I wish you could see yourself through the eyes
Of everyone who loves you.
Maybe then
You’d never doubt yourself again

I have a special relationship with poetry.
She is the friend I can stick in my pocket indefinitely
And when we meet again it’s like I never left.
She’s familiar, and comforting
And reminds me that she is the only thing
I know that I can count on
When everything goes to ****

I was dying of thirst
And the words
I love you
Poured out
From the fountain of your lips
So I greedily consumed them
Like they would be
My salvation.

Help me ease
My troubled soul.

You've got my whole heart
In your hands,
What you do now
Is up to you.

My world is falling apart
And no one seems to care.

You say that you are insignificant.
When compared to the whole
Of the world,
And the universe.
You say you don't matter.
But darling,
To me, you are my world.
You are my universe.

Never trust a wonderer who's too scared to ask why
Never trust a bird who's too afraid to fly.

Take my hand and we will fly away
To a place where everything will be okay.
I'll be your wendy if you be my peter pan,
So hold me tight and take me away to Neverland

Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough
To have you next to me
But for now I'll just have
To keep you in my poetry

in my dreams
i am drowing in a sea of emotion.
my head held just below the surface of the water
and all i have to breathe through is a straw

And it was then,
talking to you,
tears streaming down my face,
that I realized maybe I'm not completely
alone.

I gave you
The whole world,
The sun,
Moon,
Stars.
It wasn't until you left,
And I sat in the sunless days
And the moonless nights,
That I realized you took
Everything
And gave
Nothing.

She looked death
Right in the face,
Smiled and said
"Not today".
The image of him
Draining away
Along with her stash
Of pills.

How many times
must I fall
before I stumble
upon the right one?

My lips still tingle
Whenever I think about
Our kiss.

And in those moments,
However fleeting,
I thought we would make it;
I thought we were infinite

I have a playlist dedicated to us.
It’s called -

All the songs that hold a special place in my heart
But are too dangerous to listen to

No matter what time
No matter what life
I will find you,
And our souls can become
One again.

The wind in her hair
And the sun on her face
She closes her eyes
And dreams of outer space

Don't be afraid
To colour outside of
The lines

How do I get over you
When you're all I can think about?

Pain is a powerful motivator
It motivates me
And my pen
To keep moving forward

I believe
That when you get close to someone
They then own
A part of your heart.
But then
When everyone leaves
There's nothing left of you.

Perfect lips
Speak perfect lies
Painting perfect pictures
Of perfect lives.

We were the perfect couple,
We were like a match.
We burned bright
And strong,
And faded fast.
Nothing but a mere whisper
Of smoke
Left behind.

I need to understand
That just because the timing was perfect for me
Doesn't mean it was perfect for you.
And no matter how hard I pray
There may never be a perfect time
For us.

She was an entire universe
In a single soul
But all he saw
Was a planet

The thing about pain,
is it never goes away,
but with one single tiny pill
you can escape it for a day.

Sometimes I stop and ask myself,
was the poetry worth
the pain
in the end?

As I stand,
Staring out at the edge of forever,
Death approaches
Welcoming me home
With open arms
To a bed of eternal ease
And weightlessness.
All that’s left to do
Is let go

I am forever walking a tightrope
Between feeling nothing
And feeling everything.
I don’t know what’s worse,
Drowning in a sea of endless despair
Or never feeling the rain
Cleanse my soul again.

As the smoke clears
I am left with the perfect image
Of the destruction I caused.
Here the air is heavy,
The weight of my mistakes
occupies all of the space in my lungs.
And tonight,
As I stand alone,
The urge to etch my flaws
Into my skin
Overwhelms me.
It craves the kiss of cold metal.
I am fighting a never ending battle
And my body keeps the score.

Tonight
I stood in front of the mirror
Bottle in hand
The world as blurry as my feelings.
Someone please help me

I never told anyone about us
So for now I'll just hide you away in my poetry

I thought you were my medicine,
Turns out you were my poison.

I wonder if the reason
Stars are so powerful is because
They are made of our atoms,
We feel so many emotions,
All of those emotions in one place
Must cause a lot of power
Or maybe we are powerful because we
Are made of theirs

The same lonely walls
Sterile rooms
And dead eyes

Saw a couple today,
Younger than me,
With promise rings on their fingers.
How truly lucky
Or unfortunate
To find love
At such a young age.

I know the price of this life is steep,
but I have promises to keep.

When the storms rage
Don't be afraid
for I will am here
Until the end of
Our days.

Rain is proof that
Sometimes even the strongest things
Need to let things go.

Come outside with me
and we can stand in the rain
it's truly amazing
how it can wash away the pain.
Now look down at your scars
count them while you do
because they are and will remain as proof
of all the times you made it through.

I truly love the rain
and the dark grey skies
I love to sit and watch the Earth
as it gently cries.
It is cathartic
and artistic
it's peaceful.
it's simplistic.

As we watch the rain hit the ground
you ask me "why does it keep coming down?"
With a sad and dull look in your eyes,
one that reflected the mood of the skies,
and I tell you, "The bigger the clouds grow,
The brighter and more beautiful the rainbow"

Not even a long walk in the rain
Could  wash away the disgusting feeling
Your touch left behind.

I love rainy days.
I feel like it’s the earths way
Of reminding us
That it’s okay to slow down

I wonder how many of us
Would cure our loneliness
And depression,
Heavy nights of silent tears,
If it meant we would never write
A truly heartfelt poem again.

My mom says
"Wear more colour"
If only she knew how red
My hips are
I bet she wouldn't be saying that.
