,
Distracting us from the truth.
We do not know what is real,
Because we do not know what isn’t.
This world captures my interest,
But I cannot stay here long.
