Do you hear how loud it gets when the silence devours the sound?
How lonely you really are... even when there’s everyone imaginable around?
How weak you become when you fight against yourself.
How you're your own best friend, and enemy, but still, you want to be someone else.
The poisonous love your demons give you, somehow brings you life.
They tell you that you have deeper wounds than those birthed by the sharpest knife.
Continuous never-ending decisions that trap you in a cycle of regret.
You say you like the dark, but you just haven’t seen the light yet.
You tell the shadows that you’ll do better, when you promised yourself that you won’t.
You say that you’re the only one that understands yourself, when you know **** well, you don't.
You like the way you bite love.
Maybe you like the way love bites.
You like the pressure, the pain, the game, the way it excites.
Crying is a way for you to be happy.
Living is how you die.
Balance is the key to destruction.
The truth is just a lie.
Blow out the candle and look into the mirror
That’s the only way to see her.
She’s not afraid of you.
She’s afraid of reality, and what you’ll see in her.
She sees you when there’s no one.
You see her when there’s everyone.
But every time you approach her, you realize gratefully...
that there’s no one.
That is... except you.

Your warmth
My habitual coldness
Skin to skin
Fast heartbeats
Unsatisfied hands
Soft kisses
But now passionately racing
Delicate touches
But now desirous grabs
Our bodies pressed together
Your hands... tangled in my hair
My hands... wrapped around the curves of your shape
The very shape you don’t know is perfect
You use harsh eyes to critique the beauty
You roll your eyes when I acknowledge your physical art
It’s okay, you don’t know yet
You haven’t stepped outside to see the heavenly grace
You can’t see how you make sunsets jealous
Or how you cause the waves of the ocean to quiver next to you
But that’s why i’m here.
To love you, to tell you that and to help you understand why.
So, I love you
I love this.
Me and you.
You and me.
Us.
It just makes sense in this world of chaos.
You save me from myself
You make my thoughts harmless
You give me a reason to smile in my nightmares
You’re why I’m becoming less afraid
And more confident...
In love
In life
In me
Thank you

Share your secrets with me
And I'd keep them from the world

Dream your dreams with me
So that I could catch you if you fall

Tell me your fears
And I’ll be your armor

Whisper your deepest, darkest thoughts
And I’ll save you from yourself

Show me your insecurities
And I’ll give you my eyes so that you can see your perfections

Love me with all of you
And I promise I’d do the same

Para mi amor

If you listen close enough, you’ll hear my ocean of sadness
Crashing my joy with its waves of pain
Under the moonlight of desire

You could break me twice if that’s what you desired
You could have brought me to my lowest low and I’d still put you higher
You could rip my heart out and I’d believe that it’s right
For loving you whilst you hurt me is how I brought my heart delight

One day someone will read my life in these words and fall in love
But what they won’t know is that this person is no longer here and now above

You clap as it destroys. You laugh as its flames soar higher
You want the smooth cheater. You love the beautiful liar
But if that’s what you love now, is that who I have to be?
Do I have to make you feel bad about yourself and become your enemy?
Hell Nah. I’m good. It’s sad that you’d love me even though
You’d love me the most when my worst emotions start to show
You’d love me when I scream and kiss me when I yell, or
Do both and not once question the person that you fell for
I have the love to satisfy your deepest wishes. With me, it’s all or none
But I can not bring myself to hate or curse you. Sorry to ruin your fun
Even though I know it’s too late, maybe we’d get the chance we deserve
Please yell at me for my regrets and mistakes. Say that I’m on your last nerve
Stop loving me unconditionally when I make you cry at night
About that other girl who never bothered to make things right
Say you’re disappointed and that you hate the bad things I do
And then I’ll get on my knees and say the rehearsed apology I was supposed to
Before you beg to differ, I’ll give you my broken heart and apologies for making you suffer
I’ll say sorry for picking the cold one. And when I denied you to proclaim my love for her
I’d apologize for leading you to that monster
I’d acknowledge everything you’ve done for her
And for your broken heart, I’d gladly be your comforter
And when you unashamedly tell me again how you feel
While cupping your tears, I’d say it’s mutual. And this time, for real
