Maybe one day you will understand
The angst that fills my heart
When I wake up and there's no one there  

At that moment, I realize I am alone
My eyes adjust to the darkness
They fleet to the blue Christmas lights
That remind me of your eyes
Beautiful
Bright
Filled with happiness
Your smile,
The way it curves perfectly on your face
Your stupid adorable face.
Your ***** blonde hair that smells like shampoo
Your cologne that makes me weak
The scent of your skin
The sparkle in your eyes when you see me
The shape of your lips
The whiteness of your perfect teeth
The sculpted collar bones and shoulders
My red lipstick kiss marks that fill your neck and cheek
The way my body fits against yours is just right
The appreciation and love you have for me when I cook for you
The look right before a passionate kiss
The blushed, big cheeks that rise with every smile
The little white spot at the bottom of your bottom lip, just in the middle
The way you rub my arm so gently because you know it helps me sleep
The way you hold me when you know I'm having a bad dream

Waking up to you is the best way to start my day.

Please be here in the morning,
I miss you so much.
Please.

Sometimes the monsters that we see in our lives aren't necessarily ugly, gory, nor ******

They could have the most sincere-looking smiles;
Flowing, golden locks;
Bold eyes that almost sparkle they speak about something they're passionate about;
Maybe their teeth are so white and straight that anyone would feel insecure about their own;
Maybe their hobbies and talents are similar to yours, and you think that there's no other person out there who could be better of a friend than them, who also remembers all the lyrics of that Red Hot Chili Peppers song;
They could have cute freckles on their nose, or scars that just make them look that much more awesome to you;
Or maybe this person was a huge part of your childhood, and you think they could never abandon you;
They could seem like a good person because they volunteer, go to Church, or participate in organizations;
Perhaps they're close with your other friends, and there's no way they would pick someone mean to join your group;


They could look similarly to any other person in your life,
But they have a vile heart;
They only became close with you to know all your problems, secrets, goals and dreams, and to crush you from the inside out;
They could pretend to be friends with you, only to benefit from it themselves;
They'll ask you nicely, then rip you apart;
They'll get close with your parents: "Hi Mrs. Ferne, you look lovely today!" And will make your parents wish they were you;
They could talk behind your back, and wish for the moment of your downfall to come as quick as possible;
They could pick at your insecurities and make you feel bad about yourself, then end it with a "I'm just kidding!"

Monsters aren't just in movies;
Even the devil was a beautiful angel once.
