Someday you would realise
How beautiful you are through my eyes,
And how slowly your smile
Makes my heart to crystallize.

It's the love that I can give
It's you with whom I want to live,
So tender so true,
A love that I have found only in you.
Love you!
Maybe you know it
Or maybe not
Maybe you have noticed me
Or maybe not.

But I really Don't blame you
For not recognising my love for you
But I wish someday
You would know it better than I do.
Say it at the perfect time!

The air just felt crisp enough
For me to put on that shirt you left me
And when I did
*I swear it got chillier
Or maybe I got the chills

Break down the mirror, and break me down
brains in my hair and teeth at my wrists,
she said fourteen caps of alprazolam gave her all she needed
she needs a new world, a new earth, a new ruler, that's what she needed-
I told you it wasn't meant to be this way, i was meant to be the prettiest
but girls with thickened veins and thickened wrists are destined for the bridge edge
My silver smiler body double told me to cut out the poison in my veins
and guess what I did it I did it I did it again
tell them your name, dysmorphia, tell them all what you think of me -
start the car and run me over, honey.
My poetry style is 1) ***** on a word document 2) Upload. Not good. I have yet again failed in not mentioning wrists in a poem...****.
I would go through the hurt again
if it meant having you back in my life
I would still believe your beautiful words
even after I have learnt that none of them were true
I would still smile at how perfectly  you constructed them
well aware that the joy was just a thing of the moment
because that short spell of joy was like an eternity to my soul.

I would use the same road whence our
encounter happened,
I would... I would still ask you out
without a single doubt


I would, not because I enjoy pain
not because I pleasure in my despondence
not because I prefer the past to the future
No,
It's because you lit a flame in me
that even after you extinguished our passion
still shines bright... you made me believe in myself
you gave me a friend and made me feel safe
you gave me a whole new dimension
to live my life, the only downside being
you are not here to share in the glory
of my self-discovery.
guns don't ****

people do

guns gather dust in the corner
of a peaceful
person's
home

that thing called
the second
amendment

it is a man's  right

to protect himself
against
the
tyranny
of governments
criminals
and
terrorists

those who would
take
away
your freedom
and
your life

the criminals
the terrorists
the governments

will
always
always
always

find a way
find a way
find a way

to get a gun
to get a gun
to get agun

to control you
to control you
to control you

and
strip  strip strip
you  you you
of
your your your
freedom freedom freedom

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to steal from you
to
take
your
life
and the lives of  the children...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you take
all
the
guns
away
from
peaceful
law-abiding
citizens

then

only
only
only

criminals
c­riminals
criminals

terrorists
terrorists
terrorists

and

tyrann­ical governments
tyrannical governments
tyrannical governments

will have them


then

how will
how will
how will

the peace lover

protect
protect
protect

himself

or you?

protect

his freedom

and yours?

the killing

will

never stop...

gun control

will never stop

the dying

as long as we have

human nature

we need

the kingdom of God

as long as

man

makes all the rules

he will call

all the shots

all the shots

all the shots

all the shots

all the shots

all the shots

.............

case in point...chicago is synonomous these days with "gun control".  there are 50 more shooting victims year to date than all of 2015
when i was a child
i knew one thing for certain
adults don't listen

I wish to
reside in the
space between your
heart and your
loneliness so that
the two may
never meet again

sparkling white in an arc
i love your smile
