I use to dream of us
Because it was all so possible
All you had to do is notice me
Because then we would fall in love

We could have our first date
Our first kiss
I planned our wedding
Every detail
From the colour of my suit
To match your eyes
To the colour of the napkins
Light blue
Same as your eyes

I dreamt about you at the beach
Your blond hair moving with the wind
Your face as you looked out at the ocean
The face of curiosity
The way your eyes brows move closer
When you wonder
I dreamt about you at home
Laying in the couch watching TV
Your smile shining bright as you laugh
Your in your comfy clothes that only I see
I dreamt about going on date
Your eyes filled with worry
The blue like liquid topaz

Your eyes are my favourite colour
Blue
The only time I’ve ever seen anything like them
was the sky in Australia
When there were no clouds
Not one and the sun was behind me
Just blue sky for miles
the perfect blue
I laid down and stared
Wishing for things untold
Making me feel loved

If only you had noticed me
If only I have said something
Then he was gone
He didn’t even know
He left his biggest love
Dreaming of what would of been

when i was 7 i cracked my head open with glass
and blood covered my head
i didn't go to the hospital
i didn't even tell anyone

i never saw the glass really coming
it happened in just a split second
i hardly even felt it
it stung
but i was too worried about the glass
and how i was going to clean it
before my parents came home
my mom always liked to keep her house clean
so i had to pick it up

when i was 13
my best friend had her first heartbreak
i was doing homework
because i was so behind
but she called me crying
and asked if she could come over
i held her for two hours
while she sobbed into my sweatshirt
and when she left
i didn't even get a thank you

i try so hard to make everyone feel content and happy
then sit in my room
and wonder why i'm so sad
but it's because
all i do is bleed for people
and they never even hand me a bandaid

I know you won't love me for long
when the day comes
I'll be ready for when
you **** me

Its so fortunate to have that 'someone'. Isn't it.? I mean, that someone who becomes the glimmer to your sparkle and the star to your dark.
I mean, that someone who calls you without asking and tells you stuff, no matter if it's during the scorch of 2pm or during the scar of 3am.
I mean, someone you can tease, troll and still get a 'I love you too' back.
I mean, 'someone' who is yours, and only yours.
I wish I had a best friend. I really really really wish so.
So, to all those who have,
you guys don't know how lucky you are.
We never really appreciate whatever we already have. Ask those who doesn't, and then you'll know the difference.

We are the ones who are hard to understand
We'll be the last ones in the movie theatre
because the ending scene made us cry
We'll stop to smell the roses
because they deserve to be appreciated
We are the ones who will take the time
to learn what keeps you up at night
We are the ones who will imagine
an entire future of adventures
with the people who show us love

We are the ones who will love you more
than we love ourselves
We will give you our strongest parts
in hopes that we can make things better
We desire to see you become the best you
to make sure that you always feel our love
We crave affection and appreciation
We give a piece of ourselves away every day
sometimes to people who don't deserve it
Our love is easy to take advantage of
and sometimes we don't get back
the love that we give away

When we hurt, we crumble and fall apart
We constantly have to put ourselves back together
We are more fragile than we like to give off
We carry our emotions on our sleeves
Our flaws have the ability to consume us
We aren't afraid to give you the world
but we are afraid to feel unloved
We want you to see what we see
We want you to understand where we're coming from

We are good people with good intentions
We are stronger than we believe
Not everyone can feel the way we feel
We feel too much, too often
We are not hard to love
We are something not everyone knows how to love
But you need to remember that
your worth does not change just because
no one is there to appreciate you, to remind you

You are not any less lovable
You are the most lovable person in the world
You are a light that the world needs
Your kindness is not your weakness
You do not need to change for anyone's acceptance
You do not need to stop giving love
just because you don't get any back
Your heart is the best thing about you

And one day when you least expect it
someone will notice you from across the room
and know exactly how to love you
They will think all of these things are beautiful
They will deserve the love you can give
They will fill the empty space in your heart
But for now, don't stop feeling
We are the ones who feel everything so deeply
We are the ones who can't give up because
We are the ones who will teach the world
how to love
We are exactly who we are supposed to be

please be naked

“please be naked”

she stands in her doorway wearing just a gown,
I walk in the house, dumbstruck by beauty,
up in her room undoing the bow, the shield simply slides down
caressing her curves, stroking down to the floor,
intertwined bodies craving the touch of the other,
joined as one in the gentle acts of love and lust,
romanticised ideals of perfection and soft rhythm,
delicate groans as two become one,
the broken poet, for the moment, is gone,
my drug addiction of you, just wanting more,
As my heart bleeds, love begins to pour.

“please be naked”.
this poem is influenced by The 1975 instrumental song "please be naked". i regularly think of this song as romanticising the act of *** and the trust required with it rather than what most songs make it today. despite having no lyrics the song speaks volumes to me and id definitely recommend it to anyone. stay safe and live well.

Some would have
You to believe that
     Love is blind

Love isn’t blind
       At all
Love sees every
        Color
Love does not require
Sameness to love
          
Love sees every shade
And every relishes
        In each one

Love seeks to understand
And give freedom of
    Expression to every
      Brilliant color

     Love has perfect
             Vision
That sees and celebrate
          Every color

           Like love
         I see color
       And it is indeed
             Beautiful
            
      Love in color
              It’ll
     Change your life

— The End —
