my mind said
you write when you are bothered
you write when you feel pained
you write when people fail you
so you write all the time
whether it's in the morning or dawn
whether it's in the night or in darkness
you write to silence your feelings
believing it's the only way to remain sane
even though you are not wrong
you write to be the best version of sane
as though the world keeps you trapped and your words keep you save
as though the earthly forces want you pinned and your stanzas keep you afloat

Our lover has our hearts
and we theirs

You can hear love on the wind
in stillness

if love has your heart
love has your song

and your song is of love
as love has your heart

the issues we dance with
time after time
the taking of chances
we oft do in life
it's not about you
it's more i, me, mine
if you must know the truth
it's love in decline

different as day
dark as the night
giving so much away
in hopes that we might
secure for ourselves
our own selfish desires
when over time we find
love in decline

with fists raised in anger
we fuss and we fight
not seeing the danger
in the warning signs
you can ask for it all
then hold it all tight
but still we'll all fall
with love in decline

You deserve to win
the Nobel Peace Prize
for bringing peace to this heart.
It has known nothing
but war and disarray
for far too long.
Thank you.

An idiot is harmless,
Until that idiot falls in love,
Then they’re willing to do anything,
For the person they’re in awe of.

Whether its building a new world,
Or burning the old one down,
They’ll stop at nothing,
To give their love a crown.

Now if that love fades,
And they are left weeping,
They could take one of two paths,
Both will leave an empty heart unsleeping.

Path one is war and rampage,
Destroy everything in their way,
Path two is depression and tears,
They may cause their own doomsday.

Either way an idiot is harmless,
Until that idiot falls in love,
And if you happen to cross that idiot,
Beware for they do not care, they are deprived of---------
i might be an idiot in love.

In maths: an equation
In chemistry: a reaction
In history: a war
In geography: a place
In life: everything

when a heart broken
lover
pours out all
her feelings and
translates them onto
words. something
beautiful gets created.
appreciated by many but
never the one
she's always written her
heart out for.
