Hold me close
Hold me near
I will always be here
Hold me
Love me
And I will save you from the dark
Fear not my light
For you, I will fight
For you, I would die

There were once dreams
Such sweet dreams.
A fantasy designed
To guide through
The endless fog.

‘Twas but a ruse
To escape the sorrow
That life can bring
The evanescent freedom
The facade of the mind

Gone were the chattels
The bleak tendrils of serendipity
Cascading on the shores
Of unforgiving night

A fortunate flower into life
Gifted with wealth
A filthy cheat
To the tangled woods
Of agony

A false tale is spun
A beautiful lie
Destroying the very fibers
Tearing the soul from
The weakness of the heart

I'm drunk on your lips
Addicted to your passion
Hopelessly wasted

Break Me

The Light is gone
The flowers- decayed
Words are wasted between us
And I should have drowned
In the ocean of my mind
And I should have died
When you came for my mind
I hope You hate me now
You tried to break me down
Into a puppet for your control
You- a worthless mole
But know,
I'm so much more than meets the eye
I was the one you could always trust
Though wounds are ways to destroy us
Yeah, I could have tried and devoted my life to saving yours
What a waste of my time
I knew you didn't care
So hate me now
It makes you feel right
I'm happy now
You couldn't take my light
And know,
I'm so much more
Than meets the eye

Falling in love with you
I imagine...
was a lot like being born

that is to say
it was like I wasn’t
and then suddenly I was

as if before you I didn’t even exist
as if life didn’t begin until I saw you

that the sting of my first breath
didn’t happen until you breathed
love into my lungs

then suddenly I became
painfully aware of just
how beautiful life could be

Me
A whole lot of
feroucious stories
terrible happenings
far and close
to me

take
my
air.

A whole bunch of
things and creatures
I find beautiful
I love
I see fit to make it all worthwhile.

The balance, the balance

Please put
another scoop
on the bright side

Or tell me
about Yours.
Do you know that feeling? I feel a bit helpless, scared of growing up in this world, of accepting the terrible things and bad things and what people do and have done, always. I am scared. I love life, I love my friends, I love tiny things. But sometimes everything in my head thinks very fast, and then dark thing become too heavy or seem too close even though they don't even affect me personally. I love this community here, the possibility to connect, get to know each other's poetry and show my own very personal writes. It is supportive; and I wish I could trust a little more in our world and that everything will be alright. Even very good, maybe!
Love.
