My parched heart yearns for a droplet of love
Some sort of affection.. something that would change my life
They say you’ll know it when it happens, that it’s all in the hands of the above
Though these tempting kisses and touches have marked my soul
Tricked me into false emotion, I’ll never let up on my goal
My eyes, now blinded by the aspect of forever love, don’t light up with hope and courage anymore.
This one feeling is so strong, too strong
It has stripped everything of their value, love remaining in the spotlight.
Like a drug I’ve never even tried
Has kept me in a bind
I’ve gone crazy, not being able to bear the thought of living without it any longer
So I’ll push through the decaying desert, no matter the cost
A journey to grab the hand of Aphrodite herself and beg for her sweet tears of love to quench me of my thirst, to cure me of my despondency.
And should I fail, my final note will entail
The miserable, despicable, lonely life
That I’ll have ended with a heavy heart.
It was not Aphrodite’s tears that came, but my own. Me, a victim of my own game, lost to the constant state of the world
But it all ends with a happy ending
As it shows the true love for myself, and I
My one true partner, with whom I died
To arrange the wedding in the sky..

Ive tried many times, to describe the messages I want to make,
The lessons I yearn to teach.
Often using, “feeling, pain, suffering”
Sadly none of these
Hold a candle to everything I want to say
so from now on
I will try my best
To speak in writing,
To act it out in words
Only releasing these poems to the world
Once they describe the indescribable.
Then, finally, I’ll feel heard.

"Could you sweep me off my feet, and carry me, comfort me, ask me about my worries..?"
Is what I want to say sometimes,
but I'd settle for just sweeping me off my feet, and comforting me
I'd even be fine if I could be twirled around.
Or if you just gave me a hug,
or.. if you wanted to you could hold me?
For 2 seconds?
rub my back?
Do anything

At all       ,           and I'll be happy.

Walking along the shore
Feeling sore from emotions indescribable
Forced to live, silently suffering.
The only outlet being the salty deep reflecting the perfect sun
With all my strength, with all the anger of everything ever felt
I yell out to the open waters
Sobbing, breaking down in the rough sand.
It’s almost as if it speaks to me, in the form of crashing waves,
as if it feels sympathy
The only sympathy,
My heart is so messed up I don’t even know if it's deserved by me
But it’s either releasing everything on the quiet seabed
Or facing my real problems
Which are too much for any sane mind to take;
That is if I’m still sane
After all, I’m screaming at the ocean,
And it’s funny to think I expected a response..

Life, could you squeeze me any tighter?

Could you steal more of one’s own keep?

In honesty I’m just tired

For this marvelous, giving, horrendous, creature

Love is all I feel

Yet, seconds later evil is at work

And that love, again, expires.

A skipping stone leaps in my heart, but the surprise never fails

It neglects to sink peacefully in the lake

but gets crushed by an incoming whale

This marvelous, giving, horrendous creature.

Sometimes,
We struggle to stay above the water,
Swimming with all our strength
When the soft, sandy floor
Is just one foot under us
Waiting
To comfort, and support
So we don’t drown in our own fear.

I wish for the earth
To stop spinning
so everyone around
can see the messes they've made
And the damage they've done
Oh, why can't they realize
Before it's past the due date
Of the world

To complete a step forward
Might be intimidating
Especially if others have taken hundreds of them
The struggle of “should I?” Can make anyone feel alone
But just that one step forward, alone,
Can make anyone stand up and yell
“I did it!”
