Under these stars

I lay by your side

Love is a metaphor.

Love is being able to understand, care, and give

unconditionally

I hold your hand in mine,

My heart would give its entirety to you

Love is a home and a safe place

To me you are perfect

I smile whenever I'm near you

Love is sacrifice.

Love is loyal.

Love is patient.

Love is strong.

With my entire heart,

I love you.

On Instagram I took people's perspectives on love and turned it into a poem.

The destruction of this family has
since been long overdue

The clock has stopped moving since
six o'clock

The grandmother died of illness
The father ran away with a *****

The mother collapsed from overworking herself
The child left untended for too long

Why this happened no one knows
Since six o'clock they all left away

Abandoned,
forgotten,
dead.

The clock stopped at six o'clock,
it was long overdue.

I'm left to wander the night alone
Cloaked in darkness with my hands reaching
for a glimpse of hope

I feel nothing except for the robes of death
wrapping their arms around me in the cold

Quickly I call your name yet you do not hear
You are not here

You are there in a land of color
Vivid and full laughter with your mind
distracted on beautiful things

You forget the goddess you swore to protect now comforted by death's hold because
of your betrayal

Empty home

White sheets over furniture

Stains on carpets with

Cobwebs in corners

//

Echoes of a life

Happy and loving

Now ridden and gone

Only memories lie here

//

Your smile and laughter

Now shadows and pain

This was once a home

But I linger no more

I watched her in the gallows,

Her fever rising by death's clock

Her smile explicit yet warm

I could see the pain in her eyes

Glossy and red with age

I held her wavering hand

Her candle exhuasted

Goodnight little moths,

flying home to the moon

When the sun sets,

I welcome the stars

Little fireflies dance,

my heart intertwine with yours

The crickets chirp softly,

Our hips sway with the song

As dawn sets and night fades away,

Our lips touch one last time

Goodnight to the love of my life,

You are my night and sky

In the end I'm slowly dying,

This painful toxin stealing my strength

You hold my hand and say,

"You are not alone"

and I feel right.

In this nightmare I wait for you

For the love and courage you give me

I won't go until your hand is in mine

Together you make me strong

Together I make you brave
