I promised you forever,
and forever it will be.
Because even through the worst nights,
you were there for me.

Even though there are millions of miles,
pulling us apart.
I promised you forever,
and you still have my heart.
If you see this, I still mean it. And I always will <3
Her eyes, like pools of jade so deep,  
A sirens call, both soft and deep.
They pierce the soul with gentle flame,
And stir the heart to wild acclaim.

A murmur floats upon the breeze,
The rustling hymn of shadowed trees.
Yet in her gaze, the tides arise,
Of love, of loss, of fleeting skies.

A sign within the hearts of all,
Her gaze, a promise sure to fall.
Luring them into an abyss of hope,
Where yearning blooms, yet none may cope.

Her eyes- a beacon, pale and bright,
That guides them deeper into night.
A love they chase, yet cannot claim.
A dream that flickers, still the same.
First poem let me know what you think
Why does this torment return once more,
A love unreturned, a wound I bore?
I fall once more into your jade-green eyes,
Twin gleaming worlds where my spirit flies.

They shimmer like dew in the dawn’s embrace,
A haunting glow, a celestial grace.
It pins me down with relentless chain,
A guard let down brings back the pain.

My mind, so swift to weave its snare,
Fills the void with love’s despair.
Caught in a cycle, I cannot depart,
Unrequited, it breaks the heart.
We were two pieces of sandalwood,
Two beams that would become
(With holes, and glue, and dowel rods)
Gently hammered into one.

We were two pieces rough for shape;
A square would make us wright,
And after we were sanded smooth,
We’d be oiled clear and bright.

We were two pieces meant to be
The blueprints of the heart:
A bed, a cradle, and a box,
Till death has done us part.

But when the clamps were wound in place,
And the boards did snuggly press,
We found the fatal flaw too late,
And broke beneath our stress.
She said:
“I’m too tired to help.
I’m too tired to stay
In this room where you weep,
So please, just go away.”

“Find someone else to console,
The aching heart you display;
I’m too drained to help,
So please, just go away.”

“Ok, fine,” I reply.
“I’ll leave your room and let you rest.”
“I’ll let you lie here,” I sigh
“I’ll cry alone, a broken mess.”

She said to me, “I need your help
I’m sad and lonely here, so please
I know how broken you have felt,
But just forget that and help me.

I say, “No. I’m too tired to help.
I’m too tired to stay
In this room where you weep,
So turn around and go away.”

Maybe before, if you were there
If you had held me in your arms
I would soothe your pain, would care
About this thing causing you harm

But you made me too tired to help,
Made me too tired to stay
In this room where you weep,
So take your tears— and go away.
